Taranix QX7 Battery cover with balance charge port 2S 3S

thingiverse

This is a precision-fitted replacement battery bay cover for the Taranis QX7. On the original battery cover, the bottom notches often crack and break apart, especially when using 3S 18650 batteries. Because these notches kept breaking off and because I had to open up my QX7 every time to balance charge the 3S 18650 battery, I decided to create a battery hatch that allows outside access to the balance connector while still hiding and protecting it somewhat. ***I have included three types of hatches:*** - A hatch with all holes as shown on the photos above. - A hatch without the hole for external Crossfire power. - A hatch with all holes removed, only the bottom to screw holes to attach it to the transmitter. ***And I've also included two types of balance connector covers, one for 2S and one for 3S plugs.*** To attach the panel to my transmitter, I took off the back cover and drilled two 3mm holes in the bottom flanges of the battery bay, then inserted two M3x6 screws through the holes to attach the 15mm spacers. Of course, you have to do this at your own risk! ***If you don't have any 15mm spacers around, you can find printable ones attached as well.*** If you make this project, please share it with others!
