Anyone out there have a lead on any 3rd party companies doing battery pack repair for Phantom 4 Pro batteries?  I have a battery that has been used only several times, properly cared for, that my Phantom 4 Pro says cannot be used for flight due to a ruptured cell.  I have only several flights done using this $ 169 battery and now it's trash?  Unacceptable!!!!  DJI service says I need to purchase a new one. Well of course they do!!!  At $ 169 that's some nice cash for a new battery, while I simply throw out the old one?  By the way the "defective" battery still charges just fine and can be used as a DC voltage source for charging cell phones, etc. with NO PROBLEM!!!  Seems like DJI needs to up it's game on batteries for sure.  Anyone have a source for cell replacements in these?  I'm all ears......

I've already gone through with that for your service department.  the battery is technically out of warranty.  It's 1 of 5 batteries all purchased at the same time and only this 1 has failed.  Looking for a 3rd party repair resource since DJI does not provide any battery refurb or service and would just rather sell me another $ 169 battery with a 6 month warranty.

If it has a ruptured cell wouldn't it have caught on fire?

I have two phantom 4 batteries that are completely dead (no LED lights whatsoever) after a long time in storage. I was just told by DJI that the repair would cost as much as new batteries??? This is totally unacceptable! These batteries were working perfectly well before I stored them.... Soooooooo disappointing!!!
