Can you fly Mini 5 Pro with plus batteries out of the box here in the U.S.?

I ordered a M5P with the plus batteries. Then I stumbled across all kinds of stuff like "it weighs too much - but the small batteries weigh too much too - you need to register with FAA - you can't register with FAA b/c DJI is banned and serial numbers don't work - the software won't let you fly - everything is fine - the world is on fire and you are going to prison..."

I am no expert and my head hurts from looking on the internet for hours.

Thanks in advance.

You can register the drone with the FAA; the plus batteries are not a limitation. A recreational registration costs $5 for three years and covers every drone you fly recreationally.

They are banned for import..Not use. You will have no problems with updates and the like. the only problem I forsee is if you crash it, the shipping might be a tad expensive.
