Anybody attempt to refurb their dead battery packs? It would be nice if there were compatible LiPo batteries that could be used to swap with the old one.
Refurbish your own battery?

It can be done, but returning a 3s back into the intelligent battery case is like opening Pandoras box.
I like a good challenge.
Would just need to find a decent battery.BTW, I thought that they were 4s batteries. They apparently are:

Yes the M2 is a 4S. Thought you were talking about an MP.

It helps to be more specific in your original post so those trying to help have the FULL picture to try and help you.
This is true - I forgot. But it is in my signature.It helps to be more specific in your original post so those trying to help have the FULL picture to try and help you.

My old eyes didnt see it there.
You should be able to find equivalent batteries on one of the several Chinese websites; Wish.com, aiexpress.com and others.I like a good challenge.

No worries - stop using your age as an excuse though!
What was that sonnie? Didnt hear you. Forgot to put my hearing aid in.
Seems like your old age is causing confusion too. I'm typin' at ya, not talkin'! Put yer glasses on!
Can you please use a bigger font? I cant read what youre writing.
Sure. Hopefully I'll remember it for the future.
Now where were we? Something about battery refurbs, I think. Anybody try it? Anybody?

Reusing the smart board on a new set of 3S lipos (out of another Mavic battery matching capacity is ALMOST possible. Here on the forum someone had the best results with the aftermarket batteries. The smart board is far less sensitive and isn’t looking for the slightest voltage change to brick itself. The OEM batteries I just learned the hard way.... brick too easy.
Way beyond my abilities. So I am debating on whether to just make an balanced XT60 pack pack out of my brick or be patient and wait for one of you really smart and talented young bucks to stumble across a universal remedy lol...

So are you suggesting that the OEM smart boards will self terminate if they see too large a delta in voltage when the pack is initially swapped out? Or is it looking for anomalies after they've been swapped and are either being charged or used?
It's a shame they make it difficult (and I'd guess intentionally) to simply replace the cells and rejuvenate an old pack. I've done this with power tools etc for a few years but with DJI they want to have total control over every aspect of the package. Sounds a lot like my Apple products.
For something like a drone, I can't say that I could blame them. If somebody tries this and borks it up, DJI stands a good change of having their reputation hurt depending on what happens on failure.

Yes, any type of up or down voltage outside of a seemingly specific window causes issues. I believe I have seen on the forum someone being able to unattach one and put other cells on it. But because of the capacity it is looking for to operate and generate usable readings it’s hard to match or change what the board has been programmed to look for. So it has to be hacked into and I do t know that it’s been done. Thought I saw something about it’s firmwa but how to get into any of that, I haven’t found or received that answer.

Now folks you can power the drone with other cells, and for extended flight times. You just have to guess as to what the voltage is. Without the battery smart board I should say.
