DJI FPV Battery Cage Version 2 (Instructions)

WARNING!

If the battery voltage falls below 21 Volts, as indicated by 20% in the goggles, it will cause irreparable damage to the BMS board.

Notice: Unfortunately, we do not provide refunds or replacements for damaged BMS boards.

INSTRUCTIONS

Each unit undergoes quality testing, including a minimum hover test utilizing the DJI FPV drone.

The assembly includes the following parts:

(1) 3D Printed Battery Cage (Free!)
(1) 3D Printed Battery Cage top cover (Free)
(1) 3D Printed Button (Free)
(1) DJI Battery Management board
(1) XT-60 Harness (Soldered to board)
(1) 6s balancing Harness/adapter (Plugged into board)
(4) M2 – 5mm stainless screws
(1) 1400mAh SMC battery

Note:

Please do not insert the battery cage into the drone without a battery. Feedback indicates that this can damage the ears, as pulling them to remove the battery cage without a battery can cause them to bend inward too much and break.

To obtain more batteries, feel free to purchase from either of the two vendors below:

NOTE:

Batteries will arrive at storage voltage

Make sure to fully charge them before use.

Always connect a fully charged battery.

Do not use partially charged batteries.

Unplug after use and do not leave the batteries connected to the unit for extended periods.

Note: The batteries may arrive with some of their front packaging removed. Don’t be concerned; this trimming may have been necessary to facilitate a smooth battery assembly process. It ensures that both leads reach the socket and that the assembly fits correctly in the drone, providing a secure connection.

Proper LiPo battery care

By purchasing this product, the buyer/user agrees that they have read and understood the safety precautions printed in this document and accept full responsibility for the associated risks. By agreeing, the user/buyer does not hold I, responsible for any accidents, injury to persons, or property damage that may occur.

If the buyer/user does not agree to these conditions, please return the battery to the place of purchase immediately, in its original condition.

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are the preferred choice for drones due to their high power output, lightweight design, and high energy density. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your LiPo stays in top condition.

Charging LiPo Batteries

(Charge battery utilizing my kit)

NEVER leave charging batteries unattended. Monitor the charging process and respond to any issues that arise.
ONLY charge batteries in a fireproof container and away from combustible material. Do NOT charge on surfaces that can catch fire – this includes: wood, cloth, carpet, or the application’s device.
Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature before charging.

Discharging Batteries & First Uses

Battery packs should NEVER be over-discharged.

Specifically, overdischarging the battery during the first charge will permanently damage it before you can fully enjoy it.
Be extremely careful not to over-discharge new packs.

Storage & Transportation

Fireproof containers, such as fireproof Li-po bags, are strongly recommended for Li-po battery storage and transport.
NEVER store batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do NOT expose the battery pack to direct sunlight (heat) for extended periods.
Storing a battery at temperatures above 170°F for extended periods (more than 2 hours) can damage the battery and cause a possible fire.
For long-term storage, do NOT store batteries fully charged; instead, fully charge them and then discharge them to 50-60% of their capacity before storage.
Store battery at room temperature between 40 and 80°F for best results.
When transporting or temporarily storing in a vehicle, the temperature range should be between 20 °F and 150 °F.

Battery Life & Disposal of LiPo Batteries

Rechargeable LiPo batteries do NOT last forever. Batteries that have lost 20% of their initial capacity should be removed from service and properly disposed of.

If at any time you see physical damage to a LiPo battery, such as a swollen cell, a split, or a tear in the cell’s foil covering, STOP using the battery immediately and dispose of it at a local recycling location.

WARNING!

If the battery voltage falls below 21 Volts, as indicated by 20% in the goggles, it will cause irreparable damage to the BMS board.

This cannot be reversed or repaired!

So long as you adhere to the stated guidlines your unit will outlast the drone!

NOW GO FLY AND HAVE FUN
