DOA BRAND NEW Mavic Pro Fly More Combo! So upset!

[Deleted member 93449]

Which aftermarket battery did you go with? I’m a little nervous about using non OEM in my drone though.

I purchased the one referenced in the Drone Valley review (this guy does excellent drone and accessory reviews)...
Mavic Pro Aftermarket Battery

Available on Amazon...

Might be worth considering keeping the drone and asking the seller for a partial refund on the batteries and buying your own?

Any idea of what amount refund I should ask for?

I’d look up the cost of the batteries and ask for 75% on each one.
The units are no good to the seller, so they’d be stuck with a unit they can’t sell as a package.

In contact with the seller now. We are working on a compromise. I should be able to get $315 for the cost of the batteries in full which I think is fair. I explained that the batteries are the most expensive part of the bundle and basically makes the drone useless if they don’t work. Also explained that I can either return it and he’ll be out the full $675 or we can both win with a partial refund for the cost of the batteries.

I’ll update this thread once I get a response.

Great news! The seller has refunded me $315 for new battery replacements. I am now a happy man. No need to pack everything up and ship it back.

Love happy endings!
