All lipos should be broke in 5 charges down to 50% then go for it!!Do you more seasoned 'battery mod' users do anything special to break in a new set of batteries? I have a pair of Venom Fly 2300 LiHV batteries showing today. How do you guys break in your batteries? Charge and fly? or do you do anything to 'season' the batteries?

Yes from what I have read there is a chemical used for storage to preserve the cells.as you charge and discharge your lipos this chemical is dissipated.as we know lipos get better.You can follow silvers advice, he's probably talking from a place of knowledge and I'm only talking from a place of experience, but I've flown my externals hard and down to nothing from the start[emoji41]
You will notice better performance out of them after 10 charge/discharge cycles
Yes that's normal what I do just before I fly I top up the Dji battery force charge then it does not happen!One more question .. sometimes the externals charge my main battery rather than powering the aircraft. I'm assuming this is because the volts in the externals are greater than the stock battery and the stock is then thinking it is charging? Or, am I connecting them at the wrong time? I usually do it right after the gimbal does its dance, but i've tried other and sometimes still have that. Thoughts?

I Just got my P3A today and I already want to do this mod! I dont want to void my warranty though!
EDIT: Just found this! DJI PHANTOM 3 SMART BATTERY MOD AND KIT WITH INCLUDES 2-3 DAY SHIPPING
is it worth it?
See I did this the other day, was 20feet up and battery error shows in Dji go. I look at LEDs and they are flashing like they are charging so I brought it back and Landed. But, I hadn't topped off the stock one and it was at 97% whereas the externals were juiced fully. Will top off the stock and see how it goes, rather not discharge the externals.On the p3 you can also wait til "safe to fly" message THEN hook up externals and then as fast as possible lift off[emoji41]
It's worth it. That's a good starter kit, doesn't void your warranty , you will need to get an external battery charger though
Yeah looks like I have to get one. Found one on amazon for $60. This purchase ks gettinf expensive real quick lol
I have a question about the modded DJI battery though. Does it deplete the DJI battery also when using it? Because that means once the original modded battery drained out in the field, I won't be able to use my other turnigy lipo's.
Sorry if its kinda a noob question, i just received my first phantom yesterday.
