Amazon batteries

[Big Jim]

Has anyone used the batteries they sell on amazon

Are you referring to OEM DJI batteries or something else?

I buy all of my DJI drones and accessories on Amazon. They have a great return policy plus perks if you’re a prime member.

Do you have a link?

I have bought OEM batteries from Amazon without issue. Bona fide dji Mavic Pro batteries.

I also purchased one of these, during a Prime sale for $45, and it has performed the same as the OEM batteries:

I have also purchased this particular battery with no issues. I have three total and all function very well.

I thought those were trouble.

Just FYI, thats not an OEM DJI battery,

You most definitely can buy a DJI OEM battery from Amazon:

Yeah, Im just not sure if the OP wants an OEM or would be happy with a generic one. He hasnt shown a link yet.

Yes, I know. I have also purchased OEM DJI batteries as well. Interestingly enough, the only bad battery that I ever got was a DJI OEM battery. Fortunately, I was able to return it without incident because it was purchased on Amazon.

If you are talking about the Power Extra battery, I have never seen an issue with it. Drone Valley's take:

It sounds like you have alot of flight time and are able to discern whether or not a battery is "bad" and what to do if you get a battery error. For newbies, I recommend OEM just so they dont freak out when/if they get a bad generic and get a warning message.

The only issue I’ve heard of was an inproper fit with the Mavic pro. Again, Amazon makes this no problem for an easy return.

Agreed. Newbies should always purchase OEM parts until they feel comfortable with determining operational functionality.

Correct he has not shown a link. But it really comes down to just two products from Amazon:
Genuine OEM or Power Extra. I have purchased both and both performed as expected. I researched the Power Extra and was satisfied after watching the Drone Valley review. That said it is the battery I will use first for ground configuring, firmware updates, etc. But I do fly with it, and after a dozen or so flights it has performed admirably. I should note I paid just $45 for it. At $59, its current price, it would have been a more difficult decision, and I would have likely just spent another $20 for OEM.

Just curious, do you mean that what you heard about improper fit was the battery didnt fit in well, as in too big or too small, or didnt latch in well?

 

[ksmusa]

The report that I read was that the battery did not securely fit into the Mavic resulting in a loose fit risking popping out during flight. Obviously a very serious issue.

@ksmusa and @Tinmania How do you find the fit of the Powerextra?

I was kind of wondering the same thing...returning the battery after it falls out of your MPP in mid flight might be a little problematic!

I also wonder about insurance and warranty...

I’ve had no problem with fit issues on either my Mavic or my P4P.
