- Heads up!! For those buying from alternative suppliers you could end up with cells physically too big and will not fit in the Ally!! If you can not buy from the link then that's the risk you take. Unfortunately for those in the US this seems to be the case but if anyone does find this exact battery elsewhere please mention it in the comments! 👍🏻
As promised to everyone in the group! I've done the best I could to make this video, I was a bit out of my comfort zone doing this but hopefully it was worth it. Here is the link for the battery...
www.ebay.co.uk...
GOOD LUCK!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Some extra information about this battery....
Upon testing this extensively over the past few weeks I have charging results. the 40wh original ally battery charged at around 45w when the ally was switched off taking it about 50 minutes to reach 80% then trickle it's way to 100% in about 1 hour 45 minutes. This 67wh battery will charge at a full 65w with the ally switched off which only takes it 1 hour to charge to 90% then trickle it's way to 100% in about 1 hour 30 minutes!! This is due to the design capacity and charge rate programmed into the pcd board which was originally intended for the Asus zenbook, that also charges at 65w. Honestly this is a match made in heaven and I honestly doubt there is a more suited battery for the ally than this. I've bought and taken apart a few batteries now including the stock ally battery so this has been an expensive journey for me but so worth it!
Now obviously your doing this mod at your own risk! I'm already aware of some batteries coming slightly different to the one I have with the board being backwards and the wires being on the back side to mine. the wiring is still the same I believe but triple check where your positive and negative wires are before you plug this in! it could be an easy mistake to get these the wrong way around!! I didn't force anyone to do this mod so if you break something don't blame me!!! Do at your own risk!!!
I'm waiting for a company to make a larger battery. There's money to be made here. Why haven't a battery company fill that void already....
@@cletp758 Your absolutely right but it's been so long now I doubt it'll happen, plus the X is out now. I've mentioned in a few places I will make some more of these to post out, I've 3d printed a case for them plus the batteries will be better finished 👍🏻
@@ksrnate are those already claimed? Very interested if you're selling

Great video hope it catches on 👍
Why couldn’t Asus just make a 100w battery. They have the technology. I think they deliberately made a smaller battery for the OG ally just so people would want to buy the ally X
@@NoonMight Your most probably right! The first time I saw the ally battery I really didn't understand why it was so small when there's so much room. They could have fit an even bigger battery than this in there if the PCB was mounted above it horizontally. But what do we know 🤷🏻♂️
regulation. they can but it doesn't mean they can do anything. you will never see any portable device that goes above 100w. since then max capacity that you can bring to airplane is 100w. Even if they did that they will lose some several target market because 'they can't even travel with their device'.
@@astven94 That's true! But they could fit 90wh in the ally no problem. I've already made a 99wh battery for it with not much modification to the back plate
Why haven't a company make a bigger battery and back plate for the Ally? I would buy. There's easy money there. I'm waiting...
You could probably buy the ally x battery and 3d print a chunky backplate 🤔
@@borky1987You'd have to mod the cables, as the ally x battery cable has an extra wire
Great job! Best ROG Ally battery IMO, no need to butcher the backplate.
The loss of the screw does sting a little, but it's far from an issue.
@@ezg8448 It can actually be done so the screw can be used but it's more modding! If you remove the PCB from the cells completely some of the board can be trimmed so it can be lowered enough to put the screw in. It's just more work but definitely possible
@@ezg8448 And thank you by the way 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome video bro!!! Ordered one lol. Thanks so much for this amazing mod!
@@zeelong1589 Your welcome! Hope the mod goes well for you 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great vid ....hopefully we can get an update on this in the future
Truly solid mod. I wish it was easier, but doable.
@@OpoSai Thanks man! It seems to be the best battery mod so far imo. I've started making them to ship out but only to the UK at the moment 👍🏻
Very Nice !!!! Good job !!!
@@rom-p8732 Are you going to have a go ? 👍🏻
So just need to flip the wire connector and it will be ok?
Regarding that top-center screw, as u already used 4 wires to re-arrange 2 battery cells, I think we can use 8 wires to connect all cells and rotate the battery board horizontally.
It won't fit that way I measured which is a shame. You could use 8 wires and lower the board, the bottom of the board is ok to be cut down as there is no chips just plain board. That way you could use the screw but is a lot more work for just 1 screw to go back in 👍🏻
@@ksrnate That's easy as I have a mini cutting machine from a 5V motor.
Nice! Would be good to see someone do it that way. Are you in the Rog ally group I posted this in?
@@ksrnate yes. Gà Mờ
First of all, thank you very much for your tutorial. I love modifications like this! I happened to have a defective Zenbok UX363JA with exactly the same battery model left over and I got to work straight away. However, I noticed that my BMS was slightly different from yours. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was the size of the cells. My cells are 47mm wide. In the Ally, however, the cells can only be a maximum of 45mm wide. So the used battery is unfortunately out of the question. What a pity! As for my battery, it is a C41N1904 15.48V with 67Wh, so it should actually be identical.
@@IBMWxM3xGTRI Hi and thank you ! Yes the different batteries from different suppliers are coming with bigger cells unfortunately we are finding this out as people do the mod, so far my link I have provided is good and there is one more link to a battery on Amazon that fits but yet to see it working. Are you in the UK?
@@ksrnate Seems so. My battery is original from Asus. It would be interesting to see which suppliers all fit into the ally. I also don't want to buy another battery that might not fit again. No, I come from Germany.
@@IBMWxM3xGTRI No of course don't buy one unless you know it'll work! Hopefully soon we'll have a few more links to use around the world
I'm guessing it won't work but just wanted to ask if you could still use a 2280 ssd with the adaptor using this mod?
@@jmantaiwan No that won't work unfortunately. Before you could get the adapter there was a mod where you could mount the SSD vertically under the battery, that might still work but I haven't tried it
this was the best so far
@@danielhw1 Thanks I think so too 👍🏻

Nice dude!!!! Keep it up.
Hey, would you mind building some batteries like this? I'd sure buy one
I don't have the time, it was hard doing this a second time for this video
Solid man cheers for the upload. How many batteries did you strip to know this one fits. Good job
@@ahmed4tutu Only 3 plus I ripped apart the stock ally battery so its been an expensive journey for me! Plus I had to buy another battery for this video 🤘🏻
Oof metal blades and lithium cells usually don't get along, but I'm glad it worked out
what thumbstick covers do you use?
Is it possible to make a similar mod for the steam deck?
I'm sure if I had a steam deck I could think of something! They have decent battery life anyway don't they?
@@ksrnate Normally on an LCD I don't go over an hour and a half, it would be great to at least get to 3 like a switch v1
BEAUTIFUL JOB is there any possibility that Asus could do something via software to prevent this kind of mods to happen? Because is pretty useful for ally users
@@6CauseO6FDeath6 There is a possibility but I don't think they ever will. I'm sure Asus is aware of the battery mods happening in and if allys were setting on fire all over the world because of people messing around with them they would most likely do something about it! And I'd hope so too 🤭
@@ksrnate tried it but charges to 7 percent for 20 minutes and does not seem to go beyond that. The test for the battery is 10 volts not zero. Probably i fuck something up
@@boneman3268 did you test the voltage before you start?
Perfect 🎉🎉

Well done.
Hi, great mod, i already made the 90wh mod but the weight is ..... I want to ask whats the weight of this battery compared to original (real measure without blacks sticks and plastics etc), best regards and great job
@@Fraggelillo666 Thanks buddy 👍🏻 mine weighs 670g exactly 👍🏻 I don't even notice it. Obviously felt a little heavier but really quite surprised how light it still is. Stock ally is 608g and the X is 678g I should call mine the Ally S 🤭
@@ksrnate hehehe, Ally S, oh greate i think is my next mod, the 90wh battery mod i already made rise the ally to 870g and bigger in size. Thanks so much for your work
@@Fraggelillo666 Can I ask where you are? Some who have already ordered the battery from the US from a different supplier has ended up with cells that are too big to fit in Ally so for now my link is the only one we can trust until someone finds other suitable batteries
@@ksrnate Im from spain, ahhhh ok i take note about what you say, important to know it, maybe i can measure every cell dimension before "unstick" it and check if its valid or return the item and provide here if another amazon supplier fits too
@@Fraggelillo666 Yep a few people are doing this also with Amazon. I find out tomorrow if any that have been ordered are the right size. The trouble is the width can not be more than 45mm. Mine is 45mm and is a perfect fit, someone else had a 48mm and didn't fit. You could maybe peel the wrapping back a bit just to measure then stick it back down to return it 🤔
Great MOD and video! What gauge wire did you use? Thanks.
@@SykoDaddy74 30 gauge is working good, any bigger will not fit on the board you see 👍🏻
Hi How many hours the battery last in comparison whit stock model
For me almost double run time 👍🏻
The original battery is 40 wh so... around 67% more time depending of the usage/setup
@@62500Kira The original is 40wh but mine had a capacity of 35wh, I tested this on a full charge. The new battery was 67.3 on a full charge so almost double the capacity in my case 👍🏻
Rename it to ROG Ally Battery Mod
Wow I didn't even notice that 🤣 Thanks 👍🏻
So the battery C41N1904 does have the same connector as rog ally?
No need to cut from rog ally battery?
Thanks for sharing
That's correct! You can put the stock ally battery back in whenever you want as the cable isn't touched 👍🏻
Great work mate!!!
Thank you 👍🏻
Good one
insane mod .now i regret i sold my rog ally....
Gutted! You could buy one back, they're very cheap used ones around now 👍🏻
Buy an Ally X if you ever wanted to it comes with an 80whr battery.
@@mickeymouze5 I did actually buy the ally x one but while I was waiting for it to arrive I did this mod. Then when it came I returned it straight away 🤭 it's not worth £800 now my ally lasts 2 hours
£800 is a bit overpriced... while you can get the Ally for around 350
@@borky1987 Ain't that the truth!
Did try do all the soldering board to right/ left side ? Board on middle seems dangerous though.
It's fine I've had no heat issues. The foam pad I use raises it from the processor 👍🏻
I see , is it possible to do the pcb to the right/ left side ? Cause im using 2280ssd .
@@Shahmeem994 It's not unfortunately. It's also too long to mount horizontally. I am going to try something, the original 2280 mod was to put the ssd vertical and under the original battery so I may try that because I get asked this a lot 👍🏻
beauty
I have 2280 ssd 90 degree angled in my Ally can i do this mod or the ssd will be in the way? 😢
Yeh that's one downside to the mod, I can't see a way to use the 2280. If you mounted it in vertically it may be able to fit under the battery but I'm not 100% on that. I might even try it because I've mounted a 2280 this way before 👍🏻
Interesting finger tattoos. Can you explain them?
Well I was a skin head when I was a kid 😂 not like a racist one just literally had a shaved head and for some stupid reason got it tattooed on ma fingers 🫤 long long time ago. I've got loads i would get rid of all of them now if I could 👍🏻
Hi, question: I tried the mod but the cell inside the battery I bought was a bit larger 50mm, how large is the cell you used in this video?
@@devandmagic Hi yes this is a common problem, I guess you bought the battery from somewhere else? Mine is 43mm. Where did you get yours from?
Hey, exactly like this happened to me, my battery is like 1 or 2 mm too wide to fit :(, bought from ali express.
@@arrtaas There's possibly a 72wh mod coming that will be much more available to people. Same as this fits inside the stock back plate so if you hold on a couple weeks 🤞🏻

what special kind of solder do you need?
@@joshm8015 No special solder needed 👍🏻
I see in the video I didn't explain very well, the battery tabs are made of aluminium and do need a special solder but they are welded to tabs on the board, we can solder to the tabs no problem as we are removing the tabs 👍🏻
Thx bro
Question if you have a minute, please. I tested my battery at the cable like you and get an output of 15.10v
I checked each individual cell and all 4 are 3.7v to 3.8v, so I guess it's losing voltage somewhere in the board itself... maybe?
Does anyone see this as being a problem? Thanks in advance, and thank you for the video!
Hi mate don't worry it seems like it may have been shipped to you with less charge in it than others. Anywhere between 3.3v and 4.2v is ok. Have you measured the cells to see if they will fit? Where did you order it from?
@@ksrnate Yeah, I just thought it might be odd that the individual cells seem to be fully charged but the reading at the wires seems lower maybe. But now that I think about the math, it does add up. :)
I found one on amazon with good reviews and each cell measures about 4mm thick. Going to give it a go!
@@PFSTR It's not the thickness that's the problem it's the height, about 43mm is our limit but some are coming 45mm or bigger
@@ksrnate ahhhh... Then I might be out of luck with these ones. They're just under 47mm H. At least I got some soldering practice. :)
@@PFSTR That's a shame dude. A few have claimed they got the battery elsewhere and completed the mod but never gave a link as to where they ordered it from? Off Amazon apparently but I don't know

@@ksrnate will do, thank you
Omg. Hopefully someone can make pcb board to make compatible of 2280 ssd ❤❤❤
If you could find another laptop battery with around 67wh you could use the PCB from that also, but you would have to buy some batteries to find a PCB that would be small enough? Would be very hard to find and expensive probably 😩
How much more runtime are you getting?
Me personally I'm getting almost double, the stock ally battery although is 40wh was actually 34wh in my case. You can do a battery report in windows to check on its degradation and full charge capacity. Mine went from 34wh to a full 67.3wh. A huge difference! A lad that came here for me to fit one in his ally was same story his was 35wh
Is there another battery that you can do? because here in Brazil it is difficult to find this battery
Only this one fits so far. I haven't heard of any others yet

@@ksrnate I bought the same battery but the wires already came in the position you placed if you have Telegram I will send you a photo
@@danielhw1 I hate to say it but it's probably not going to work, first thing you need to do is measure the height of the cells to see if they will physically fit. Should be about 43mm. Test the wires also for voltage
@@ksrnate worse bro I tried to do it now it doesn't turn on just with the battery just with the charger and with the battery off I can only turn on the battery with it on and it seems like it doesn't charge it doesn't show when it's discharged
ROG ALLY got ghettofied.
how about you 3d print a bigger back cover so you don't have to cut or grind nothing make one with bigger grips or something like that or you can just make it slightly taller to fit a bigger battery.
if you 3D print a bigger back you can put a bigger battery and have the thing side ways so you can have bigger SSD card.
bigger back cover will latterly fix all the problems.
@@atmphil1 It's not really worth it, the bits you cut don't change the thickness of the back plate they are just bits that stick out to go around the stock battery and it only takes 5 minutes to do 👍🏻 this new battery is same 10mm thickness as the stock you see 👍🏻
@@ksrnate what im saying is with bigger back cover you can have bigger battery and you can use all the screws and the pcb can go sideways so you can use bigger ssd.
@@atmphil1 Well yeh of course you can use a bigger battery with a bigger back plate but to keep it stock looking this is the way. It would be nice if we didn't have to snip any plastic at all but it's worth it. I can actually move the PCB down a bit to put the screw back in but is more work and I don't really care about that screw to be honest
Does it fit with original ally backplate?
@@1990kisame Yes mate but you will still have to snip some plastic away like I did with the diy plate
Will this can be happen with c41n2101 too?
