Mavic Air 2 Battery Mod Thread

[Justinswidebody]

Alright, here we go again! Show us your battery mods!!!! Tell us about your amazing flight times!

I haven't done any time testing yet but here is my first prototype and it works fine

Wow this was fast.

This guy already hacked the battery to 7000mah for a 50+min flight. I understand he is using original dji cells in 3s2p with re programmed battery management that recognizes the increased capacity.

Yes I am in contact with this guy.
He offers great batteries

Let us know how much he’s charging? And how warm are your motors with extra weight...!

 

[Justinswidebody]

They're hot but not so hot you can't keep your hands on them.. I'll find out some pricing for you all

Question, do the logs contain any information about the weight the drone is carrying? I suppose they could intuit it from other sensor data, like how long you were flying. I'm not likely to do this to my drone anytime soon, but anyone have any issues getting warranty coverage after having done something like this?

1.QUESTION WHAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY ? 2. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO FLY LONGER? FOR ME 25 MINS IS GREAT FOR ME ROUND TRIP . JUST ASKING

Thanks for sharing,

I can see the benefit of having a longer battery life with MA2, great for professionals needing additional time to capture that rare shot or video feed.

11,000 meters, a stock Mavic Air 2 should meet this range and return safely without the battery mod under perfect conditions. It won’t surprise seeing this very soon, from those receiving the MA2 from first batch.

Happy flying everyone,
Paul

For battery

I have his FB contact etc, just that I’ve been enquiring a little too much without purchase haha.

my guess is for a complete battery without sending in your own for a mod - $160 to $180

 

[Waldo Pepper]

I sent an email, hopefully he sees it and gets back.

Thanks again for posting,
Paul

I think he wants more like $350....
Keep in mind a stock battery alone is $115...

I also think $350 is a little high. But people will pay it. Me? I'll just make my own.

Oh my....$350 is really a high cost.......It must be due to part shortage or literally cannibalizing another fresh brand new Mavic Air 2 pack. In my country (Malaysia, which is right next to Singapore for [email protected]) we have another 2 privateer hackers that can do the same thing, up to Mavic 2, Inspires etc the prices are competitive. If I take a Mavic 2 pack with 11000+ 4s2p as a reference, its going for about around US$200++.

Yes I am in contact with those guys too.... Their work is top quality for those prices also.
I'm assuming you're talking about the guys that make these

Not really. Those with printed plastic housings are either based in Taiwan or China. My 2 guys make more like these...

IE usually just with shrinkwrap and tape over the cells. I think those you quoted are even better. I have a Mavic 1 Pro 7660mAh pack that I love and can fly up to 34mins with 10% or 3.55V landing.

Nice, I guess I don't know them then. Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate you sharing, your contact got back with me with a list of prices for different type quads. This is great, but before I order is there anything I need to do to the Mavic Air 2 app or firmware wise so battery is accepted? Or is this a plug-in replacement Battery with no additional work to MA2?

Before I order, just need additional information. Thanks!

It's a plug and play ready to go.

Thanks, my MA2 isn’t due to arrive until next week. First thing I’ll need to find out if MA2 fits my flying needs, of all is good I’ll order a battery from your contact.

Thanks again
