How to Replace the Mavic Pro RC battery and where to get it

Nothing fancy, just simple and straight to the point on how to replace the battery in the DJI Mavic Pro remote controller. I really hope this video helps some of my fellow Mavic Pro drone pilots. :)

(Updated: 9-4-2024) Note: I do not make anything from eBay if you purchase one of the batteries below, nor am I affiliated with any of the suppliers. But from my experience these batteries do work perfectly. My only suggestion is to only purchase for a seller that has 98% or higher positive review score and has at least a 100 or more reviews. Hope this helps everyone. Give me a thumbs up if you can. Thanks, Rick Warton

Well Rick I have Drone #1 apart with the battery in its case. Scary when popping off some plastic but nothing broke or scratched. The only part that is confusing is releasing the cables. Instead of release buttons I fooled around and it appears the thin plastic flat plastic along the back of the connector must be lifted on the rear of connector to remove the ribbon, With the tab released I laid some blue mashing tape on the ribbon and it came out easy. The old battery tape was not holding the battery in the case. The old battery was eight years old with minimal swelling. I hope reassembly is just as easy. Tomorrow I will do Drone #2. Thank You for the best battery replacement video. 🤪👍.You are da man.

I ordered a new battery from the link you provided and followed the video and successfully replaced my battery. You Saved Me $$$ - Thank You!

Thanks mate! Just resurrected my Mavic Pro 1 using your guide. This video is probably more relevant as time goes by and batteries die.

Hi and 'Moin Moin' from north Germany! :) I am so happy that i have found your great Video! I was afraid to throw my controller away but with your video i was able to fully restore the functionality of my Mavic Pro! So thank you very much for your help and keep going on with such good video stuff! Cheers man!

Do you have video content on how to recell mavic pro from start to finish? That will hel a lot! Thank you

[findingjoe]

Couldn't work our why my mavic wasn't charging up anymore, watched this tutorial, changed the battery over I bought from eBay and now works a treat. Thanks for this.

Great job Rick! You have saved a lot of drone owners a lot of grief. Hard to believe the dji engineers could not engineer this controller with a small battery hatch like other transmitters.

Rick. It's guys like you who make our lives a whole lot easier. Imagine if your video didn't exist. I'd be looking to purchase a whole new controller for my drone! Thanks a whole heap. You've saved me a heap of moolah.

Great video Rick - saved me tossing my Mavic Pro Platinum. One small note, the first 2 screws to remove are Allen heads, not Torx bit screws.

Thanks for this video, was a great help in changing the battery in my Mavic 2 Pro controller. Though I did have a couple extra cables to deal with, it was basically the same. I found a 4500 mAH replacement, and it's working great! For the first time in months, I have a Lipo that will charge to 100% now. Thanks again.

Terrific video Sir. I have M2 + M3 + FPV and was about to put my old original Pro on ebay and of course battery complety discharged. It would not take a charge at all but during the course of watching your your very informative video and before ordering a replacement, I discovered that it was my USB cable that was defective. Duh!!! Thanks.

Nice and useful explanation Mr. Wharton. My remote control's battery starts to discharge faster.
But now I know how to replace the battery.

Warm greetings from the Netherlands

Thanks for your video! While I had to bite my lip while you were sniffling (lol), I was able to follow your instructions and replaced my battery (after purchasing the one you recommended). When I bought my Mavic Pro, it had been siting in a warehouse since 2017, and both the battery in the RC and the battery in the AC were shot. Now, it works great! I should have watched the whole video first, I would have put the tape over the little speaker while I had it apart.

[WALBK]

Nice, well - detailed video, Rick! 👍 My controller battery is starting to show its age, so great to see the replacement procedure! 😉

[blackdog]

Great job Rick! I couldn’t ask for anything better! You da man!

[christianhansen]

Followed video to replace with new battery. Thank you for the video! Unfortunately I still have my original problem which is the remote will turn on. Say connecting for about 4 seconds, then shut off. Have you seen this before? Any ideas?

[OhHeyItsBilly]

I have a Mavic Pro (the original) and am having trouble finding a battery. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much for the video!

[greggampert]

Great Job, I followed it through step by step and replaced my lipo, Thank you very much for the detailed video.

[robertnitsch]

Thank You for a really well done advice!
