Thanks for sharing this info on replacing the OEM charge type battery with a 2032.
I've known this is an issue for a while, but never took the time to look into it. I also noticed that 3DR documented the battery design with the Rev B GPS release.
Unless someone is flying every day, your OEM battery will be discharged and you will have to wait for a cold gps start each time.
I always wondered if the Solo firmware could send the time to the gps to give it a sudo warm start, but I haven't done more than wonder.
I may consider doing the cr2032 battery mod as often I don't fly for weeks at a time.
I know we shouldn't complain about the Solo, but this part of its design makes absolutely no sense at all.
