Usually, when DJI comes out with a new drone with new batteries it takes a while before you can buy additional batteries. I hope that doesn't happen with the Mavic as I plan to have 4 batteries to begin with and will likely add a few more down the road. So, how do other feel about additional batteries and how many do you plan to have?
The other thing battery related is that the capacity of the battery is listed at 43.6WHr and I have to imagine that many folks will be looking out for higher capacity batteries to increase flight time. A battery with 30% greater capacity should give about 20% to 25% greater endurance which could take the max flight time above 30 minutes and make 20 minutes a real comfortable time with good capacity at landing and maybe 25 minutes to 15% or 20% battery -- doable. My I1 Pro can get a maximum of about 17.5 minutes but that's draining the battery to zero so a more practical max flight time to, say, 15% to 20% battery, is about 14.5 minutes so getting 25 minutes to the same battery level would be sweet.
The other other thing is multi-battery chargers like the Smart Powercharge SPC4500 4-battery charger I use with my Inspire 1 -- given the much lower energy of each battery and a comparable recharge time a 4-battery charger should be a lot cheaper.
