Battery Mod Info

[JOEREZ1XM]

I have succesfully achieved 33mins of flight time and possibility to go higher but there are some issues.

First of all, not possible with DJI props. 14x4.8 T-Motor needs to be mounted on... and also adapters which are not easily available around.

Secondly, building the battery costs a little much; around the same amount as 2 x TB48 cost. I still not decided is it going to be logical to make a battery costs that much compared to having 2 seperate TB48s which can offer around 22+22mins total.

Cells being used needs to be having the same capacity and inner resistance to give you the best flight time, also they need to be connected directly cell to cell to create 6s3p config. That is the keypoint.

I have designed a new battery case easier for everyone to use. Can be mounted directly to AC slot and can be charged directly from original charger...

Could you post pictures of your work? Are you saying, you get more run time by connecting on the other side of the board like in the picture I posted? I was also thinking maybe connecting to both sides with a diode on the lead going directly to the pack side negative so you wouldn't back feed and have the Inspire 1 turn on as soon as you insert the battery and still have your auxiliary battery work in case of Inspire battery shutdown, does that seem like a doable theory, If some could figure out the specs of a diode to use I would try it. I posted a second picture of what I'm suggesting.

You can see it also as some security against dead batteries. I don't want so see my bird dropping out of the sky just because the DJI batteries have some strange issue sometimes.

No, I am saying direct cell to cell parallel connection. Check under the paper tape on cells board.

Some parts / batteries have arrived. More to come....

OH MY GOD! I just received my shipment from Thunder Power and the charger and power supply are HUGE and VERY HEAVY. People, this is serious charging hardware. I'm used to my Tenergy TB6 (which is a very good LIPO charger/balancer) but this Thunder Power equipment is BEASTLY! Cant wait to start my batt mods and use this stuff.

Yeah these guys don't mess around. TP has the best quality LiPo tech around in my opinion.

Hi Damon,
My name is Rich and I've ordered the battery mount and am about to pull the trigger on the tp2700 lipos you mentioned earlier in this thread. Do you still recommend these?

Hey Rich, I do. I'll probably never run out of stuff to test but for right now those TP 2700's are really a great addition, super high quality and you'll love them.

Awesome, thanks for the reply and for posting that coupon code! Looking forward to this mod!

I saw in your new black edition thread that you are sending out batts for mod. Did you find doing the mod yourself too difficult? Based on the info in this thread seems some disassembly, minor mod to the shell (holes), solder work and reassembly. What made you decide to send it off instead of continuing to do it yourself?

I really feel a little afraid doing that, but you maybe right, i have to think and feel more confidence on me, thanks any way.

Done them myself but my time is limited so my next batch will go out to get done. Time is something I have very little of these days!

V7 of the X5/R battery mount.

same for me, no time, all day long 7/7 in my shop, dreaming to fly my inspire, my multi rotor Eagle G4, and try to find one free moment to make the mod. this is my life for this moment.
i saw the new bracket , like it and will order to prepare the coming manific X5R.

Battery porn.

What is that in front of your SPC? Looks like the beginnings of a custom Inspire battery. ???

Iv posted this here as I suspect you folks may be able to help,

Does anyone have any decent close up images of the battery PCB on both sides they can share ?

if in wrong place tell me to sod off [emoji6]
