What upsets me about DJI is you can still buy the Spark, NIB from online retailers. But batteries are no longer available. I have 2 Sparks, I have hundreds of flights on them and the batteries are going bad. My Sparks are like new, Never been crashed, they still take excellent videos and stills.

Folks, I almost wrote off my FOUR spark batteries for dead after I had not touched them for 2 years. They were totally unresponsive. They came to life on the THIRD mini USB cable I tried...and I also used a 3A USB wall charger instead of the standard 1A and 2A wall chargers that most are rated at. Use a 3A charger and try several USB cables. All four of my batteries came to life with that cable.
Do you have any idea what the cable was from? What adapter are you using? I am using the dji 3A adapter and cable that came with it. I get the 2 flashing lights but it won't charge and after like an hour the lights stop blinking. I also tried charging from a 3A battery pack with the dji cable and no luck. This spark was never even flown because it was a gift to my father and he never even tried it.
@@travispoulin252 no usb cable will get rid of permeant fail and SS hardware failure....it must have been a coincident and batteries he had where in hibernation mode
Yup, I'm noy sure about thecables but maybe higher queality cables would help make the charge work better. I bought a bunch of Spark drones and various other DJI drones including video equipment at reasonable deals to resell at Xmas. Unfortunally, I was hospitalized for a period of time and finally got better but by the time I dug out the drones it was 2 years later and a lot of batteries that felt like they werte to be paperweights. However, after reading some responses from people using higher voltage and different types of chargers it reminded me of the DeWalt solution. Where, I forced higher voltage into my dewalt batteries for a short period to make them work again. So, I tried using my son’s RC car lipo plus multi-charger (that has veariable settings for different types of batteries) and connected it to the Spark battery. After like 15-20 minutes it forced voltage or a charge into it and basically broke the lock on the “Hybernation” that went below and beyond the help of a regular charge from a DJI charger. But once you do it you can go back to using the DJI chargers like you did when you were flying and using them regularly. Remember, when you store a drone it’s advised to charge the batteries up to a 100%. DJI has made these batteries “smart” so they discharge over a 10 day period to something like 65-70% to prevent swelling. But if you don’t charge them every month or so they’ll continue to discharge little by little. Then, hopefully you’re not like me you finding yourself a couple years later with near 30 batteries that are bricks. Though, you will need to jury rig a connection but Roy’s pin out for the battery is correct so go by that. It’s an easier method which is not costly and simple to do basically. If it doesn’t work for you than go onto more “involved” methods. But either way it’ll be easier for you bto do it for a few batteries than having to do it to 30 batteries, one by one… I got them all working except for one that is only holding an 60% charge… Good luck. Try this method before blowing money on unnecessary stuff…
I have two dead batteries - both have LEDs 1 & 2 flash 4 times when I try to charge them, but no other activity. If these things didn't cost $100 now, I would just buy new ones! I hooked up a CP2112 and a 12VDC 2A power supply per the pinout. I can immediately read from the chip and initially when I plug it in, the voltages look LOW, but they're there. I unseal it and clear the faults But instead of doing any charging, the cell voltages just slowly drop. It's gotten as low as 900Mah per cell before I stopped. But the weird thing is that when I disconnect and reconnect it, the cells start back up around 1400mAh. I'm baffled. Are they BOTH internally shorted, but not enough to actually kill them, or am I just doing something wrong?
I like that it was a real time video. Realistically, you could have made this 10-15 minutes, but you gave your audience a real sense of how long it takes to wake up and repair one of these batteries. Where can you get the software for the ev2300 module, and how much does it cost?

Hi Roy, I´m from Ecuador and thanks for your video, I have three spark dead batteries and made all your procedure to wake up de batteries since I have locked the software to unseal de battery... I´ve been trying with TI Battery Managment software but without success!!, can you give some advise.... I am a new in drones...
Olá amigo como faço para.adquirir o software para reparar a bateria do DJI mine 2 vx sabe que possa me ajudar? Já tentei em vários lugares aqui na rede de Internet tento baixar o TRB mas não consigo me ajude por favor😮 Aguardo seu contato
after watiching this vid i ended up throwing away the spark and its battery 😁 hell no i can do what you did to revive the battery. the equipments you have alone costs 300 usd
Hi there. I’m in the UK with a similar problem on two of my Phantom 4 batteries. I’ve checked your video page and it looks like you didn’t cover a repair of P4 Li-Po’s on your channel? I’d be real interested to know if you’ve tried this process on a P4 battery, and if you made a video of it? Great work though, and a refreshing break from the “I’ve fixed it but can’t show you how” videos that litter TH-cam!!
P4 can be done, not as easy as some, DJI glued the caps on, so some times they break, and also the solder points or gold dots are very delicate to solder to, and can rip off easy if your not carful
Don't suppose you know any reason why sports mode and the intelligent flight modes would not be working on a Spark do you? tried modding fw and using go mod and still no dice. i'm not sure from a technical perspective why they would no longer work (ie something broken inside unit or something?!)
I wondered if you might be willing to help me out? I have 4 batteries for the spark that all died from sadly not knowing how to store them properly. I have purchased both the cp2112 and the ev2400 and attempted to read them with TRP/battery killer but all 4 batteries have no communication with the PC whatsoever. same symptoms with them all. any ideas? I purchased a CP240 duo based on your recommendation and attempted to follow the same steps, the batteries light up with no charge light pattern but just dont comm seemingly no matter what. Any advice?
cp2112 only works with batkiller, trb has to be paid for, the wireing has to match the pins, i wouid have to see pictures, caz once you can comm, i can tell you steps, i need voltage of each battery cell, then i know steps
I have a mavic air bought it 2018 flown it with one battery the other never been use but charged three of them after unboxing then stored maybe 2 years then after the storage I took it for firmware update after charging the three batteries on the charging hub two batteries were completely charge except for one so I charge it by itself direct from the charging unit not the hub nothing happens push the button several times no lights on the indicator so can I send you the battery to be repaired and how much and where to send it.....thanks
hi , sorry but the what is TRB 2300 ? is a programmable chip batteries? if it so ...where i can found(buy) it?...i have the problem that you show on my SBATTERIES SPARK...THANKS
No you can find videos on it I can actually charge the battery to complete 4.2 V and it still would not the brain Hass to be reset if it was that easy everybody would do it
Hi, I'm in Australia and have 3 Spark batteries that have been sitting discharged for a year or so now. When trying to charge them in my spark I get the first 2 light flashing for 4 flashes then a pause and then 4 flashes then pause ongoing forever. When I remove the battery and press the button nothing happens. Is this something you may be able to repair for me or if I bought this EV2300 device would it allow me to look at fixing them as you did. I notice there is a EV2400 device, is this an updated model from Texas Instruments? Regards, Brent
probably fixing yourself would be better, the cost of shipping to me would be more than finding 3 used batteries, but true i think DJI will be discontinuing the spark parts....yes the ev2300-2400 work....but you need to purchase the software to read and reset the problems, i can tell you from experience if the cells went below 1.0 volts, they are dead.....but above that they can be save....but the sleep mode is activated just after 3.0 volts, thats why i can revive them.. but you need to reset the SS and PF on the board, you can even take apart and charge each battery to 3.8 and still wont wake up....hope this helps
I have 5 spark batteries that have been in storage and now will not charge. Since they have doubled in price I cannot justify buying new batteries. What would suggest I do? These batteries probably have less than 5 flights on them. Storage time was almost 2 years. Thanks

Great video and software; amazing work!! Got my spark batteries charging again with the EV2300/EV2400, C240 and the TRB-2300 software :) Was initially wondering if the drivers for EV2300/EV2400 worked on Win11 but it was all good :)
Thanks for the vid - are you able to connect to a DJI Mavic Air battery. I have 3 that have been sitting in my closet for about a year unfortunately. - Thomas
I've got a Mavic Air (original) battery that I ran down and now won't charge or show any LED. I've tried leaving it on the charger overnight, but I think it went into permanent fail mode. Have you tried restoring these?
Hey - Great Job! I have three Spark batteries that are dead and not charging. Can I ship them to you to repair these? Thanks a lot for your work. I don't want to buy extra expensive batteries.
Do you know what the BMS Chip number is for the spark, I bought an EV2300 but the drivers are giving me hell & TRB cant find the adaptor.. Trying battery Managment BQ studio too, That gives a list of BMS chip sets but I dont know which one.. Pulling out old pre Windows 11 laptops and trying to problem solve.
Yeah I wouldn’t updated to Windows 11 it kind of messes with everything you own cause there’s no drivers typically out there even for printers I don’t know the chipset offset in my head I work on too many of these batteries but if I remember next week I will
Figured out the issue. It was the firmware on the EV2300. I bought a cheap one off ebay from China. You can't hardcode one unless you have a second EV2300 to do it. Patrick from Patboon.labs was really helpful. We set up a Virtual box in Win 10 to load Win XP. Patch the Ev and then killed the Virtual box to load the firmware.up to Win 7 which TRB recognised. Revived my 3 batteries that had been dormant for 2 years.
Your video was very helpful and showed me what I needed to do. The batteries will last a long time dormant. You just need to free the from the PF (permanent fail). Mine were all in the high 2800mA range even after being dormant for years. Many thanks for taking the time to record it..

@@CRUZROYHelicopters why will it discharge it. As i observed your connections.. you hook up 3 pins to Clock, negative right side and Data for the software.

@@CRUZROYHelicopters I sent you an email to do my repair!
Hi Roy, I´m from Ecuador and thanks for your video, I have three spark dead batteries and made all your procedure to wake up de batteries since I have locked the software to unseal de battery... I´ve been trying with TI Battery Managment software but without success!!, can you give some advise.... I am a new in drones...
Are you still repairing spark batteries? I have 2 that have been stored and won’t charge, thanks
Olá amigo como faço para.adquirir o software para reparar a bateria do DJI mine 2 vx sabe que possa me ajudar? Já tentei em vários lugares aqui na rede de Internet tento baixar o TRB mas não consigo me ajude por favor😮
Aguardo seu contato
Great job 👍
What cells do they use inside? Is it possible to find them?
after watiching this vid i ended up throwing away the spark and its battery 😁 hell no i can do what you did to revive the battery. the equipments you have alone costs 300 usd
bq9003 ( mavic 3 battery ) useful ?
good job, 👍👍not bad brother
Hi, Can you use Texas Instrument's BQStudio battery management software instead of the pricey TRB software ?
pm me on FB ill talk
I am also curious about this
@@CRUZROYHelicopters Roy. can you give the answer here so others could know, what's there to talk about?!@
Hi there. I’m in the UK with a similar problem on two of my Phantom 4 batteries. I’ve checked your video page and it looks like you didn’t cover a repair of P4 Li-Po’s on your channel?
I’d be real interested to know if you’ve tried this process on a P4 battery, and if you made a video of it?
Great work though, and a refreshing break from the “I’ve fixed it but can’t show you how” videos that litter TH-cam!!
P4 can be done, not as easy as some, DJI glued the caps on, so some times they break, and also the solder points or gold dots are very delicate to solder to, and can rip off easy if your not carful
Don't suppose you know any reason why sports mode and the intelligent flight modes would not be working on a Spark do you? tried modding fw and using go mod and still no dice. i'm not sure from a technical perspective why they would no longer work (ie something broken inside unit or something?!)
I wondered if you might be willing to help me out? I have 4 batteries for the spark that all died from sadly not knowing how to store them properly. I have purchased both the cp2112 and the ev2400 and attempted to read them with TRP/battery killer but all 4 batteries have no communication with the PC whatsoever. same symptoms with them all. any ideas? I purchased a CP240 duo based on your recommendation and attempted to follow the same steps, the batteries light up with no charge light pattern but just dont comm seemingly no matter what. Any advice?
whatch new video...and let me know th-cam.com/video/Z37JgBw59P4/w-d-xo.html
you have to have the cp2112 wired right
cp2112 only works with batkiller, trb has to be paid for, the wireing has to match the pins, i wouid have to see pictures, caz once you can comm, i can tell you steps, i need voltage of each battery cell, then i know steps
I have a mavic air bought it 2018 flown it with one battery the other never been use but charged three of them after unboxing then stored maybe 2 years then after the storage I took it for firmware update after charging the three batteries on the charging hub two batteries were completely charge except for one so I charge it by itself direct from the charging unit not the hub nothing happens push the button several times no lights on the indicator so can I send you the battery to be repaired and how much and where to send it.....thanks
hi , sorry but the what is TRB 2300 ? is a programmable chip batteries? if it so ...where i can found(buy) it?...i have the problem that you show on my SBATTERIES SPARK...THANKS
trbwiki.patboonlab.co
I would be curious if you just jumpstart it with the power supply, if it will come back to life, no trb communication?
No you can find videos on it I can actually charge the battery to complete 4.2 V and it still would not the brain Hass to be reset if it was that easy everybody would do it
@@CRUZROYHelicopters Thanks, another reason to hate DJI, like I did not have enough already, lol.
Hi,
I'm in Australia and have 3 Spark batteries that have been sitting discharged for a year or so now. When trying to charge them in my spark I get the first 2 light flashing for 4 flashes then a pause and then 4 flashes then pause ongoing forever. When I remove the battery and press the button nothing happens.
Is this something you may be able to repair for me or if I bought this EV2300 device would it allow me to look at fixing them as you did. I notice there is a EV2400 device, is this an updated model from Texas Instruments?
Regards,
Brent
probably fixing yourself would be better, the cost of shipping to me would be more than finding 3 used batteries, but true i think DJI will be discontinuing the spark parts....yes the ev2300-2400 work....but you need to purchase the software to read and reset the problems, i can tell you from experience if the cells went below 1.0 volts, they are dead.....but above that they can be save....but the sleep mode is activated just after 3.0 volts, thats why i can revive them.. but you need to reset the SS and PF on the board, you can even take apart and charge each battery to 3.8 and still wont wake up....hope this helps
Can you fix my batteries? What’s your email? Mine sat in storage for a year when we sold our house. Only used once
@@CSAAdventures where are you and email i will give you info
I just sent you an email re: repairing a few spark batteries.
I have 5 spark batteries that have been in storage and now will not charge. Since they have doubled in price I cannot justify buying new batteries. What would suggest I do? These batteries probably have less than 5 flights on them. Storage time was almost 2 years. Thanks
If they are repairable I fix for 25 $ each. And you pay shipping both ways
Amazing work.. now do you do these for people - cause I don't want to go buy the stuff to do it on my end.. that said, glad there is a solution to fixing this horrible environmental e-waste problem.. and no secondary mfg batteries.
Yes I repair
@@CRUZROYHelicopters Guess it's time to find a box to ship to you then to get started :) - sent you an email.

I ended up buying a b6 IMAX v2 and the debug board, have 3 dead batteries and going away next month
Only used my spark a handful of times
Stupid charger keeps saying cell voltage not matching
I'm charging directly on the cells too
Don't know how to bypass this

Do you know what the BMS Chip number is for the spark, I bought an EV2300 but the drivers are giving me hell & TRB cant find the adaptor.. Trying battery Managment BQ studio too, That gives a list of BMS chip sets but I dont know which one.. Pulling out old pre Windows 11 laptops and trying to problem solve.
Trying Windows Vista, hopefully I can get the drivers to work so the SW can recognise the Adaptor.
Yeah I wouldn’t updated to Windows 11 it kind of messes with everything you own cause there’s no drivers typically out there even for printers I don’t know the chipset offset in my head I work on too many of these batteries but if I remember next week I will
Figured out the issue. It was the firmware on the EV2300. I bought a cheap one off ebay from China. You can't hardcode one unless you have a second EV2300 to do it. Patrick from Patboon.labs was really helpful. We set up a Virtual box in Win 10 to load Win XP. Patch the Ev and then killed the Virtual box to load the firmware.up to Win 7 which TRB recognised. Revived my 3 batteries that had been dormant for 2 years.
Your video was very helpful and showed me what I needed to do. The batteries will last a long time dormant. You just need to free the from the PF (permanent fail). Mine were all in the high 2800mA range even after being dormant for years. Many thanks for taking the time to record it..
Can you do this with the free version of TRB?
no, advanced DJI lic
I need this done on 3 of my Ronin M batteries :/
This is amazing! I have 2 batteries that wont charge. It seems you do fix batteries for others also. Can you help me here (I have 2 batteries that were in storage for 2+ years and now it wont charge)

@@CRUZROYHelicopters may be i can try this first. I have this trickle charger that i use for my RC. But it doesn’t have the option for Digital power.
Can i use the lipo charge option to jump start it at 1amp?
So the black wire goes to negative next to C and the red wire to left Positive on the battery?
@@popitn2nd if you try to charge it will discharge more, send me your email privately, the bms is in SS and PF
@@CRUZROYHelicopters why will it discharge it. As i observed your connections.. you hook up 3 pins to Clock, negative right side and Data for the software. Then for the trickle charger.. you pin to negative and positive at 1amp set to 11.4v to charge. Since i don’t have the software to look at the data. I will try and pin left side negative and left side power andI set to lipo 3s 11.4v @ 1amp to charge it. Is this wrong?
