Mavic 2 Aftermarket Batteries

[JAW]

Two years ago I lent my Mavic 2 batteries to a friend who is a pretty serious cinematographer. Unfortunately, all his equipment (including my batteries) was stolen. He got a good insurance payment and reimbursed me the cost of the batteries--back then DJI actually had them in stock. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I never bought replacement batteries. About three weeks ago the Boston PD notified him that his equipment was recovered in decent shape. Unfortunately, my Mavic 2 batteries apparently were never charged and are now D-E-A-D dead. Since the only "factory" DJI batteries I could find are are used, I'm looking at aftermarket products of which there are MANY.

Has anyone actually bought aftermarket Mavic 2 bats that are decent? If so, I would very much like to where they were purchased.

Thanks in advance!

Darned thieves don't properly maintain batteries on stolen equipment!
Who knew? LOL!

At least you were already fully reimbursed for them, so them being recovered dead changes nothing.

Your own original batteries, if you had been able to properly maintained them, would now be used as well. I'd try buying some well maintained used OEM batteries that are not swollen, which was a known issue with all Mavic 2 batteries. Most of mine are starting to swell.

Aftermarket batteries are a crap shoot, but worth testing, if the only existing Mavic 2 used OEM batteries are all swollen. Buy one of each from several different vendors and try them out. Worst that can happen is they crash your Mavic 2, and then you have an excuse to buy a newer model with new OEM batteries.
