Introduzione

If using the Skycontroller 2 and you think the battery is not being charged or the controller is not receiving power, you might want to replace the power port. The power port supplies power to the battery in order to charge.

In order to replace the power port, first make sure the battery is disconnected and there is no power to the Skycontroller 2.

The power port will require soldering to remove, so check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide to learn how to solder if you’re unfamiliar with the practice.
