Dji Phantom 3 with Li-Ion Battery Test

[@riverbankfisher]

Only highly skilled electronics techs should dare modify these highly volatile batteries. In the wrong hands, this kind of modification could result in a massive explosion and fire. Very ingenious setup sir. I wish extra-capacity batteries were available in stock size for the older DJI Phantom series. I would love to have such extended flight times made possible for my Phantom 3.

[@benznote2342]

thank's for the interest from this experiment, this is for a quick test to make conclution, my opinion from this test is..if i use original li-ion battery (not fake cheap like this) and if we can set the minimum voltage for the battery on the P3S to for example 3v, i believe it can fly more than 30 minutes easy

[@Nicholas-im8bd]

Though lithium is absolutly volatile and can be dangerous as heck... its not a piece of dynamite. many many many people diy lithium power walls to power their house. If doing something like that never crossed your mind before reading this... then yiou are not the type of person who should be doing that type of thing lol

I like the fact that you’re willing to actually try things that are taboo and would have others cringing just at the thought on what they are risking let alone muster the courage to do so and be successful i support you brother👍👍

[@benznote2342]

Thanks mate, oh this is a hobby that is not cheap, I want to help people with limited funds (like me) not to be discouraged, there are always many ways for us to survive, even if it's a little ridiculous way but the important thing is that it works 🙂

I like that your keeping junk out of the landfill. But if you could get the camera onto your Reptile Dragon, Priceless.

[@benznote2342]

ah ah! i know someone will read my mind sadly we can't, the position of this gimbal was upside down is just perfect to put under the belly and i only have one plane with landing gear (skywalker) but we are far for now 😓

@@benznote2342 I've wanted to put a F16 Falcon like Tricycle landing gear on my Reptile Harrier? Or maybe suspend it on the fore deck of the Binary?

[@benznote2342]

@@spartan3299 attaching the landing gear is only suitable for a tractor or pusher engine but with the propeller position on top (similar to a skywalker), I don't understand how you would fly it for a harrier without scratching the propellers into the ground 🙄

Hello sir, what does the 4 connector below battery used for? Did u connect your Li-ion there?

[@benznote2342]

@@snahojnavarro8855 i'm not sure which connector do you mean, there are xt60 and balance connector, so i will explain both connector, xt60 is for the main power i put paralel thats why i said 4s2p ot mean two 4s battery in paralel, the balance connector are for charging because this is liion not lifefe battery like the original dji battery so we cant charging with dji charger to charge

[@snahojnavarro8855]

@@benznote2342 hello sir good morning. What I mean is, how did you mod the li-ion battery without the original dji li-po battery board. As you can see, I want to make a battery just like yours because i Lost the battery when it crashed, so I do'nt have the original dji battery. Now the drone wont recognize any external battery. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

[@benznote2342]

@@snahojnavarro8855 oh it still use dji bms, thats why you see the head of dji battery are still intack, i just remove the original cell from it and replace with liion, of couse not that simple you will brick the board if you cut the dji cell, for that you must carefull to put the liion first and then remove the original cell

[@noorazizitarsuni5661]

@@benznote2342 hello... what did you mean by put the li-ion fist before removing the the original battery? is that mean solder the li-ion first to the bms board? sorry im a bit confused there🙏

[@benznote2342]

@@noorazizitarsuni5661 yes make it serial with the original cell, and then you pull the original out, so the BMS not realize the cell battery has been change, because if BMS know it the BMS will LOCK

Хорошая идея. Но как Вы подключаете плату bms? Ее надо постоянно разблокировать? Или bms плата у Вас от не оригинального аккумулятора? Вообще давно надо уходить от литий полимера.

[@benznote2342]

Я делал односекундное короткое замыкание на MOSFET каждый раз при запуске (активировал питание от BCM). как я сделал с другим умным аккумулятором kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKi3m5-AgZqJadE может быть, неплохая идея ... этот эксперимент не потому, что он терпит неудачу, а скорее потому, что FC заставляет его приземлиться, потому что ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ О НИЗКОМ НАПРЯЖЕНИИ все еще использует стандартную липосакцию, на литий-ионе на самом деле все еще много энергии.

[@ДмитрийФедотов-р3п]

@@benznote2342 Да я об этом не подумал. Так как програмным способом нельзя это изменить. А вот для phantom 2 можно. Там в ассистент есть такая функция. Она не разрешает садиться при якобы низком заряде аккумулятлра. Кстати для размышления: в неоригинальных аккумуляторах phantom 3 применяют lipo а не lihv. Ее плата bms похоже обманывает полетный контроллер так как lipo имеет заряд ниже. Если у Вас все получится, то Вы первый кто это сделает.

[@jackgai1929]

@@benznote2342 Please forgive my stupidity. How did you activate the MOSFET of the lithium battery? Can you share the specific steps and the power supply location during activation? It is said that the battery of the P3 series cannot be permanently unlocked through software, right? If so, this battery-activated solution may be ideal for you. In addition, after activating battery power according to your method, will the communication between the smart battery and the drone also be available? For example, transmitting single cell voltage, temperature and other parameters to the drone. I have a P3A, and one of the batteries has experienced serious degradation. I plan to replace it with a set of large-capacity batteries and hang it on the tripod. Please feel free to enlighten me. As a keen DIY enthusiast, I am willing to take risks to gain new knowledge and skills, they are so fascinating. Thank you so much!😊

[@DiegoDiGiacomo-i4l]

please, can you explain me how to make the "unlock"? can you send me photos of the board or something?

[@benznote2342]

i'm using CP2112 method, you can search the howto from google there are plenty people using it, but carefull you also need to know what version bmc from the pcb of battery because not all can be unlock (only the old version) i'm forgot which one because this is a long time a go

[@omjinfungkysollo848]

excuse me bro, is that the way to attach the xt60 cable to any line? there are tutorials?

[@benznote2342]

the intelligent battery board is actually locked, I activated the mosfet by jumping it, the method is more or less the same as in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKi3m5-AgZqJadE but i'm so sorry I didn't share how to do it because I consider it an irresponsible act 😪

O meu phantom 3 standard voou por mais de 17 minutos, mais autonomia que o seu. Bateria original desde 2015 ou 2016.

pena que ele só voe com essa maldita bateria, que tem de ter a placa pcb, caso contrario, esquece ....

[@JD_1]

Good deal! 👍🏾

[@benznote2342]

for charging cycles endurance converting to li-ion you're right JD is a good deal, but if we look at it from weight to flight time ratio not worth it for this phantom 3 (same as stock battery), too much pulling amp and li-ion is not happy with that

[@wingsmh27]

Hi benz, i have a question, can we use different amp battery pack in combination, 4s, for plane also, and 21700 li ion cell are hi-discharge rate please tell company specifications

[@benznote2342]

of course we can the capacity will increase but carefull the c rate will be follow from the lowest
