A PRO sled with custom modifications and aftermarket battery plates can be upgraded to HD by replacing the junction boxes and center post cable with HD-compatible versions
HD upgrades require replacing eight-pin SD Lemos connectors with newer 19-pin Leno connectors at the center post
Custom work on PRO electronics upgrades can be done by specialists familiar with PRO systems rather than requiring a complete new sled purchase
Diode-equipped power systems allow mixing chocolate box batteries with Anton Bauer batteries without risk of uncontrolled charging between different battery types

The upgrade process involves complex electronics work that requires specialized knowledge of PRO sled systems
Pricing for professional HD upgrade services may approach or match the cost of purchasing a new complete PRO HD kit
This discussion involves a 2012-era PRO sled and may not apply to other generations
