So my phone is taking power from my controller when using it. This is letting me use only two of three batteries before the power in the controller is out. Can I mod or even better use a cable that only transfer data and not power?
It's possible to prevent charging of an Android device if it's rooted & you install, for instance this free app --> Battery Charge Limit [ROOT] - Apps on Google PlaySo my phone is taking power from my controller when using it. This is letting me use only two of three batteries before the power in the controller is out. Can I mod or even better use a cable that only transfer data and not power?
So many uses for a small battery pack with these drones. ?If I need extra life from the controller battery I supplement it with a USB backup battery connected to the unused USB connection on my controller. I have my tablet connected to the USB A port and a small USB battery pack plugged into the micro b port, it will supplement the controller battery.

Junk that Android. Time for IOS.Darnit. Must have missed that part. It's an Android. Well I guess I have to live with it.
The Mini controller has only a single port which must be used to connect to the phone.I use the Controller USB ports, the controller has two usb ports, I plug my tablet into the port located on the front center of the controller. I use the usb port on the side (the standard port for charging)to connect to my usb battery source. The controller will draw from either source but when you connect a battery it will use it by default to supplement the controller power draw. Look at your manual for controller all of it items buttons/ports are detailed.
But what do you set it to in order to not draw power?I can disable this "feature" on my phone.On Motorola G7 Power. Simply search for USB in settings. And hit USB controlled by. See screenshot.View attachment 107294
