Has anyone ever bought a refurbished battery for your drone? I'm asking because I ordered a new battery from amazon and when I checked on the status I then realized that it says renewed. Am I screwed?

USA,What country? (Different consumer laws)
What aircraft? (Different cell pack configuration)
What Amazon? (.com/.co.uk.etc) Link to ad?
OK, so I would guess it is this product (or something similar)USA,
Mavic Air,
Amazon.com
Read the ad/listing.So, do renewed batteries typically mean lower quality, shorter flight times, shorter overall battery lifespan, and/or fewer total charge cycles? Or does performance of renewed batteries vary, but there’s no recourse for faulty renewed batteries?
Yea it was an over site on my part. just curious to know if anyone has tried a refurbished battery.OK, so I would guess it is this product (or something similar)
Amazon.com: DJI MAVIC AIR Intelligent Flight Battery Mavic Air accessories -Open Box (Renewed) : Toys & Games
Buy DJI MAVIC AIR Intelligent Flight Battery Mavic Air accessories -Open Box (Renewed): Remote & App Controlled Vehicles - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchaseswww.amazon.com
In which case it clearly states in the product description that it is a ‘renewed’ item so you cannot argue you didn’t know what you were purchasing.
They are also not trying to sell something as new when it isn’t which would be illegal.
I'll know by sunday, battery is coming tomorrow, 2-22-20.I never bought a refurbed battery in my life --- but Amazon has a very generous 30-day return policy so I would just test them out in comparison to new batteries and see how long they last. You will probably know right away if they can hold as much charge as a new one, although the number of charges left on the life cycle wont be known.

It was an over site on my behalf. But yes ,that's the plan.here’s a question for you...would you buy a “used” battery for your car just to save $20? Even if it had been tested and refurbished by Joe Bob in his basement?
Good news is you bought from Amazon and they will gladly exchange/refund your $$$

Thanks for this info. I was upset at myself for not completely reading the description before purchasing it. I'll be sending it back as soon as it gets here. Thanks again.Yes, and I have only suffered problems. Cell life was much shorter, due to poorly balanced cells. IME, they are not worth expense, and time. Nothing is worth watching your drone shut down, 5 min after your FC showed 35% battery.
