Split the head of Zero Lipo (for non-stop power supply), is it safe?

I am thinking to DIY some wires into a Y-sharp stuff so that I can plug two batteries (in parallel) into Zero Lipo simultaneously.

When use, I plug only one battery. When battery is low, I plug in a 2nd battery and then remove the 1st one, so power becomes non-stop. My concern is if this action will induce electric pulse that is harmful to Zero Lipo/Zero W, especially when Zero W is running? Or, any chance it will trigger a reboot or something?

If everything is viable, it will be fun to do something so that my Zero W will notify me when battery is low (thru BT or wifi to my mobile).^^

Another question
I have 10 small LiPo batteries idle; I bought them for my mini-helicopter before. Can I use them on Zero LiPo? My concern is the "10 C" marking which means that they can tolerate higher currency output (low internal resistance?). I think it is good for brushless motor but not sure if it hurts electronics?

Thanks for your help
