Hello all, I've been going through this forum but can't find what I'm looking for, so, I'll ask my question. Can the high capacity battery (5870mAh) be used in a Phantom 4? I really don't feel like blowing something up. Thanks in advance!

You can run into issues if you are not on the latest firmware, which in itself is a can of worms

Perhaps we need to create an online petition?
Because just like Tim Allen, we all need "More Power"!! Hahaha

Thanks to the answers above, and yes, it can compatible with all Phantom 4 series including Phantom 4. But note that you need to update the firmware to the drone's version first.

Put the firmware on the sd card, into the drone, to update the flight pack, yes...

If you place the battery in the drone, the app should tell you if it needs to be updated.

Sorry, but you are already here on the DJI site.
You need to go to the main page, find your particular model, them tap Downloads.
What drone are you wishing to update?

Yeah, you need to update the firmware with the high capacity firmware before you truly use the battery.

OK, so the first time I put in my new high capacity battery, fired everything up, and got the message that I have the current firmware. So I am assuming that the new battery is good to go......correct?

I think the DJI lingo on the screen of "Inconsistent firmware" is seen if the battery needs an update.  Otherwise, should be good to go.
