Plus Battery Compatibility with Mini 5 Pro

[Jan Smith]

I tried putting the Plus battery I have been using in my Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro in my new Mini 5 Pro. I found that if I put the 5 Pro in Normal mode and accelerate, I get a "Battery Overcurrent" warning. That goes away when I slow the drone down. The battery is a refurbished OEM DJI-branded one I bought on eBay, and it works flawlessly in the Mini 4 Pro. If I fly the Mini 5 Pro with the standard battery I have been using in both older drones, I get no warnings. The eBay seller insists that the Plus battery is not compatible with the Mini 5 Pro. Has anyone had any such issues? Thanks for any responses.

DJI has a NOTE (near the bottom) about this on their battery compatibility page:

Different battery specifications in the same shape battery case. A recipe for disaster. There was a thread on the DJI forum where someone ran out of mini 5 pro batteries so put a battery in from either a 3 or a 4. It didn’t end well for the drone.
