Hello dear forum,
  
  
first of all sorry for my improvable English.
  
  
I just want to inform potential new customers about a fact, I was not aware when I bought a mavic 2 pro incl. DJI care 13,5 month ago for over 2k € (so this is definitly no cheap toy).
  
  
After 13 month 3/3 of my batteries had been so severe blown up (deformed on the soft side), that they are even not mountable in the drone anymore. Each batterie was used around 50 times.
  
  
I tried to solve that problem with DJI. Their constant reaction is: Normally around 200 charge cycles are guranteed. We are sorry about that, but you are out of the guarantee period and we are sorry but we can´t help you.
  
Its true, that I am 1,5 month out of the gurantee. BTW I never used the DJI care service for anything.
  
Its also true that I always used the batteries in the given boundaries (temperature, charging and discharging … etc)
  
So the conclusion for me is, the price per flight you have to pay is : outrageous
  
For me its 3 batteries x 50 flights = 150 flights
Costs per batterie = 139,-   Cost for 3 batteries = 417 ,-€
  

The result is: 2,78 € per flight – according to the kilometers this is more expensive than driving a 8 liter giant US-car !!
  

To lower the cost per flight for me I asked dji to make me an offer for 3 new batteries for a “better” price that 139,- €. Their reaction again: We are sorry about that, but you are out of the guarantee period and we are sorry but we can´t help you.
  
I am very very disappointed about that customer care ……
