Hello
Many years ago, I finally bought my first box with DNA 200, namely the Hotcig DR200.
Unfortunately, it didn't last very long, about 6 months, and its battery failed.
Tomorrow I'll look online, in the meantime I'll use my Kangerteck 120.
The day after tomorrow I'll see... the beautiful DR200 was abandoned.
I'd like to get it working again, but unfortunately its original battery,
the 900mA FullyMax, is no longer available.
I saw one on eBay with the 6-pin MPX connector,
but unfortunately it is not shipped to Italy.
So I am forced to buy a battery of the right size,
but unfortunately they ALL have a 2+4 pin double connector,
so I have to carefully (since the batteries for sale are charged)
cut and solder the 6 wires one by one to the 6-pin MPX connector.

Inside the DR200 box, there is a black plastic cover that I did not want to force off.
I wanted to ask any of you who have purchased a DR200 in the past
if, behind that black plastic cover, the cables coming from the MPX connector
are soldered directly onto the DNA200 board or if a 4-pin JST-XH female connector
is soldered onto the board for balancing the lipo battery charge.
Similarly, I would also like to know if the two main red and black power cables
that also come from the 6-pin MPX connector are soldered directly onto the DNA200 board
or if they also connect to a 2-pin JST-type connector.


To tell the truth, I am waiting for the arrival of a lipo battery purchased on Aliexpress
that mounts 3 lipo 501865, while the original battery had 3 lipo 622566 inside.
If there are connectors inside the DR200, even just the 4-pin JST-XH connector,

I might decide to remove the MPX connector and save myself
some headaches when soldering with a charged battery.
Thank you and I apologize for my poor English.

I am posting the following photos:
