Mavic Pro Battery Mod

[pure3d2]

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.

Just because you don't know how, doesn't mean it's not possible. This behavior can be changed, but it involves doing stuff we're not allowed to talk about on this forum.

Well, yeah, but I didn't want to assume that that was OK either.

It is perfectly fine to talk about anything you wish in conversations

I did this today and got rid of the direct solder so I could close the legs again.. I think it may have better contact then the clip...If anyone attempts this or (maybe they already did or no one wants to) I would suggest cutting a bigger hole then I did...soldering the wires in there was like playing operation and i lost. "Don't Touch The Sides" BUZZZZZ! I tested it by turning the battery on outside in case it was grounded. I would have thrown it like a grenade..

Yeah, that's it! That's the way my Mavic behaves[emoji1304]
But it does not do it every time, sometimes it works, other times it does not[emoji1304]
Because of this plate I have crash landed twice[emoji1304][emoji1304]. And I have just been very, very, very lucky that I did not smash my Mavic in thousen pieces[emoji1317]

He said we could talk about anything mod related.

 

[TheLightSpeed!]

Can't talk about anything with software or firmware mods. Just hacking your drone up for adding batteries or antennas.

Alright guys I need some help here.
@dirtybum @MacLak @chazz @Ed209...

So got my clip today, got my two lipo 3.0 MS batteries. Charged them all up, and hooked it up for a test flight.

Can you guys answer these questions for me?
1. Externals first or DJI battery first? On start?
2. Same question in shut off
3. I read I think I'm not supposed to charge these MS's to 100%?
4. I kept getting a RED error that said "main Controller Data Error"? I'd land and it would go away and I would start again. Normal?
5. I noticed my Mavic battery was going down like normal, blinking dot 4, then 3 etc. does it keep going and then the externals charge the battery?

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Please help this noob!
