Q X7 18650 Battery Tray With Charging Jack

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

This is an 18650 battery tray for the Taranis Q X7. It has mounts for a charging protection board and USB charging jack.
It also has mount for a battery cut-off switch. The Q X7 will run on the USB cable once it is booted up. When you are in flight sims, flip the switch off and save your batteries for the real flight.
NOTE: If you do not have power after everything is assembled you need to short across the P- and B- contacts on the charging board. You can flip the tray over and get to the contacts. Just take a jumper wire and touch them for a second, you should get power to the plug.
I included a battery cover in case you don't want to cut holes in your original cover. I printed it at .1 layer height.

Your batteries need to be matched before you use them. Check them with a volt meter, if they aren't the same then charge them separately before putting them in a set.
