Back to overview

I'm trying to mod/recreate the DJI FPV battery to use regular 6S lipo batteries. In a first attempt I try to replace the lipo cells.

Battery Breakout Board Rev.1

Just a little teaser ...
(Don't judge me to hard, it's my first PCB...)

But before rev1 is fully assembled, rev1.1 is already in the planning stage.

Just a quick update

I soldered all the components of my first test onto a perfboard. The display shows the voltage [V] and the current [mA]. Instead of the percentage, the glasses show the voltage (10x). Big and ugly, but it does the job. After some more tests and improvements I will design a PCB.
Nailed it!

With this modification, any 6s Lipo battery can be used without any modifications/hacks of the drone. Full compatibility with the original batteries is retained. I set the battery percentage to a random number that changes every second just for demonstration purposes.

Details coming soon...
