Its always a horses for courses trade off though.
Extra weight - means extra power needed to fly / hover etc.
As in all E-Power models - the balance is found where increased battery capacity gives advantage to a max - but then as you increase further - you actually start to lose out on performance ..
"Silverwingflinx" talks about 23 mins ... 20mins .... but at what weight penalty ? Given that an out of box P3 can actually fly 20mins if you are gentle with that power stick ... don't get aggressive and fly to max of battery ....
Not trying to be negative - just bringing it into perspective.
I was thinking of doing the 'tin-plate' mod myself ... which requires no battery work at all ... but in the end thought - why ? I usually fly up to max 18mins ... averager 13 - 15mins ... so it would be a weight penalty for ?
Just a comment : For anyone going for a battery add-on for the P3 ... make sure you get 4S LiHV format ... that is High Voltage 4.35V per cell LiPo - NOT the standard 4.2V per cell generally found over counter etc.

Well done Svanen its always interesting and fun when you mod a bird, gaining a knowledge how a phantom works at the same time..cheers.
Is it possible to take out internal cells (for exaple if they are bad) and start drone only with external
battery connected to intelligent battery electronic ?
I have several batteries with bad cells and want to use them, battery mod can be a way.

The problem would be in that the DJI battery accounts for TWO items ... the main which can use the 'tin-plate' adaptor, and the smaller inner which is the data / telemetry contacts.
If you only power via the main - then telemetry / data protocols will be missing and I think flight would likely be zero. It needs the board to distribute power accordingly so ....>
If you as I think you propose - is to take DJI board and connect to your LiPo's - then yes this can work - we've actually done it in our group - BUT the problem is resetting the board. We achieved reset one board - but another wouldn't - even though we know it was good before removal from old cells.
