Lol Poker, Same here. The number of batteries is defined by the number of available storage spaces in the case and one in the drone.
I have six batteries. None of them are extra or superfluous.
But I think that means I have 5 "extra"
So for the phantom 4 Pro that means at a conservative 20 minutes per battery it gives about 2 hours flight time with a comfortable margin.
Does not help for range of course,( not much point trying for range with the European radio transmission power limits) but it means you don't have to rush when you are trying to get a specific task done. After a firmware update you can waste a battery just messing about testing if DJI have put some unexpected, features, in there. Perhaps flying to or over the highest obstacle to measure its height and set a valid RTH height, general preperation before the "Take 1".
Would be cool if these things used fuel cells instead, 5 hour continuous flight time, lol.
What about aftermarket batteries? Anyone tried them? Half the price and nearly the same capacity.
