No name battery replacement

Did any one of you try this? I am wondering if it works with the latest firmware and the latest dji go app.

These batteries don't have many reviews. I found one recent review on Amazon here that states it does not work well. 3rd party batteries are not supported by DJI and have not been thoroughly tested. For about $30 more, you can save yourself some hassle and buy an OEM battery on Amazon here.

Here is an older auction from the same seller AliExpress Mobile - Global Online Shopping for Apparel, Phones, Computers, Electronics, Fashion and more
positive feedback overall.

About amazon, I know it may be surprising for you but not everyone lives in The States

That's not very surprising at all. I guess you know Amazon has specific websites for other countries too. And, if you don't like Amazon, then try other retailers who sell OEM DJI products. There are many sellers selling DJI products at prices below MSRP.

I bought 2 of these, got them last week. They fit, they load and they are accepted by my Phantom 3 4K with the latest FW. Only had no time to check the overall flighttime with these batteries compared to the original ones, but they seem to be okay.

ye right and pay 160 bucks

msinger · Jul 30, 2016

160 bucks for what?

Wilus12345 · Jul 30, 2016

thats the normal price in Europe for dji batteries

Wilus12345 · Jul 30, 2016

If I had it for 110$ I wouldn't even bother with the fake ones

msinger · Jul 30, 2016

That seems to be a common trend for DJI parts in general in Europe.

Amazon UK are selling OEM batteries for £120 free postage and packing

I bought one under eur 100 incl shipping. I live in The Netherlands.

I'm jealous.
I live in Australia and I can only buy from DJI here, and they're charging $259 per battery!
None of the Amazon supplies of official DJI batteries will ship to Australia - boo

Unless anyone on here has any suggestions on where to get an OEM DJI battery from a supplier that's more in line with the Amazon's $100 price?

Cheers!

Do you have something like ebay there?
That's where I got mine. $90 USD.

Yip we have eBay. But the Australian sellers (because you can't get the battery shipped from overseas) are charging almost full retail $250AUD) for an oem battery!

Could ya save some bucks by having someone here in the states ship you a battery? I don't know what a 1 pound box would cost to ship out that way

Yeah I thought about that! Not sure you can though as the restriction is with shipping the type of battery via air and customs would pick it up before it left port?
