Great job! Best ROG Ally battery IMO, no need to butcher the backplate. The loss of the screw does sting a little, but it's far from an issue.

[@ksrnate]

@@ezg8448 It can actually be done so the screw can be used but it's more modding! If you remove the PCB from the cells completely some of the board can be trimmed so it can be lowered enough to put the screw in. It's just more work but definitely possible

Why couldn’t Asus just make a 100w battery. They have the technology. I think they deliberately made a smaller battery for the OG ally just so people would want to buy the ally X

[@ksrnate]

@@NoonMight Your most probably right! The first time I saw the ally battery I really didn't understand why it was so small when there's so much room. They could have fit an even bigger battery than this in there if the PCB was mounted above it horizontally. But what do we know 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@astven94]

regulation. they can but it doesn't mean they can do anything. you will never see any portable device that goes above 100w. since then max capacity that you can bring to airplane is 100w. Even if they did that they will lose some several target market because 'they can't even travel with their device'.

[@ksrnate]

@@astven94 That's true! But they could fit 90wh in the ally no problem. I've already made a 99wh battery for it with not much modification to the back plate

Great vid ....hopefully we can get an update on this in the future

[@bastardgoose]

Oof metal blades and lithium cells usually don't get along, but I'm glad it worked out

[@IBMWxM3xGTRI]

First of all, thank you very much for your tutorial. I love modifications like this! I happened to have a defective Zenbok UX363JA with exactly the same battery model left over and I got to work straight away. However, I noticed that my BMS was slightly different from yours. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was the size of the cells. My cells are 47mm wide. In the Ally, however, the cells can only be a maximum of 45mm wide. So the used battery is unfortunately out of the question. What a pity! As for my battery, it is a C41N1904 15.48V with 67Wh, so it should actually be identical.

[@ksrnate]

@@IBMWxM3xGTRI Hi and thank you ! Yes the different batteries from different suppliers are coming with bigger cells unfortunately we are finding this out as people do the mod, so far my link I have provided is good and there is one more link to a battery on Amazon that fits but yet to see it working. Are you in the UK?

[@IBMWxM3xGTRI]

@@ksrnate Seems so. My battery is original from Asus. It would be interesting to see which suppliers all fit into the ally. I also don't want to buy another battery that might not fit again. No, I come from Germany.

So just need to flip the wire connector and it will be ok? Regarding that top-center screw, as u already used 4 wires to re-arrange 2 battery cells, I think we can use 8 wires to connect all cells and rotate the battery board horizontally.

[@ksrnate]

It won't fit that way I measured which is a shame. You could use 8 wires and lower the board, the bottom of the board is ok to be cut down as there is no chips just plain board. That way you could use the screw but is a lot more work for just 1 screw to go back in 👍🏻

@@redline7496 All the ally's I've done so far have had no more than 35wh due to degradation. 35wh to 67 is a bit more than 50% if it's not worth it for you then don't waste your time 👍🏻

[@atmphil1]

how about you 3d print a bigger back cover so you don't have to cut or grind nothing make one with bigger grips or something like that or you can just make it slightly taller to fit a bigger battery. if you 3D print a bigger back you can put a bigger battery and have the thing side ways so you can have bigger SSD card. bigger back cover will latterly fix all the problems.

[@ksrnate]

@@atmphil1 It's not really worth it, the bits you cut don't change the thickness of the back plate they are just bits that stick out to go around the stock battery and it only takes 5 minutes to do 👍🏻 this new battery is same 10mm thickness as the stock you see 👍🏻

[@atmphil1]

@@ksrnate what im saying is with bigger back cover you can have bigger battery and you can use all the screws and the pcb can go sideways so you can use bigger ssd.

[@ksrnate]

@@atmphil1 Well yeh of course you can use a bigger battery with a bigger back plate but to keep it stock looking this is the way. It would be nice if we didn't have to snip any plastic at all but it's worth it. I can actually move the PCB down a bit to put the screw back in but is more work and I don't really care about that screw to be honest

Yeh that's one downside to the mod, I can't see a way to use the 2280. If you mounted it in vertically it may be able to fit under the battery but I'm not 100% on that. I might even try it because I've mounted a 2280 this way before 👍🏻
