Hi Zolly. I just discovered your channel while doing some research on DJI products. I don't own one (yet) but I have reasons to do so anyway. I don't like greedy companies who stole someone's IP in the first place... One composite question: Have you logged the data communication between the drone and the battery? Is it encrypted? If not: how is the battery ID communicated? In the clear? What protocol is used? 🤔 Without having had a look at this myself it should be fairly easy to make a clowned (🤡) battery PCB so I suspect the data stream is encrypted, right? Nevertheless this I see as an interesting challenge... Have you looked into the possibility to reshape the battery compartment to accommodate larger LiPo cells internally? This would be a great mod but will of course demand some plastic hacking. My favorite! 😂 I'm looking at eventually get a Mavic Air2s to attempt a rather brutal 'hack' and in the end make it fully 'Open Source' - but I haven't decided yet if it's worth the effort or not - and it would be a community project, not a solo flight operation. (I have developed some drone flight software, both fixed wing and single / multi rotor copter, and won first and second price in an international challenge back in 2009 so I have a little experience with miscellaneous flying crap. But gasoline powered). I recently did a similar thing - hacking, extracting firmware and so on, for another well known Snapdragon based product with TrustZone active and all tamper fuses set. Nasty thing to do, setting those fuses... 😉
I have a mavic 2 pro, I removed the bloated battery and disconnected it with the battery circuit. I added new lithium batteries now the circuit doesnt works. Can your method work on my mavic 2 pro? Or is there any other way?
Hi! I would love to test it, but I do not have access to a Mavic 2 Pro... I believe it is possible to hack it in similar way. I am working now on a Mini 2 and it is working too. The code has to be changed for the microcontroller. So I think with a yet again changed code it could work with your drone too. If you have any good idea where could I borrow a Mavic 2 Pro (as I can not buy all the drones there is) I am happy to dive into it! :)
@@ZollyD I am also interested in this, quadrocopters and experiments, if you do not mind here is my mail dodgiosif@icloud.com, write, I also set up experiments
Hi friend thanks for your information Please how can I make one like this for mavic pro . Can you tell me with materials If you don’t have mind . Because mavic pro battery is deference I’m waiting for your answer with regard.
Hi! It helps to fly the drone with a locked battery pack. It fools the drone to accept the locked battery. If you watch my other videos on the subject in the sequence as they were published it WILL be all clear. Thanks for watching! :)
Oh yes, my Email is on the about tab. Others found it. I don´t want to type it here cause I don´t want any bot to pick it up and fill my inbox with trash. So go to my channel. About tab on the far right in the top menu. Details: For business inquiries: and click in VIEW EMAIL ADDRESS.
I've been waiting for a similar serie for a long time, great job!
Thanks! I´m happy that you liked it! :)
Will such a hack work for mini 2? With a mini 1 battery and this controller? Thanks, great content!
Yes, it will. I am yet to post a video on that...🙃
@@ZollyD awesome!

Hi. Yes it is encrypted. As I know it uses SHA 256 which sound way overkill, but hey, it is just a protocol, so why not. 😅
Do you sell them
So good for the future of this drone.
Can you do it for me but my is faith mini
Thanks ZOLLY,i am jay from Hong Kong.
You're welcome! :) Stay tuned for more from Hungary! ;)

@@ZollyD come to me, I have all the drones and a workshop, you can carry out your experiments
@@DODG-Dji-mavic haha. I would love to. 😉

I have not tried it with a Mavic Pro. Maybe in the future, if I get my hand on one... :)
What firmware you used on the drone?
I think it was 005
Thanks from Vietnam.
You are welcome! :)
Can I ask what the advantage of doing this over using a standard dji battery.
Nothing! This is a method to revive a dead DJI battery!
Please make to a dji spark
I don’t know what just happened. What this does to the drone?

Is there any one available to help me
Great job could you do the mavic air 2 battery mod
I would need an Air 2 for that first.. :) Once I put my hands on it I will do my best! :)
It's great...
I have a problem with mavic mini battery
Can you help me?
How i can show you
Do you have Facebook?
Thanks! You can send me an E-mail- My address is in the About tab on my channel. I can see if I can help you.
@@ZollyD thanks but no email in your channel about tab
