Thanks so much for the video Dave! As always great and informative video!👌(ps. Loved the end!! Fun little twist!…hehehe)

[@joseantoniotoledoherrera9898]

I must say that the safety tip regarding the handling of these batteries is very important, lithium is very dangerous if it ignites, and this can happen with a simple short circuit, I congratulate you for starting the video with that warning.

[@gadijameyer9888]

Very good advice about the battery 👍👍💪

[@webuydronessa]

Thanks for watching

[@shabs215]

Didn't even know that batteries can be fixed 👍👍

[@webuydronessa]

Yes for sure its something we specialize in :)

[@coacharchierabanz2488]

where can we get this software

[@AndrewAveley]

That’s why you guys can fix mine :) My antimagnetic personality may cause static !!

[@InfinityDrones]

Great video. Would love if you can switch the repair video part so that its from our perspective.

[@webuydronessa]

Noted!

[@michaelwagner3161]

Any chance we could get a breakdown/reccomendation of safe travelling (via Plane) with drones/drone batteries?

[@joseantoniotoledoherrera9898]

I appreciate the effort in showing us the generalities of the process, however after watching several videos, we found the practical part. You must buy an interface that can cost between $60 and $120. Then there is the software license which is incredibly high. Since it is not a license as we are used to paying and using, it is conditional on a day and up to a month, $100 minimum price and up to $1000 a month, which leaves it out of reach of a person who at most is going to repair one to two batteries, which is usual for someone who buys a drone. I have three and it is not profitable, considering that a new one is still at the excessive price of $160.

[@ggeorgeize]

hi dave from south africa to australia,could you please tell me what program to use for the battery,thanks

[@dronesetc9769]

I never saw where you connected the power supply to the battery, I can assume its on black and red, but on a lipo that would only charge the end cells. confusing to me watching this, leaves me with more questions than answers???

[@martinmastronardi6380]

hi ! any idea to do this with a tb60 matrice battery? thanks and best regards!

[@jangulpowell3495]

So DJI makes the batteries are unrepairable basically.. Ain't nobody got time for this. The first step is cracking the case. Just tried it. All you're going to do is break that, too. I appreciate you showing me this is a waste of time. I gave you a thumbs up for that. i guess if these batteries were economically repairable , somebody would actually be offering a repair/exchange service. Kids, make sure you charge your batteries every month... or else

[@kevinbronco5499]

Seriously, I was hoping for a solution like you see on power tools where you make a quick jump to wake it up.

[@r33gz]

batteries can be repaired 🤯mindblown

[@webuydronessa]

They absolutely can be repaired :)

[@lynchknot]

Thanks for the video but it's really annoying having to adjust the volume every time you fast forward the video. the music is too loud, IMO, in comparison to your voice. Then it's too low when you come back on.

[@webuydronessa]

Thanks for the feedback

[@stevencarpenter8841]

A couple suggestions. Tighten up edit. So much talking that really isn't needed. Good edit could cut this from 30+ minutes to 15 or so. Also, sound levels are so varied. Music is crazy loud and your voice is super soft relative. I have to keep adjusting my volume. Suggest you wear a wireless mic so sound is more even.

[@webuydronessa]

Thanks for the feedback, yes this was one of our first vidoes , we have since invested in a decent mic

[@yossishi221]

hi great video thanks but cant fix the pcb board guard when the voltage as drop so much the pcb get lock so cant fox without the software correct? thanks yossi

[@webuydronessa]

Yes thats correct, you need to get the voltage up on the cells

[@yossishi221]

after i up each cell i must the software?? from where i can receive this pc software and the interface to connect to the pcb of the batterys

[@yossishi221]

is yhere adpater with usb connection to the pc to unlock the batterys ? also i need for mavic pro 1 thanks

[@scenesofisrael1444]

how is the best way to connect i.e. Whatsapp, email, etc. I need to revive a couple of dji batteries but don't know where to get all the adapters to fit with the CP2112 I don't find them online.? Curtis

[@webuydronessa]

If you based in South Africa we have 20 CP2212 boards arriving in the next week

[@softa74]

Why is the current negative in the DJi spark battery reading? ( 0A i 0B )

[@mehdirng2983]

[@brianpatterson22]

Can you fix drone batteries if they’re broken

[@webuydronessa]

It depends what you mean by "broken" are they swollen or just not charging anymore ?

[@raffyturc]

how about swapping new cells? does this method also work?

[@webuydronessa]

Its does yes but very tricky to do

[@alybubba100]

I need the software.

[@taylorferrell6383]

I had a drone wreck itself and the battery went into the street and a car ran over my fpv battery slightly smashed it and even V shaped the mother board I had no clue how it didn’t exploded in the road. I took apart and cut each battery apart (6) while my buddy watched in the garage. I stressed so hard over it like bro you don’t understand what kind of bomb I have in my hand cause this battery was at 100 percent while 1 min fly time blew it was smashed. Each pack had 4voltd still in them. I solder wire to them and have battery packs for 5v led pixel lights now lol

[@chopper8511]

Sent an email for the software, but no reply

[@greganwhittal]

I didn't release it was actually that easy compared to what I thought

[@webuydronessa]

Yes simple enough but very risky lol

[@H_A_F_GAMING]

Question? If the battery is swollen and notncharging, it is considered dead

[@ChuckNorrisUltra]

Any swelling is not good. Throw it away. Very dangerous at that point.

[@Applemixvideo]

How i get this soaftwer?

[@webuydronessa]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZiUmGWXjNmtars Details are in the description of the above video

[@NukularPower]

is it possible to do this with a DJI fpv battery?

[@webuydronessa]

There is no software support for them as yet , we attempted one yesterday with no luck

[@lorands]

​@@webuydronessahas there been any updates since your last post regarding the fpv batteries?

[@multumesc100]

@@webuydronessa ⁠ I have the same question. Have a couple FPV batteries that I need to recover.

[@webuydronessa]

@multumesc100 we have not had the opportunity to do an FPV battery as yet so we are unsure at this stage

[@danielluscombe6982]

Dji goggles 2 battery i have same issue heeelllp!

[@webuydronessa]

We have not had the opportunity to test one yet , so can't say if it's possible or not

[@rogiervdheide]

Why do you break these batteries apart? When they still hold a bit of charge so you can read out the battery management chip, can you then not connect to the data and clock terminals of the battery's connector? How much time does a complete battery repair take you? Is it not more affordable to get a new battery?

[@CRUZROYHelicopters]

wow you took apart the spark battery with a iphone repair tool....wow, you sure you did not have them apart before hand ????

[@webuydronessa]

No Sir we just know our way around DJI batteries we have done 100's already 🙂

[@SailingSarah]

Scrap it

[@thomasgilbert6924]

Software please 🫣

[@dengamleidiot]

30+ minutes?! Just tell me ffs!!!!!

[@webuydronessa]

Hi. Not sure what you mean

[@zdzichzcan2808]

It's hard to understand what you're saying over the background sound, You seem to be muttering something under your breath I'm done listening to what you say halfway through. Sorry

[@webuydronessa]

Sorry I don't understand your comment , audio is on in the video ?

[@dr_chicken5911]

There's a Reason these type of Vidyas have Poor Audio and Visuals!!!
