      Looks like Chibattery together with Hector E. Arroyo figured a way to change a GT battery without bricking the board, no details yet, but looking good for future battery upgrades.

        @lemur I'm eager to see what they did. Simply supplying power during a transplant or something more involved I wonder.

        I've only seen the below on Reddit so far which is a screenie from FB so not sure if there is any extra info yet.

        Personally if I was them I'd probably not mention yet how they did it so they have a chance to get some sales and prolong the amount of boards that get shipped with the ability to do this. Once FM catch wind of what they did it's only a matter of time before it gets "patched".

          @lia Next step to to revive a bricked Gt . Maybe FM will update the hardware on newer models making the early hardware models more desireable like early XR s.

            maybe they'll spend more money chasing dreams!

            XR's got what plants crave!

              FM encases BMS and battery in epoxy...
