    Need to find a battery solution for P2 V+ so I can keep testing.

    I found this video much more detailed and helpful, so the sensor plays a role either way. As for how do this safely and the risk it poses, once the old battery pack is disconnected the risk of puncturing it and it turning into a "incendiary grenade" as he put it, is less, so unless I screw up...

    Need to find a battery solution for P2 V+ so I can keep testing.

    So if the mod were done than that sensor would not work anyway since it's part of the intelligent battery feature?

    Need to find a battery solution for P2 V+ so I can keep testing.

    I can appreciate what you are saying and it's certainly not worth the risk of injury or death, that said is there a chance I might be able find someone who I can pay to do the mod? Otherwise it's looking like sometime before I can obtain a affordable P 2 Battery, the best I have found so far is...

    Need to find a battery solution for P2 V+ so I can keep testing.

    It's pretty much like the title says, I started a fix it thread earlier but it looks like it's dead, I’m stuck because the batteries to test with I have are bad, One is 6000 MAH and swelled up and I was able to freeze and get some more life out of it but now it just doesn't hold much of a charge...

    Phantom 2 V3 Vision + No Motor Start, GPS Lock or Video

    I’m stuck because the batteries to test with I have are bad, I tried to revive one but it’s not working right, I can’t find an affordable used one, so I’m gonna try to do a battery mod and try a 1800 or 2000 mah and see if I can proceed with the testing, so far no motors but that's probably due...

    FAA Remote I.D.

    So it becomes very apparent that the only DJI drone that will not be covered under this regulation will be the Mavic Mini at just under the regulated 0.55 Lbs 250 Grams limit it makes sense. is that why I'm seeing so many Phantom pilots switching to the Mavic Mini? If that's the case time is...

    Phantom 2 V3 Vision + No Motor Start, GPS Lock or Video

    Yes I agree that's why I'm going to hold off on swapping the ceramic antenna, it's either the puck itself or there is some kind of issue on the mainboad, hoping that that it's just the puck, if it is I can always do the antenna upgrade later. Just bought this one DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ GPS Module...

    PV2+ no live feed

    I'm hoping this is relevant to this thread, I know it's old but it looks like it's still alive, it's related to the black screen issue with the Vision Ap and FPV, can someone please tell me if the cause is the same if there is a spinning icon rather than just a black screen? I know the general...

    Phantom 2 V3 Vision + No Motor Start, GPS Lock or Video

    So that would explain why after switching to NAZA mode and setting manual for S1 it just won't start, well that and the possibility of a ESC that needs to be replaced, I see so that wire is actually only on Phantom 2 Vision, how did I not see that, never mind, so than my NAZA wiring is good, So...
