Here the technical details:
- Battery: LiPo
- Cells: 2C (2 Cells)
- C Rating: 30-50C
- Volts: 7,4V
- Size(LWH): 69mm x 34mm x 16mm
- Capacity: 1500mAh
The battery easily fits into the normal Battery Pack of the Nomad, you just need to remove some plastic on the inside.
After that you have to solder the LiPo to the right connection points of the pack.
Be careful because when you shortcircuit your LiPo it will go up in flames within a second (its very strong).

For charging the LiPo just open the case up and use the 2C Connector with a 2C compatible LiPo charger.
You now have almost double the runtime (sometimes even more) and all inside the sega battery pack.

Have fun with this mod! (Tip: you can easily find cheaper LiPo's with chargers on Ebay)

| After charging happy with the standard look without any ugly holes |
Any tips for removing the spacing inside the battery pack? Have tried a few sharp tools but it's not really wearing away at the plastic.
ReplyDeleteIts really easy.. Use a flat plier to grab the plastic.. then twist it left/right.. and it falls off :) i did the plastic removal in 1 min.

Hello
DeleteYes this one would work, but i cannot tell you about the quality of this manufacturer because i havent tried it myself (but i guess all chinese built LiPo's are almost the same).
