Hi everyone, you're on HowFixit. In this video guide, I'll show you how to replace the battery
on DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller Model RC231. This controller comes with drones such as
Mavic Air 2, Air 2S, Mavic 3, Mini 2, and Mini 3 Pro.
To disassemble DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller you'll need the following tools:
Screwdriver set with Phillips 1, Phillips 2, Hex 1.5 screwdrivers
Tweezers
Plastic pry tools Metal spudger
Also, I recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is
especially useful in the case of the DJI RC-N1 remote controller. Throughout this disassembly,
keep track of each screw so you can put them back in the right places - this will help successfully
reassemble your DJI remote controller model RC231. And don't worry about losing any of screws,
all of them will definitely remain on the magnetic mat. In the description,
I left links where to buy all the necessary tools.
Let's start disassembling the DJI RC-N1 remote controller.
Remove the two screws on the bottom of the controller where the joystick storage slot is
located and on the top of the controller, the two screws are hidden under the rubber tabs.
Let's move on to opening the remote controller housing.
Place the fingertips of both hands on the top of the controller housing and begin
to open the case, separating the front and back panels.
Now there is a gap through which it will be easier to open the controller body. Take a metal spudger,
which is the most suitable tool in this case, and proceed to open the controller.
There is thermal paste on the back of the metal panel and on the motherboard,
keep this paste, it will be reused when reassembling the controller.
Before further disassembly of the DJI controller,
disconnect the two battery wires from the main board.
The DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller Model RC231 uses two batteries type of 18650.
You can install new batteries using this part number 1WRLH9A0TP07EM, or
if you have soldering experience, you can resolder the wires to new
18650 battery cells. Replacing the battery in the remote controller, I recommend replacing
two cells at once, preferably from the same manufacturer with the same battery capacity.
In the description, I left links where you can buy a battery for the DJI RC-N1 remote controller
model

Plug in the charging cable and check the battery charge indicator.
Before closing the controller housing, make sure the flight mode switch is set correctly.
