Falling out of sky ......
Personally - I could be wrong - but given that I know about 10 DJI owners with approximately 30 batterys overall. Near all those 10 incl myself have ONE original battery ... all the rest are 3rd party. NO-ONE has had any failures except one ORIGINAL battery ... we pulled it apart after it failed as a pack to find out all we could about the internals.
I am not proposing that it would lead to it "falling out of the sky" but I have heard and maybe just rumor of drones loosing power and falling out of the sky...that is the reference I am making. If that is unfounded than great. I guess I am just proceeding cautiously. I have only had a DJI phantom for almost a year and, knock on wood, no issues. That said I have only bought DJI original batteries, non 3rd party and none refurbished...I would like to save a little money if possible but not at the cost of my bird.
If you have had success that is great to hear...I haven't heard many people discuss this or their success of failure with refurbished or 3rd party batteries...which is why I created this post.
I am looking for advice, warnings, success and failures before I go one way or the other. |
