Whats that battery mod?

It’s a 20000mah battery, and I bought the battery board from a Chinese second-hand e-shop. But it’s not necessary for the 4G function, I just want my equipment can last long

Do you have a link for the printed rear cover please?

I’m also interested in that battery board! I have a 4/5g setup I’m working on, but am running out of space. Getting both a larger battery and more room inside would be so nice.

Will that battery fit in the stock metal back, and if so, will you please post a parts list?

Hello, great project!
Is this the original antenna?

Best regards

Pretty sure it’s this one:

That looks like it, thanks. No wonder I couldn’t find it online, I’d never have thought of searching Git for STL files.

I actually discovered it while browsing Reddit, and it printed out very well

Yes, it’s possible, but it can be expanded to a maximum of 10000 milliampere hours of battery. 20000 milliampere hours is too thick and requires reprinting the backplate.

Battery expansion plan:

  1. A battery adapter board, which requires drawing or trying to search on AliExpress, or later I will publish an AliExpress link and contact the merchant to list it on AliExpress
  2. A lithium battery, model 9858102, needs to be equipped with a 5A protection board to avoid overcharging or overdischarging, and a 2pin 2.54mm power cord

Well, you can consider using the original patch antenna or adding a 4G glue stick antenna
