Mavic Mini ultimate battery mod tutorial

In this video I show step by step how I replaced the cells in my Mavic Mini battery pack.

Here is my Facebook page:

Perfect. That thread solution was brilliant. That’s exactly what i was looking for when u came here.

[Undergroundexpedition]

That's pretty cool. I'm sure everyone already knows this but do not mix batter chemistries, and mix old and new batteries, or even battery from different batches if possible. For a lot of different reasons. But it's still an awesome mod

[WilliamGilbert]

You gave me another brilliant idea!! Just use 2 DJI batteries.. but make a Disconnect between each 3 wires, SO you can charge both batteries separately!! I will do this, thanks!

The level of description and creative thinking. Wow great video!!

Very detailed, was the only place I was able to find the answer to which pads did what on the battery terminal. Middle two are positive, the two next to the positive on each side are negative. Thank you

lipo and liion have very different way to deliver power they have to be charged equally like balanced bc if not lipo will try to level charge and with discharge rates being so different there could be battery damage.

Interesting video! Can't wait to see how you make the battery usable again. Big up.

Wow man I am so glad that I found you! This is great stuff. Thank you so much for all you do

Sweet video bro helped me alot I got two mini batteries I got cheap at bestbuy I use in my mini SE. Think they wanted get rid of the stock they had left. Wanted to mess with one of them to make something for a range extender for use with litchi way points for a security perimeter patrol around my property . I figure the extra weight is ok as I want it set at 110feet agl so not very high at all. I have hovering points in the track which gives me a really good flight time on the stock mini2 batteries. I just want more and more haha 😂

Köszi szépen Drusza! Nagyon hasznos volt!

Hi Zolly. Have you been able to replace the original battery cells with LiPo cells? I presume a different charger might be necessary

[ravibhadaniya]

Sir can we use normal soldering instead of spot welding in batteries ??

[dennisbrooks]

I use a floss threader to pull floss under bridges. It is a stiff piece of plastic with a loop in one end. I slipped it through with some waxed floss in the loop. It went around fairly easy, cutting the silicone and lubricated by the wax. Easier for me than hunting up a stiff wire and hooking thread through.

The drone just shuts the motor off when it says battery voltage low after you cut the balancing wire. Shouldn't it try to go home or land first? Or is it because the drone knows it's not actually flying

[raymondtremblay]

Hi Zolly. I was wondering, why did you cut power from this BMS then go to all the trouble of modifying this board? Would it have worked to simply leave the Lipo cells and balance wire in place, solder in your Sony Murata VTC6 cells, then remove the Lipo cells?

Teach me how to change the Mini 2's battery cells for more powerful ones.

[kcchiok]

you are a genius! 🤗 does it affects the GPS module?

[tedbundy]

Interesting...have u just tried using some Samsung 18650s inr 3000mah to 3500mah batteries...and not running the dual pack...just upgrading the mini2 pack.. I might buy some crap mini 1 batteries on eBay and try it....i ran 5500mah lipid on my mavic pro...with a RC adaptor for charging dji on a racing drone charger

[stelic]

Hii thank you for share
So you connect the lipo in parallel because the pcb to remain powered when disconect the 18650. You trick the pcb😁

[SharpLikeAtV]

also, the r25 have 2500 mah as i rember and the li po cells you are using might be 2.2Ah, and even tho you put the same li ion cells instead of li po, you have to consider discharging and charging the added li ion cells in order to see if they have similar capacity. li po have 3.7v nominal and li ion have 3.6v
