A Mini 2 battery for $106 USD, made by Synergy Digital with Japanese components in China. Are they just really proud of these or is there something special about these ??

It looks like it is a Li-Ion Battery. Original Mini 2 batteries are Li-Po. Li-Ion batteries make the drone fly longer, however they normally make it less powerful.

Thanks Yaros, I'm just now reading about the original mini batteries being different.

Rather than start a new thread... I purchased a mini 2 charging hub with 2 batteries supposedly refurbished from dronesuperstore on e-bay , the charger has a nice bulge in it, I assume from a swollen battery ??.

Also the batt's arrived with 5% charge on them. They do not seem swollen and no splits in the seams.

I charged the batts, no swelling. I'm kinda leery to use the slot where the swelling is....

I reckon I should just went directly to DJI, live n learn.

They must be real proud of that battery. Original DJI batteries sell for $55, same 2250 mah.

I saw that price as well

. we'll see if three are enough for me for now....

Original Mini 2 batteries are Li-ion. Mini batteries are LiPo. This "deal" is a bad rip-off!! The label in the picture says LiPo. You should be fine with three originals!

It would be a slow day salmon fishing to burn through 3 batteries, that plus I have a USB thing that plugs into the lighter adapter looking power outlet on the boat. Yes, I have sat anchored for 6 hours without a bite, and yes trolled for same amount of time and gotten skunked...
Looking fwd to getting video of the boat this spring/summer/fall.

Also the original Mini (1) batteries were black in color. While they could be used in a Mini 2 (but a Mini 2 battery can't be used in a Mini) , they can't provide the peak amperage the Mini 2 batteries can.

I have a mini battery (li-on) that I regularly use in the Mini 2 ... it seems to have just as much power, hard to tell, but flight times reduced about 20% .. You can't use a mini 2 (li-po) battery in a mini cause it's bigger, and wont fit.

My bad, I got them backwards.

My understanding was always was that LiPo is a type of Li-Ion battery.
Polymer is the solid gel-like electrolyte, but (older) Li-Ion cells have a liquid electrolyte.

It may not be wrong to call a LiPo battery Li-Ion. Happy to learn if anybody knows more about battery chemistry.

Having said all this, a much higher price than the original can't be right.

Thats why they call it Fishing and Not Catching LOL
