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

[@gatorwing6231]

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.

[@rwarton1]

Thanks man, really glad it helped you out. Best wishes

[@gatorwing6231]

@@rwarton1 Both are done and charged up. The only problem on the second one is the little button camera tilt button on the lower right of the display flew to unknown territory. Anyway I found them on Ebay. It seems many people lose those buttons. I did lay down wide blue painters tape across a vertical strip of paper towel. I had the sticky side up so I could keep the little tiny screws in somewhat of a pastern as I removed them. Helpful for me as I am not the brightest star in the universe.🤪😜😝 Thank you once again Rick.

[@gatorwing6231]

My tiny camera tilt buttons arrived yesterday and look & work like originals. No problem if anyone looses them by accident. Amazon also has these little devils. 👍

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?

[@rwarton1]

Sorry I have no idea what the issue may be. I got out of the drone thing once they started talking about drone I.D.. But I would think since the DJI Mavic Pro series has been around for several years now you could probably pick up a used controller on eBay, Facebook, or craiglist pretty cheap now days. But I may be wrong since I've never looked. But give it a try and let me know if you have any luck. Thanks, Rick

[@jimlips]

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.

[@rwarton1]

So glad it was helpful, and thank you for your comment. I'm really surprised someone hasn't made a better video on replacing the battery. It's kind of a pretty important process to know when you need to replace the battery. Best Wishes

[@danman32]

Note: for the Mavic 2 (zoom or Pro) remote, disassembly is similar but not exact. When removing the button board, the tiny connectors are behind where you took out the Torx screws which you'd want to pry from the connector, lest you rip the wires from the connector, I didn't notice this, and got lucky the connectors/wires didn't break when I got the button board out. By the way, the Torx is T6, no way near T1.5. There are actually 2 Lipos in there, not 1, but probably in parallel, since rating on the label is 3.85V nominal, 4.4V max at 3950mAH. The double-sided tape is rather solid, broke a wooden skewer a few times trying to pry out the battery. I'd remove the LCD screen from the frame first before prying out the battery. There are holes under there that could be useful to push out the battery. Didn't work for me, but you might find something just the right size. If you do push through the holes or slots, use something non-metallic. I'm rather surprised the two cells are in parallel. That's never a good idea. I confirmed across the red and black leads I show 4.1V Which as an aside, I am surprised the remote shows that as 70% charge.

[@danman32]

Correction: it isn't the button board whose wire connections you need to be especially careful about, it is the joystick connections when you remove the top cover.

[@mikeflieger1809]

Hello Dear Mr. Warton, in the meantime I successfully followed your repair tutorial to change the transmitter lipo. I did use one with a higher capacity (called: HSABAT 623758-1S2P 4500mAh) compared to the given. It fits well. Thank you very much for your very good tutorial. Please let me give a small hint. Before disassembling it is helpfull to detach the lower right push button of the transmitter (located in the lower right corner of the display) otherwise it might brake by disassembling the chassis. Best regards M.

Thanks in advance.

[@rwarton1]

Sorry for the delay Patrick, I was out for a week on vacation as was not check my email. I'm sorry but the only information I have is what is on eBay. I suggest going to the ebay page of the item at www.ebay.com/itm/Original-2970mAh-3-7V-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-973760-1ICP10-37-61/273519563743?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 and clicking on the contact seller on the left side of the page and ask if they may have any suggestions on how you could receive the battery. The only other solution that comes to mind is have someone you know that lives in a country or province they do ship too and have it shipped there. Then have that person ship it to you. Now I know that is a big pain in the butt, but sometime you just have to work around the system. Best wishes

Hey Rick. Can you send the link or address in Hong Kong to order a battery? I really think the USB port is bad on the side. I have the original MAVIV Pro Platinum DRONE and remote controller.

Awesome video Rick. Yesterday I opened my backpack to find my remote soaked from a drink that leaked out. The remote was making a high pitch noise. With the help of your video I took it apart and disconnected the battery. Other than blowing it out with some dry compressed air do you have any recommendations before I reassemble. I was expecting to see some shorting out but I don't. But electronics isnt my strong point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Harold

[@rwarton1]

Hello Harold, If only water spilled on it I think leaving the battery out for a day or two should be fine. Laying it in the Sun for a bit or using a blow dry for about 10 mins will help insure all the water has evaporated. Now if something other then water spilled on it that's another story. Take soda for instance, even after the soda has dried up syrup and other ingredients may cause corrosion later. So what I do in cases like that is I use rubbing alcohol and pour it all over the circuit board and then used can air or an air compressor to blow off the circuit board. Then let the board dry over night and you should be good. Of course make sure the battery is not connected when doing this. Hope this helps. Best wishes Rick Warton

How long das good bat. should last on when flying?

[@rwarton1]

Sorry for the slow reply. The remote battery should last at least an hour of flying time. But this can be more or less depending on the type of device you have connected to it. The DJI remote attempts to also charge the device that it is connected too which can cause the remote to drain faster if the cell phone or tablet connected is not charged good before connecting. See this video to help make your remote battery last longer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXZgJmIeL59rtk Hope this helps.

Chukte, I'm sorry I do not have a supplier for the Mavic Pro 2 battery. Several have asked and I have had no luck in finding the battery. I've been told the battery in the Mavic Pro fits perfectly and the only difference is the Mavic Pro battery is a few hundred MW smaller than the Mavic Pro 2 battery but works perfectly. I have personally had a chance to see if this is true, but might be something to think about if your unable to find a Mavic Pro 2 battery for your controller. Best Wishes Rick

While the controller is apart, does anybody see a fix to keep it from charging the android phones

[@rwarton1]

The easy fix is to use the USB port on the bottom of the controller to connect your phone. Check out this video for more information on how to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXZgJmIeL59rtk Hope this helps.

[@rwarton1]

One other thought, while you have the controller apart put a strip of scotch's tape over the little hole on the speaker to help make the remote from being so loud when an alert is sounded. With the tape over the speaker it's now not so annoyingly loud. :)

Well done 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AboxofMonsters]

@@rwarton1 can I send you my remote ?! Hahaha I subbed ! Why couldn’t they just make the cover pop off the bottom and plug in a new battery? It’s not like anybody’s gonna mess with it inside of a warranty.

[@rwarton1]

@@AboxofMonsters Just like they do with phones they hope when the battery goes bad you'll just buy a new remote is my thought. People with money to burn probably do just buy a new remote.

[@AboxofMonsters]

@@rwarton1 they also figure the drone will be lost before batt goes belly up .

Hi rick, my mavics remote stopped charging at 4 pct and finally went to zero, tried replacing cable. The charging port is not broken. What could be the problem....

[@rwarton1]

It sounds like the battery is bad since you have already checked the charging port and replaced the cable. If your remote battery is over three years old it needs to be replaced anyways. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Merry Christmas.

[@free_thinkerr]

@@rwarton1 merry xmas to u too, no the battery is not that old my drone just 8 months old and used very few times

[@rwarton1]

Do you have a phone charger that you could try and use and see if it will charge your controller? When you plug in the charger to the controller does it show charging on the controller or does nothing display on the screen of the controller at all?

[@trosencrantz]

Been looking to replace the battery on my Mavic 2 Pro and on the back of the controller it says 3950 mAh 3.8v. Therefore this battery, may be under powering the newer Mavic 2 Pro controller. Can't seem to find a replacement on Ebay just yet. I've contacted the source you noted here and awaiting to hear if they provide this 3950 sized LiPo. Do you own a M2P at all?

[@rwarton1]

That's good to know. So the Mavic Pro 2 has a larger battery. I'll get with my sources and see if I can be of any help finding you a battery. Thanks for the heads up on the Mavic Pro 2 controller. I'll update my the description on my video to let other know. Wonder what battery the Mavic Pro 2 smart controller uses? Bet it's even bigger.

[@trosencrantz]

@@rwarton1 Yeah, I was about to purchase this one you note but upon reviewing my controller, found this larger size noted, on the back. Glad I held off. DJI won't allow me to purchase the battery and... they have 1 company in Texas I believe that will do it, as a contracted service center. They can't tell me the name of the company nor how much it will cost. How sad is that!! I just have to send to this company and hope they won't gouge me. You'd think they would do it themselves, DJI.

[@rwarton1]

@@trosencrantz Here is another option which is what I do when my controller gets low or I know I'm going to fly more than what the controller battery will last. But instead of mounting my to my phone I have Velcro and mount it to the controller on the bottom between the two buttons. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXZgJmIeL59rtk

So glad to hear the video helped.

[@denniswelburn1869]

Thanks

[@trosencrantz]

Do you know if this is the same battery for the Mavic 2 Pro controller? Do you know if the replacement procedure is the same for the M2P controller? Thanks!

[@rwarton1]

Yes the procedure should be the same for the Mavic 2 Pro controller. I would need someone to verify though before a change the title of this video to include the Mavic 2 Pro controller. Thanks you for a great question. NOTE: The Mavic 2 Pro come with one of two controllers. The DJI smart controller with the built in screen would be completely different in the way you access the battery.

[@trosencrantz]

@@rwarton1 Which Ebay seller of this battery would you recommend?

[@rwarton1]

@@trosencrantz I've only purchased from eBayer 5_star_store so they are the only ones I can suggest. ebay.us/YHTFMX (Be aware I do not know this person personally and can only recommend them because the two batteries I ordered from them worked perfectly and shipped quickly.) Hope this helps.

[@trosencrantz]

@@rwarton1 Hi Rick, I may have a supplier to make these batteries for the M2P. Would you be able to measure the dimensions of the one battery that you took out? So I don't have to take my out, until it's needed. Perhaps you can email me this info and send a photo of what it looks like?

[@rwarton1]

@@trosencrantz Hey Tom, sorry but I do not have a battery available to measure at the moment. I would need to break down a controller and really don't want to that. :)

[@c.lvideofilms3958]

Please help need battery for mavic 2 controller. Please please

[@rwarton1]

The only thing I know you can do is purchase the battery that fits the Mavic pro 1 controller. From everything I've heard it fits and works in the Mavic pro 2 controller. The only difference is it is a few hundred mill-watts smaller than the original Mavic pro 2 controller battery but works fine.

[@c.lvideofilms3958]

Hello there kind sir, I would like to replace my dieing battery, but I don't see the batteries available anymore, what do I do? Do you have the batteries? Can I send the the controller into you?

[@rwarton1]

I'm sorry but I do not stock these batteries. I do not know of any other place to purchase these batteries except for the link in the comments. Since they are currently out of stock all I can suggest is to search the internet and see if you can find another supplier or a place that maybe you could send the controller and get the battery replaced. I've had several people tell me you can send your controller to someone and they will replace the battery and ship it back to you. But I'm sorry to say I do not have any information on where these places are. Hopefully the eBay seller of these batteries will get them back in stock soon. I'm sure this China virus is probably causing delays.

[@GeorgePrince]

@@rwarton1 Ok thank you very much, indeed the eBay seller is not able to sell these batteries at this time due to the outbreak.

[@walkabout16]

Did you not put the battery that you took out back in again? 🙄

[@rwarton1]

I had already replaced the battery a few days earlier so for this video I put the same battery back in since it was a new battery.

[@dannoren8547]

I bought new batteries (they came after 4 months ago) but they did not fit Mavic 2 RC1A controller. Too small and not the same contact. If anyone have a Mavic Pro controller as Rick Warton is showing then i have two batteries for sale. Unless I find a IoT project to use them in.

[@rwarton1]

Sorry to hear the batteries did not work on the Mavic 2 RC1A controller. Thank you for sharing the information with everyone. I would think if anyone needs a controller battery for a Mavic 1 controller, getting it from you would be much faster than ordering it from China which can take forever sometimes to receive. And with this China Virus issue, getting one from China right now will probably takes months.

thx dude !

You don't use screwdrivers to pry it open, you'll leave a lot of marks and even break the plastic frame. Besides that, thanks for showing how to install a new battery 👍I, personally, would use some other tools, but that's just, what I would do...

[@rwarton1]

Great point! But I have done it with a screw driver many times without causing damage. But if you have something that works better please share. Plastic and wood tools break and do not work well as we have tried.

[@mialarmacomcsi]

what the F.... could they make it a click in battery like every thing alse ??????

[@rwarton1]

Sorry Michael I don't mess with drones anymore since I was diagnosed with Parkinson disease. I promise you it's pretty easy to change the battery if you have the correct tools. If you do not have the tools I'm sure you can find someone local that could help you out.

[@mattim730]

They really didn't make this easy. My mavic 2 pro is year old and controller battery only last for one flight, then it is empty.

[@rwarton1]

That sucks! Battery should be good for at least 3 years. And to make things worse I don't know where you can get a battery for a Mavic 2 controller. Think all you can do is send it to DJI and they will replace the battery at premium price.

Loved my air suddenly decided to stop wor oth controller and drone, gutted and dji wont help one bit 20% of a mini se 😢 which amounts to be the same price and I have to send in my air for them to keep.
