❣❣ Thank you Jacques! I have four Spark batteries that went flat like yours. Exactly like you've mentioned in your opening, most other videos yammer annoyingly on and on without actual instruction, yours is the absolute best!!
Excellent - thanks, Jacques. All three of my Spark batteries are now happily charging. For clarity, Pin 1 is clock and goes to the SCL pin on the CP2112. Pin 6 is data and goes to SDA on the CP2112. The batteries were so flat they needed additional power to enable the CP2112 to read them - in my case I initially tried a 9V power supply but it didn't provide enough grunt, so instead with the jumper wires still attached I pushed the battery into the DJI charger - ugly, and needed to press fairly hard (trying not to press too hard, to avoid damaging the pins on the charger), but it worked. The version of battery killer I have also provides three options - BQ9003 worked for me with the process being Read Info, Unseal, Clear PF, Clear PF2, Reset Chip. Just need to watch the screen - if there are errors (for example due to the CP2112 losing connection) just try again from the start.
Hey mate, just another thank you from Australia.. saved me having to buy new batteries! and thanks to someone in the comments that said to do the power with a 9V battery, worked a treat!
Thank you so very much for your Clear explaination & coverage in how to rescue my Spark battery showing the same issue as you clearly described. The best instruction by far. 10/10 Many Thanks
Where did you download your software from? I see many people talking about having virus warnings come up when they try to download their software. I have a brand-new PC build, and I do not need any troublesome software on it. Thank you for the video, Liked and subbed
Thanks man , but i got an issue when i try read info i get this code ERROR: Could not perform SMBus read 0x00 can you tell me what i should do please , thanks
got my dji mini 2 to start charging again. Most important was version of DJI Battery Killer software compiled 13.06.2021so that I could unseal and clear PF2
I tried this on a Spark battery and it worked. At first I tried using a 9V battery, but when I tried that I got the error message "could not perform smbus read 0x00", presumably because the battery didn't give enough current. I then switched to a 9V power supply from a bluetooth speaker and that worked wonders. Now my battery charges without issue
I did this using a brand new 9v battery as the power supply. Worked great! Just sayin. Sadly it's been a few years since I flew my drone and thats why the batteries were dead in hibernation. The DJI GO 4 app I use to fly the Spark is not supported on any iOS phones after iPhoneX. The app was super Wonky on my 15 Pro Max and I could never really get back in the air comfortably. Ended up buying a newer drone in the long run
Hi thank you for the video. This method works for my Spark battery. However not on my mavic pro battery. Do you know any other way to do it? I keep getting this error from the software "Could not perform SMBus read 0x00"
I've done some research and found that it should work with an arduino as long as you're really good at programming them and manage to make the DJI Battery Killer software see it as a CP2112. As far as I can tell no one has published any code for that, so I recommend using a CP2112
Super bummed, after getting all the items necessary unable to repair 4 DJI Spark batteries. With all four batteries I get the same error message "ERROR: Could not perform SMBus read 0x00" when attempting to read info, even with the use of an external power supply providing a constant 10V of power.
th-cam.com/video/-Af5LyQaYJo/w-d-xo.html You need to be in the region of about 10.5v MINIMUM collectively. So it will be at 3.5v each. Battery killer will more often than not fail to clear the PF if each cell is below 3.5v each. Also, its better to charge the battery at about 12.5 volts, up until each cell is 3.6v. This will at least give an idea if cells are ok and at least holding a charge
please be careful this video will only work with batteries are at 2500-2700 ,because the minute he reset chip voltage was 3400.. and these where close to balance, there are 2 errors you can get, PF, and ss, pf means it just in hibernation, SS means its out of balance, it wont work this ease if you have both SS and PF , and if both a in data, charging will mostly discharge instead of charge, the worst error you can get is 2nd light in blinking while charging
Hi, it seems that I have/had both errors. The PF could be solved but the battery is still not charging and 'SS" is marked red. Any idea how to solve the 'SS' error? Thank you!
I am getting the same error as you. I have tried multiple cables, USB ports in the PC, and gave the battery external power. Has anyone figured this out?
@@Fr1tzy i downloaded battery killer ver 0.5 beta2 which has a tab for cp2112 connection which can tell you if your computer connects to the cp2112 or not.
Got the same error on my PC and doublechecked everything... Then I tried on a Notebook and it worked instantly. My PC didn't want to Work with the CP2112 Board. Now I have following error: ERROR: Could not perform SMBus read 0x00 Any ideas? 9V battery doesn't work.
I used a 12v power adapter. I inserted one lead into the center of the adapter prong and taped another around the outside then taped it together. Not a permanent solution, but I only needed it for 3 batteries.@@limbotachyon
I made the connection and connected its charger together and was able to restore one, but my other battery recognizes it and reset its parameters with the software but it still does not turn on its LEDs or charge, what could it be? Is there any way to also know the battery chip? is for mavic 2 pro and the battery model is FB2, thank...

How did you get 3 options? Mine currently isn’t reading the battery and I tried it on a working battery, still so signal
@@CireWPTry a different USB cable. It needs to be able to transmit data
Thank you for the excellent video! My son and I revived a “dead” Spark battery following your instructions and it worked great.
Thanks for this video! I just received my board and revived 3 batteries with your instructions!
Hey mate, just another thank you from Australia.. saved me having to buy new batteries! and thanks to someone in the comments that said to do the power with a 9V battery, worked a treat!
where did you find spark's batteries to buy?
@@seberlis aliexpress, always a bit of a gamble though
Thank you so very much for your Clear explaination & coverage in how to rescue my Spark battery showing the same issue as you clearly described. The best instruction by far. 10/10 Many Thanks
Just followed these instructions with a 9volt battery and it works! Fixed two spark batteries. Thank you so much!!
Im waiting for my cp2112 to arrive and try this
Did u use an adapter with 9volt battery then straight up connectted it to the spark battery?
Does the module come with cables from the video?
Hi, drop box link does not work in bio do you have another link for it? Thankyou
Very clear and concise instructions, Thank you!
Thank you sir. Worked like a charm
Thanks man, worked like a charm! Batteries now loading again!
i have this problem...Could not perform SMBus read 0x00...pls advise me sir what to do?

Thanks so much for this! Just ordered the cp2112 now so looking forward to fixing it.
Any update on the fix?
Hello
Do you repair batteries if sent to you ? What would you charge for a spark, where are you based ?
How do you make the leads?
The download link does not seem to be working. Please help.
finally i've got the download software thank you very much your video was brilliant for your help

Your wires not connected correctly
worked great for me
This worked for me, thank you very much for the guidance!
hi! thanks a lot for your video. can you share the mac os version of the software with me please? thanks in advance

Can you tell me on the mini 3 pro which contacts need to be connected?
The link please ????
Good evening, do you have the schematic for DJI Min 2?
Hi, where can i get the Dji Battery killer software?
这个模块,使用前一定要小心, 最大 5.6v 会烧掉,做个前置保护,万事无忧.
serve para a bateria do dji p4 ?
Hi thank you for the video. This method works for my Spark battery. However not on my mavic pro battery. Do you know any other way to do it? I keep getting this error from the software "Could not perform SMBus read 0x00"
slightly different procedure for the Mavic and Phantom batteries
hi, can i use a arduino uno instead of cp2112?
I've done some research and found that it should work with an arduino as long as you're really good at programming them and manage to make the DJI Battery Killer software see it as a CP2112. As far as I can tell no one has published any code for that, so I recommend using a CP2112
does it have to 9 to 10 V
Awesome tutorial, thank you
Does the software run under win10 or only win11?
Super bummed, after getting all the items necessary unable to repair 4 DJI Spark batteries. With all four batteries I get the same error message "ERROR: Could not perform SMBus read 0x00" when attempting to read info, even with the use of an external power supply providing a constant 10V of power.

@@AshrafRogers Thanks for the response, I will give this another try.
Your wires are not connected correctly
I’ve tried this with the software, but I don’t have anything similar to your power supply. How can I ship my three batteries to you from Canada?
Buy this man a bells!!!!
does that work
got a small problem here. I do all the steps and once im done, it still blinks 4 times with the 2 led's and turns off.
getting error could not perform smbus read 0x00 after connected connecting battery device
The same thing happens to me with the battery, I did everything the same as in the video, but it didn't work. The loading sequence remained the same.
Hello. There is the same application but it runs under Win 7.
I have 2 Spark batteries that no longer charge.
Thank you for the video and freat tut but please do us Rush fans a favor and call the board a CP "twenty one twelve" 😄

Anyone have a working link to DJI battery killer please ?
Can you please correct the download links, they have been truncated with "..." and so do not work.

@@blacksmithz05 hi, did you respond to my comment? If so, I am very sorry but I don’t understand what you mean :(
@cruzroy, any idea what I can do to solve the „SS“ issue? Thanks!
Any input fit this question?
ss would require opening the battery and manually recharging all cells to balance.
I'm keep getting ERROR: Could not open device in the software. any idea? thanks.

the link to dropbox doesnot work
I think I translated it wrong (I'm French)
the DJI Battery Killer software doesn't work on my Windows 7 computer, I have another one but it's an Imac
I think we all know why DJI brought that feature into their batteries: $$$
Did not work for me, battery still doing the 1 and 2 lights blinking 4 times. Anyone have the same experience? Thank you all
Finally got fixed after trying about 12 times. Thank you Sir! Very clear walktrough and instructions
dropbox is not working.
Can be used also for Phantom 4 batteries, instead of Texas Instruments EV2300? TNKS
Just saved 3 DJI spark batteries.
What did you use as a power source?
I used a 12v power adapter. I inserted one lead into the center of the adapter prong and taped another around the outside then taped it together. Not a permanent solution, but I only needed it for 3 batteries.@@limbotachyon
how to edit the full charge capacity? pls help
