Broken Battery Tabs

[Austromark]

Hello Pilot's

I want to share my journey.
First I have the fly more Mini 3 pro and it's great!
A few weeks back after charging my 3 batteries in the supplied charger I went to release one of them and pressed on the tabs and one of them broke, I was puzzled as I take very good care of my drones.
I went on the search because a year back or so I had swollen Mavic 2 pro batteries and DJI replaced both of them FREE of charge they just needed video proof and after a few mails I had replacements, btw I had no DJI care and the Mavic was long out of its guarantee.

So I hit up the dji help once again because surely this is a manufacturing fault? After a few mails I was told to send it to Hungary to get repaired but I wasn't expecting a grand total of €69.
I was expecting possibly a voucher with percentage to buy a new one but FULL price and plus I payed 10€ to ship it to Hungary.

Confused

Mark.

sorry to hear about the Battery Many conditions can cause what happened to you 69 seems pretty steep for those batts.
They can be gotten much cheaper on E-Bay.

Been aware of the battery-locking tab problem since buying the mini 3 pro (very thin... very lightweight plastic). Most people squeeze the two of 'em way too hard before withdrawing the battery.

I gently pull the battery body backwards before only applying enough pressure to disengage the lugs. Same when taking 'em out of the charging block. So far after three-plus years of constant use? So good.
