To change the gimbal dampener mount on the Autel Robotics Max Series:

1. Remove the gimbal from the aircraft by disconnecting it from the connector at the bottom of the fuselage.
2. Take off the connector cover that fixes the gimbal to the aircraft.
3. Detach the dampeners from the mount supporting the gimbal.
4. Replace the dampeners or mount as needed.
5. Reattach the dampeners to the new or existing mount.
6. Secure the gimbal back onto the aircraft by connecting it to the connector slot and replacing the connector cover.

This process ensures the dampeners continue to buffer vibration effectively.

Chapter 5 Smart Battery Chapter 5 Smart Battery 5.1 Battery Introduction The aircraft comes standard with ABX40 or ABX41 smart battery (both hereafter referred to as smart battery) as the power battery. As power battery, they both are rechargeable lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) battery and feature high energy density and capacity.
Page 104: Smart Battery Functions
Chapter 5 Smart Battery 5.2 Smart Battery Functions The smart battery has the following functions:  Battery Level Display The smart battery has a built-in battery level indicator, which shows the current battery level of the smart battery.  Self-heating This function allows the smart battery to operate normally even in low-temperature environments, ensuring flight safety.
Page 105: Smart Battery Usage
Chapter 5 Smart Battery  Overcharge Protection Charging will stop automatically when the smart battery is fully charged, as overcharging can severely damage the battery.  Balance Protection The voltage of each battery cell in the smart battery is automatically kept balanced to protect the battery and maximize the performance of the battery.

At this point, if you want to exit the battery self-heating function, short press the power button for 1 second, and then press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Page 110: Charging The Smart Battery
Chapter 5 Smart Battery aircraft will not be allowed to take off. It is recommended to wait until the self-heating is over or the battery naturally cools down to an appropriate temperature before operating.  When the temperature of the smart battery is lower than 5°C, the internal resistance of the battery will increase and the voltage will drop suddenly due to the low temperature, which will reduce the usable capacity of the battery and reduce the operating time of the aircraft.
