So I got around to giving this a try: It's pretty straightforward and works well, and I imagine the weight is comparable to one regular and two aftermarket batteries. I took one of those cheap parallel charging boards you get off of Ebay for a few dollars and de-soldered four of the battery pins, then simply soldered the pins to 4 wires--2 black, 2 white--and then soldered the ends of the like batteries together and then to some alligator clips and attached it to the bird and the two batteries. Works perfectly, with the exception that it turns up a battery error as a result of not creating any connection between the information link (the small, square portion on the smart board that connects to the four prongs on the power module). Easy fix however, just attach some wires. Of course this could be very much refined and made practical by mounting the batteries as you did in the other mod and so on, I just did it as a proof of concept. So I suppose my question is, why use one DJI and two non DJI batteries for a total of 3 instead of just using two of the regular batteries? I mean for instance, it would make for a pretty simple kit, just a mount, and I bet you could modify the OEM power module spare parts by just wiring two of them together in parallel at the bare wire ends and attaching it to a female end, like what is in one of the batteries. Then it's very simple, easy, and uses batteries of the same voltage, chemistry, manufacturer, etc. Let me know your thoughts.
