    Battery mod thread

    Have you written up instructions or made a video about how you make your magic board? Is it just about the order it is disconnected or does the bms still require being hooked up constantly to > 6V? Wondering if you could potentially swap 18650 cells all day long (back into the original casing)...

    Mavic2 Battery Mods

    Did anyone else besides bean (RIP dude) try to do this mod and get a factory battery board to read any external 4S? I was under the impression that guys were finding out the board would brick itself as soon as it's disconnected from power.. but clearly his board is disconnected and still...

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    Of course, I have no problem sharing how I do it.. but I may not make it a tutorial and instead ask ppl DM me.. id prefer not to teach DJI how to up their security ;) but yes when I get more testing done and can be sure this is working properly I will be happy to share

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    Yea from what i've seen v1.12 was the last time dev mode was accessible.. but I just enabled it in the newest build that DJI has released.. I had to pull files from the 1.12 version and inject them into the latest version.. as not only did they comment out the code that allows you to trigger...

    GadgetGuy, are you aware of anyone who has made the mavic 2 fly off an external pack only? without piggybacking it onto an oem dji intelligent battery? also... I think I just figured out how to get dev mode in the latest dji assistant 2.0 Mac V2.0.10 2019-10-30 :D

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    Seriously? that sounds a lot like its software limited.. there is no way a high quality lithium battery should lose that much of its capacity from 30 discharges..

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    Ahh I misunderstood, I thought they had depleted to only giving you 5-6 min of flight time or something. I am very new to the MV2, were the original batteries it was released with only 3300? and now they are 3850.. I think after shipping and all that they would come to just as much as a new one...

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    If you have multple mavic 2 batteries that no longer hold enough charge to fly I would tear them apart, find the good cells amongst them all and rebuild as many as you can with good cells, or even recombine the cells into a "dumb battery" that can piggy back onto a good one, the other thing they...

    Thanks! I saw some adapters that let you add additional batteries to the oem battery. https://www.maxxuav.eu/products/dji-mavic-2-pro-zoom-battery-adapter-clip

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    Haha honestly, its very doable, but I still would want the oem battery in there, in addition to the tether, so when/if it fails/gets cut/yanks out, etc. You still have a full battery to safely fly home on ?

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery!

    I wanted to be able to fiddle with the settings and play with the simulator on my mavic without wasting precious battery life or wasting charge cycles on the very expensive 4S cell that DJI is using. A bunch of googling and fiddling later.. I found other people who wanted to do the same but no...
