    this sounds so doable and the other third party battery that was $500 sounds over priced. As an electronic engineer im sure I can come up with a circuit and 3d printed case to make at all work at a much lower price level. Thanks for the info. Did you ever finish this project? Maybe ill check you other videos

      I just got one of these. Did you ever embark on making the case?
      One idea I have is to make a case that can house 18650s kind of like a tv remote does, with cylindrical holes and contact pads to wire them up in series.
      It’d be alright because the drone draws max like 15A. Then, you could just charge/swap 18650s using a single battery frame all day

    Always nice to see fpv guys puzzle over these kind of things. I did not change the battery but solder an external power supply because I prefer the GoPro over the on board cam and safe 60g weight.

    Hey. Thanks for this info. It's super helpful.
    Is the NewBee "Fly A Lot More" kit no longer available? I can't find it anywhere online at the moment.
    I'm looking into emulating the CANbus communication between the battery and the drone so I can make my own batteries, but I would be very interested in seeing how NewBee did it. If I could buy their board and use my own batteries, that would be ideal. Thanks again. 👍

  • @KAREKINFPV
    @KAREKINFPV 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't feel like an additional 600mah would make that much of a difference. Also lithium ion needs programing in the FC to take advantage of the lower cut off voltage. WTF.FPV might have this problem solved but I'm not sure.

    Any extra weight is going to make the drone work harder. Anything that throws off the center of gravity will make the drone work harder. In other words any mods may actually decrease battery efficiency. I would trust the engineers who built it.

    • @Przemo-c
      @Przemo-c 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Given flight dynamics you can shift COG depending on your how you fly. Middle of the road solutions work only for those that keep things middle of the road. COG and COT don't need to be in the same spot. In fact rear props usually have dirtier air when flying forward making them work harder even if COG is alighned. Trusting engineers is all fine and well if your priorities and constraints are the same as said engineers. If you look at how racers or freestylers build their drones you'll see that DJI FPV is underpowered, heavy, not well tuned not to mention easy to break and hard to repair compared to even BNF drones let alone custom ones. Hell even cinelifters put more emphasis on power to weight.
      I'm not saying DJI doesn't know how to make drones. Their props are quite efficient and their RTH functionality as well as video link are pretty great. But either their expertise doesn't translate well to more fun FPV or their sets of priorities are different. So trusting the engineers should go only so far.
      Some will want a bigger battery with less voltage sag and more flight time. Some will want to put smaller batteries sacrificing flight time for better flying experience. And even if you just match the stock weight and weight distribution you'll end up with ability to use top of the line LiPo's at fraction of the cost.
