Replacing Li-Po battery 3.7V 300mAh, 450mAh Tiesfong B40 / A118 / AE-CC30

[niko]

Tiesfong B40 / A118 / AE-CC30 uses 300mAh 3.7V Li-Po battery Model: FT402535P 402535P 402535






I have also tested bigger capacity battery and it fits inside: 3.7V 450mAh Li-Po. Model :403040.












Tiesfong B40 / A118 / AE-CC30 battery Model 402535 has 3-wire chip. When you replacing to other battery which has 2 wire chip, you need to replace it by using a 3-wire chip from old battery and solder it to a new battery.

Where in the UK can you buy batteries from Niko. The transport and delivery seems to be a problem with batteries.

Not sure where or who sells such batteries in UK. I bought bunch of replacement batteries from China.

Thanks for this new thread about A118

Is the battery solederd to MB or is there a connector ?

I plan to open the case, and place the battery outside to avoid overheating in my non-rear-air-conditioned car

can mod supercap for 24/7 use ??

Battery wires soldered to pcb.

I have finished modifying it to supercaps. Need to do some tests and after that I will post results.

I am wondering if two like batteries can be piggy backed together?

technically perhaps, but why?

 

[AllThumbs]

Double the capacity ??

 

[jokiin]

Ok, but why?

 

[AllThumbs]

Question withdrawn.

 

[jokiin]

a bigger battery would just be a bigger problem, ideally we don't want batteries in the window at all, it's only there for file save and shutdown purposes which doesn't need much capacity at all

Hi all !

I have to replace the battery of my first and now old A118.

May I use a battery with only 2 wires or should I use 3 wires ?

What will happen if I don't re-use the old 3 wire chip ?

 

[Gibson99]

what about installing a couple of capacitors and the a118c firmware? it will run on the original a118.

 

[chris-s]

I do not want to do this, because it's for my wife's car and sometimes she does not start immediately the motor after turning the key to "ACC". So, a capacitor dashcam turns off when starting motor.

I've found this one : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/3-7V...IY-Battery-For-Mp3-MP4-MP5-GPS/925733721.html

Should I put the old 3 wire chip on the new battery or only solder the white wire at the center of the new battery chip ?

 

[Gibson99]

i would move the board/chip from the old battery to the new battery. it's there to prevent over/under-charge of the bare lipo cell. cheap insurance.

I've got a 25C 380mAh battery from a drone.
I would like to use it with the A118.
But I guess there is already a chip mounted into this battery.

Is there an issue if I solder the old A118 chip on this battery inclunding already another chip, like shown on the picture ?
