What's do you all think about this?

@Ed209 that's what happened when I added two MS3.0's to the smart board. Like @digdat0

I think it's possible the Mavic counts the cells.

What's do you all think about this?

DJI Go works across the DJI platform. Inspire/Matrice uses 6S. That's why you see that.

 

[Ed209]

Is that with it powered on??? It should be identifying 3S through the balance connectors

Interesting. But no battery data at all. I don't think flying like this is worth it.

Although I suppose if the original three cells where hooked up still this would work like normal.

Lol, you mock me?
either way that made my day
If your designing/looking for something to put inside yourself over the weekend; The original & the Best..

nope,I wouldn't mock you. being genuine. btw I dont think that one would fit, you got a slimmer model[emoji41]

So I have found the Rhino 1050 mAh batteries for around $10 each and I see you are attaching them with Velcro. Can you clarify if the two prongs come with the batteries or are something you added and if so, how are they connected to the adapter? (ANSWER: I see MaxxMod sells the adapter with LED and prongs for $63. I am guessing this can be built for less with copper model train strips) Do you remove the plugs each time you charge it or just the batteries? (ANSWER: I am assuming not so as not to loosen the connection, but you can no longer transport the drone in your case, if you add the adapter on it.) Do the Rhino's come with a way to charge them? (ANSWER: It doesnt look like it and you have to Discharge all RHINO batteries every 2 days or they will overcharge and expand and lose their charge. You can also go up to 1500 mAh at the max end.) Finally I didnt intend to ANSWER my own questions but here is a YOUTUBE How To Link: [I deleted the link because it was idiotic and stupid.] This above mod is simple and straight forward.

Are speaking to me? You mean the connector? Yellow connector?

The XT60 connector comes with the battery in most cases.

Picture perfect flight. Check out the signal score. Remember I live right in the middle of nothing but trees for miles.

1300 feet? Yikes

What's wrong with that? That's above sea level.

 

[TheLightSpeed!]

Pretty high up. That's all.

 

[sprtbkrydr]

Pretty high up. That's all.

Yeah I agree but I always have to climb pretty high right near the turn around point or I'll loose signal. Been nice if DJI would have put antennas in all four of the legs.

Hmm. That's super high. I assume you're not at sea level?

So, I'm no expert. Buuut, here's what I see. That skid plate from China is almost certainly causing you problems. Especially in low light.

I've had this happen before during a flight. I went in and shut off all downward facing sensors. Landed great!

I have now tried to fly with no xtra battery on and it was dark. I had no problems with the Controls or landing problems.
I had the carbon skid plate on so my conclusion is that the plate is not disturbing the drone sensor.
What can it be then?
Does the battery mod disturb the electronics in the Mavic in any way? That's what I'm thinking[emoji848]

 

[Jonas.Sut]

Two of these might work pretty well.

This is what a expert told me about this battery:

LiIon batteries don’t work well as they have a different discharge curve.

The Mavic thinks the LiIon is almost empty after a few minutes, but it isn’t. There is no way to change that behaviour.

I personally tested the Titans and they were no good.

Sweet! You easily could have pushed a bit further! What externals you used?
