Everything needed to perform the MOD
Everything can be purchased on eBay for cheap 👍
solder, soldering iron, female xt60 connector, female 4S lipo balance connector, wire heat shrink multiple sizes, electrical tape, glue buster, heat gun or lighter, wire cutters
good luck with the mod take your time be careful because this can be very dangerous if you puncture one of the battery cells.
if you have any further questions about the mod reach out to me through my email address and we will communicate as needed.
Very helpful info - thanks. So you strapped the battery in place, with the BMS board and power on button tucked in down the side. Maybe an enterprising person could design and 3D print a new battery case to accommodate these parts, while clipping securely into place? Obviously it would be slightly bulkier than the original case, so wouldn't look as sleek.
The best thing about this is that next time the battery fails, it's an easy plug and play replacement.
If you watch the video again right in the beginning I say that we have a 3D printed lid available for purchase that goes over the top of the battery mod and clips into place.
Great info Dan!! Thanks for working this out and sharing with us!
My batteries are ok right now, but it's good to know I can mod my own when they eventually give in 👍👍👍
All of the batteries I fly with are okay until they fail you don't know when it's going to happen it just happens you should watch my last video you will understand what I mean

I see what you mean mate, I'll be sure to keep a close eye on battery percentage and volts!
Cheers bud 👍
@@StuartTiffany I don't think you understand whether you're monitoring the voltage or not you won't be getting your solo back if you're under pitch controls drawing amperage to the motors hovering is one thing but moving in a directional path at anything over 12 to 15 miles per hour when a cell fails will cause immediate black out of the solo I won't have enough power to keep sustain flight so unless you always plan on flying at 12 to 15 miles per hour every single flight I would suggest performing the battery mod so you don't have to worry about it anymore. That was a perfectly good battery that only had two flights and it toasted on its second flight right in front of me if you had been flying when that battery did that your solo would have crashed without any warning
Point taken Dan, I intend to keep my Solo flying as long as I can, so I'll look to sorting my batteries when I get time 👍
Great job bro, thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍
Good job Dan.
cool mod,thanks for sharing
Keeping a system alive, one that shouldn't have gone by the wayside. Nice public service to the community.
DW ! First off thanks for turning me on to the Solo ! Great frigging drone . I took a chance buying mine , the guy said it was only flown a few times . When it arrived it looked brand new and had 4 batteries . I'm going to make sure the batteries are fully charged and see how long they last to check their longevity . Would you suggest just hovering or flying the same route with each ? The battery mod you came up with is great as I was concerned , like any Solo owner where to find more batteries . Very cool of you to share your knowledge . Thanks again Dan ! Hope you're feeling better brother .
almost 20m of fly time thats damn good
As you fly this solo your flight times will get better and better with that pack I was getting almost 17 minutes of flight after about 25 charges
@@IFixShet i hear DW i have a question about batteries the batteries that i have they still hold charge pretty good do you think i should scrap them and do the mod i have 5 well the only down side is that i get around 12min of fly time
Really great lesson I'm sure alot of hobbist got very good needed knowledge...well done sir
Hey Dan great video i just modded 2 batteries, my question is the bms seems to be showing the old battery MAH capacity and that sends a audible warning though Solex, any fix for that?
Did you calibrate the bms after installing the battery to it?
I'm not really sure how you were even able to view this video because I have it set as unlisted
Hey Dan, I saved your video a while back and took screenshots lol, but no I didn't know how to reset the bms
I mean calibrate
