goldwright Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just thought I would share my wireless setup for anyone thinking of trying this. I have used Avantree Saturn Pro (Low Latency) bluetooth Transmitter/receiver and some Camcorder batteries. I have also got a couple of Lipo batteries from my RC which run the 5000 really well as they keep their voltage for longer. The leads I made myself with genuine power plugs and a deans RC battery plug and a 1/8 audio jack so as to go straight into bluetooth wireless module. These little module are very good and are lasting well over the 8 hour mark on a charge, and their size and weight make them very versatile. The 7200mah pack and wireless module come in at 325 grams with leads included this lasts about 5-6hours I have made up a couple of 3400mah packs with 18650 cells and these weight 180 grams with module and leads and lasts about 3 hours. I have a 5000mah Lipo hardcase which weight 200 grams with both wires and module, this goes for 7 hours before the low voltage alarm comes. Lipo batteries aren't for everyone as they can be a little volatile, but I am yet to have one explode and treat them with care when charging with a good lipo charger.

vanursepaul Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I used that same type of rig on my 3500 except i used Hard pack RC batterys ...used it with a speaker velcro'ed to the case for hands free---now i have TDK wireless... I have seen the other soft packs burn, and even though it is amazing to watch it isn't too fun if it is your electric bike burning with them....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nice setup, thanks for posting. Makes you wonder why with modern batteries and wireless systems we don't see a PI incorporating these features instead of being added on by countless owners.

goldwright Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes I find it very strange with the new small battery that Minelab has come out with did not carry a wireless module, just make it the same RF as the WM10 or WM12 receiver. They obviously saw the demand for a smaller lighter weight battery so people could free them selves of the wires but no true wireless. Just gives us a project to work on I suppose.

KinnieDhar Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks for sharing your information. I also have the similar type of package. But i think i have some different specifications. I have the different specifications for the LiPos. Also bluetooth module was not there. hdi pcbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of the avantree now and would like to make a couple of leads like those. Can you help a poor old yank out??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
