Is it possible to implement DJI smart batteries?

Posted by ActionDrone on March 26, 2018 at 2:16am

Hello,

I would use the DJI smart batteries (i.e. The ones used with the M600 Pro, TB47S) in order to have higher density batteries and a smart chip to discharge them after x days.

I know these guys from Italy achieved it, don't know if they used APM-like FC: https://youtu.be/l1USMC-F7eU

Anyone already tried to implement these kind of batteries with the Pixhawk?

Thanks.

Not really suitable for multirotors, but if you're looking for long endurance (fixed-wing) check out my new thread:

Thanks Andre,

do you have any suggestion besides Tattu Smart LiPos? We are also looking for a compact solution, that’s why we liked DJI.

There are better, cheaper, more open alternatives to the DJI batteries.

Smart batteries are supported already, that means the proper, open smart battery standard from late 80s , not proprietary DJI stuff :)
