Depends on what is replaced / refurbished ...

You cannot resurrect LiPo battery cells ... once they start to lose power - that's it. Nothing can be done.

But if the board or case is damaged - that can be sorted ...

Personally .... I would be extremely cautious of any repaired LiPo other than for example where a wire has been soldered back etc. I do this quite often where balance lead gets tugged of ... buts that about the limit.

It is interesting how they fix them in China but it is a risk to fly over people and buildings on this China made   battery

Sorry but many 'not original' batterys are perfectly fine as many people know.

But I would certainly not be risking 'refurb' batterys !!  Unless it was actually replaced Cells in a used case / board ... even then I would be extremely wary.

....... to be expected response.

DJI make good profits on their batterys and support items.

Ask BMW ... Volvo .... Mercedes if any 3rd party items are good ....

Anyway - Recycle is not same as Refurb .....

IMHO - don't touch refurb batterys.

The fact that the add claims the batteries are refurbished by DJI, but DJI says don't buy them makes me suspicious..

Personally not worth the savings vs the risk.
That savings could very easily cost you your drone..
Look for coupons and sales or buy a battery here and there if budget is tight.
I see it this way.... If you can fly a Phantom ($$), you can buy a real battery.
