Purchase Mini 4 pro batteries in the USA

[olderrookie]

DJI is no longer selling accessories for anything in the United States. I have a mini four pro that I purchased in November of last year. I have flown it for less than 10 hours so the batteries are relatively new. I’m afraid that eventually I will need to replace those batteries as I’m starting to use the drone much more and I’m curious as to where I can buy extra ones right now for future use. I only have 3 batteries rn.

They are refurbished. Refund available if not good?

DJI might not be sending things directly but there will still be sellers who can get things to you.
I just bought a second Mini 4 Pro, drone only, for the same price DJI was selling them for back at the end of last year. Seller is paying tariffs (if any).

I'll probably pick up a 3 pack of batteries too.
Batteries are available in the US. Lots of them.

I have a feeling that a lot of used RC2 controllers might be coming up in the next year or so.

Yeah looks like they have a warranty as well. Camrise is a reputable seller and DJI refurbs are actually pretty decent. Looks like they have sold thousands of batteries, they have others are well. Personally for my Mini 3/Mini 4 Pro it's extended batteries only.

Thank you Sir.

Sellers. People who supply other people with goods, in exchange for cash.
Ebay, for example. has a rating system. The higher the rating, the more reliable.

I know these batteries have a finite number of cycles, but don't they also deteriorate over time, regardless of usage? You might be defeating your purpose by buying extra batteries now for future use when your current batteries are used up, say in 5 years. Comments?

Are you asking if old stock, batteries in the warehouse, go bad over weeks, months, years, or probably decades?

Yes, or sitting on my shelf until my original ones no longer work. I don't know if this is a thing, but a lot of chemicals deteriorate over time, especially when mixed together.

Please do a quick google search on shelf life for batteries; there are various answers.

Yes, all batteries start dying from the date of manufacture, not the date placed into service. Most drone batteries are designed for up to a 5 year life and 200+ cycles, if maintained properly, whether used or not. By then, you will have most likely either crashed your drone or upgraded to a different one, requiring different batteries.
