How To
What is a Battery Pack? How do I replace it?
The main power source for your drone's motors is the battery pack. They are powerful enough to keep your quadcopter flying safely and smoothly.
You won't notice any differences between the battery packs in a new drone and the one you have before. But your battery pack will eventually become less efficient over time. It might eventually stop functioning altogether. It is important to change the battery to make sure your drone works properly.
It's better to use the original battery pack when replacing it. Otherwise, you risk damaging your drone by installing a faulty battery pack.
These are the steps you need to follow in order to replace a dead battery pack.
-
Disconnecting the battery connector cable is a good idea. This ensures your drone doesn’t receive any electricity. Simply pull the connector cable off the drone to disconnect it.
-
Unscrew the battery. The battery pack should be removed from the quadcopter's base. The battery usually separates into two parts.
-
Locate the battery contacts. After you've taken out the battery pack, search for the battery contacts. These tiny metal pins are what connect the battery to other components within the drone.
-
Install the new battery. Next, install the new battery into the drone. Align the connectors for the battery pack on each side. Then, push the battery pack onto the drone. After that, secure the bolts that hold the battery pack in place.
-
Attach the battery connector cable. Reconnect the battery connector cable after you have installed the new battery pack.
-
You should test your drone. Check that your drone still works properly before you fly it again. Congratulations!
