Mavic2 Battery Mods

[mlash]

Looks good, Time for you to go for the limit![emoji106]

Definitely, I'm chomping at the bit!

I just purchased the double battery from Taobao. Lets see if and when it will arrive. Here is a screenshot of one of the reviewers.

Yes, I've got some thin foam that I'm going to cover it with. My concern at this point is the "Auto Land." Once I do my first test flight and all goes well I will be more confident. I have bean following what you have bean saying about heating the batteries and I'm taking your advise for sure!

Did you change the battery parameter for max power? I tested a 22% charged battery and went 10m/s up for 50 seconds and no auto land. Voltage at 3.51v under load.

Which 1 is that ? I been hesitant to change much until someone smarter than me says it's ok lol

It's set to "400" how much should I raise it?

I think I set my stock one to 600.
I think unless you're going full throttle, sport mode, into a headwind for minutes at a time it's probably fine to max that value out. DJI seems to have lowered this threshold on the M2.

Sounds good lolo. I'll give it a try as well thanks!

This may be the first time the elusive Lolo has shown his hand.
I hope he is feeling ok and not sick

Hahah, I'm always sharing setup tips all over the place.

I lowered the normal RC scale and increased tilt so when in ATTI mode the speed will be higher.

I don't have a battery mod M2 flying yet so can't test the heavy auto landing, so if one of you guys could test and post back.

I have not had the chance to 100% verify this, but I am fairly sure my suspicions that the heavy auto land manifests well before on a hover versus real straight line flying. This seems to have been verified on the last several modified class flights by the group. And cold batteries also seem to accelerate the heavy auto land phenomenon.

One more detail, I have avoided the heavy auto land (I assume) by getting a new bird with rev1 of software. I didn't query the group on what versions they flew on with a heavy load since this topic came up.

Could you check to see if any parameters changed between updates?

I have left my shop for the weekend, will check Sunday night.

I did this test yesterday and it does appear that forward flight does hinder the Auto Land. I only heated the Main battery before flight, no parameter mods. I am on AC version .0100 and using the Hobbystar 8000mah HV battery. AUW 1485.

Hi guys it’s great to see all the battery mod for the mav 2! Here’s my set up with x2 4000mah multistar battery’s and a battery holder, looking at shedding some weight as total weight 1610, thinking of sprinting the battery’s and holding them together with electrical tape? Good-bad? Any ideas would be great!
