For those of you that are experienced with Drone's and batteries for them, please comment below to my questions (towards the end of the video). Hey @JeffSibelius any tips. Thanks !
Hey Andre - this is a fascinating topic! I've used 3rd party batteries with Yuneec drones and had mixed results, in terms of battery longevity. I tried a couple with my old Q500 and they didn't last but a few months. I did a review on one for the Typhoon H and it was great - it lasted as long as the Yuneec brand battery and it kept working for a long time. I've neer used one with a DJI drone. DJI's batteries are much more advanced than Yuneec's . . . will the battery be recognized by the Go4 app ? What if there is a firmware update on the battery - will that update apply to the 3rd party battery? If athe battery fails and I crash, would DJI be able to tell I was flying with a 3rd party battery and maybe void my warranty? Those would have been my initial concerns. That said, the batteries you tested haive good reviews on Amazon, your drone isn't still under warranty, and how likely is it that DJI will do another firmware update on the Mavic Pro?> Had I been in your spot I would have done the same thing you did - buy them and test them out. I guess I would suggest to anyone getting these batteries is to to what you did - stick with a battery that has good reviews and test them out carefully before trusting them at 400 feet or out above water. Even if these batteries don't fly quite as long or don't last as long, you're getting them for essentially half price. If these continue to work well for you, I may just try a 3rd party battery for the Phantom 4 Pro - the DJI batteries for that drone cost $200 each!
About an hour ago I was flying my drone home from a route I have done many times before and the battery started dropping like a rock. I had to make an emergency landing and fortunately I was able to recover the drone using GPS coordinates. I've had the drone pretty much since the mavic came out so I guess the batteries are quite old now so I will replace. The other issue I am having is while the drone is very fast initially when I take off and fly away sometimes when I'm up and out it slows down a lot and sense there is a problem with the front forward sensor.
My personal opinion since DJI offered this product for sale and it does fly above the public they should offer new batteries continually for safety. I bought the DJI mavic pro Platinum and Nowhere on the box does it say you should fly this only for 2 years and you have to buy a new one and we're not going to support it anymore. They have a responsibility to supply reliable and safe batteries
I just bought two rebuilt batteries from DJI which I suspect there are brand new. I have not flown them yetI will let you know how it goes and the next couple days.
Those two rebuilt batteries that I bought have build dates of 5 months earlier than my original mavic pro Platinum battery. They show no charge cycles on the app and they seem to performe the same I believe that they are brand new batteries they have no charge cycles on them either they absolutely have no scratches on them they came in a unopened box . I bought them from the official DJI rebuild store/eBay store I've had no issues flying been so far . I feel more comfortable flying official DJI gear this time.
I got Mavic Pro Platinum for about 6 months now (Purchased Brand New). 11 Hours fly time in total. 4 batteries - each about 7-10 cycles. Self - discharging trigger set to 2 days. No problems so far - Each battery gives me about 24min +/- fly time. Always landing when battery is on or above 20%. Never used battery in warm weather conditions (i heard that kills them the most, outdoor temperature and sunlight but not sure about it and will check it myself now due summer time). Time will definetely come and i will have to replace these, but my friend reached about 120 charging cycles on his drone (MP1), and his batteries are just fine! (Fly time reduced by 2-3 minutes but that's natural). I think if you will look after them and do not store them fully charged for long also wait for the batteries to cool down before charging (after flying), then they will last you long time. Important bit - you should never put them into charge just after fly. Batteries should cool down a bit. On another hand if i will be pushed to buy new set of batteries - i will definetely purchase them off from DJI. I would never risk by using 3rd party propellers or batteries, that is something i would never do. Its that kind of hobby where shortcuts should be avoided at all costs. (Its like buying motorbike for 10k $ and helmet for 20$).
These batteries are notorious for failing like that, the best way to sort them out is to cut out a slot in the front disconnect the board and plug in a balance charger, that usually does it and brings it back to life.
Where can I buy the little plug that's inside the battery, I measured the plug and bought some from ebay, but were the wrong type, do you know the correct type ?
@@tonybeale2608 ah buddy i wish i could help you with this! It was a general one from a lipo charger that i had, long gone by now. Hopefully you find a solution
I haven't flied my mavic pro for a year, took it out today and ALL 3 batteries are dead. Led 1 blinks twice per second 16 times and nothing for 13 seconds, then repeat. The charger hub led was red. safe to say I am pissed. What the heck, DJI?
O bought a Magic Pro Platinum. New in the box. It has been in the box 2 or 3 years! The batterys showed one lead each. The one on the Mavic charged immediately, the other 2 are dead and even after leaving them all night on the charger they did not charge. The light on the charger is orange with the 2 battery and green with the good one. I have seen many videos on DJI dead batteries and none of the tips worked. Hope DJI will replace them.
I bought my mavic pro fly more combo in the spring of 2018 and just opened it the other day (Sept. 23rd 2020). I had no idea of this battery issue and the importance of opening it sooner to maintain the batteries. I plugged the batteries in to charge... all 3 are junk from sitting. I contacted DJI and they wouldn’t do a thing for me to resolve this issue. They (DJI) wouldn’t even give me a cost to buy other batteries from them because they don’t make them anymore. So I’m basically stuck with a brand new mavic pro platinum fly more combo package that I spent between 1k-2k and can’t even use it. If they build a product like this, they need to make sure the consumer knows that these batteries will expire if not used by at least labeling the box. Good luck Carlos... sounds like we’re in the same boat regarding this issue.
i have the mavic pro platinum,.... 2 dji batteries.. and 2 after market.. havent used the drone in a couple years.. stored one dji battery in the drone.. and the other 3 in the case.. the 2 after market batterys all swollen.. and the dji batteries were ok but then i put them on the charger.. blinking light.. so they are dead also.. so it dont matter if you store the battery in or out of the drone.. they die all the same
I have the same battery issue. Found a way to make it still work though, I have to let the drone warm up to over 30 degrees C which takes about 15-20% of the battery. Once it is warm enough I turn off and on the drone again & it can then take off and fly with no battery warnings. So I have to let it warm up for like 10-15 mins before it can fly Update: After a few more tests with my drone it does not seem to be temperature dependent with the above 30 C aspect. I turned on the drone at 100% charge and let it drain down to 92%. it then worked just fine after booting back up.
Wow. I haven't touched my Mavic Pro in a year - it's on a shelf. Just checked, and the battery is still in. Doh! Time to check it out. Thanks for the tip, and yikes DJI! Ah...no, batteries may be old. Ouch!
WORTH IT OR NOT? I spent nearly $2Gs on mine with all the extra goodies, and have flown it like 5 times. Still need to make the time to get with the program or sell the darn thing. I haven’t even researched where it would be OK for me to fly here. Wow! Bringing to LV? Nice.
Kevin - The Basic Filmmaker : In the DJI4 app, you can check for NFZ (no fly zones) for anywhere in the Country. I’m not going to fly down the strip, but go just outside of town and fly around the desert. I’ll be texting you later today :)
Easy, just try to always land your drone before the battery goes lower than 30% and don't keep your batteries fully charged for more than a couple of days. Just set the self-discharge timer in the app to 3 days instead of 10
I have mine set to discharge in 3 days and have never gone below 30% battery. For some reason now the cells are charging unbalanced in these 2 batteries. I saw someone comment about patching into the front of the battery and force each cell to charge, but I'm not messing with these batteries as with my luck it will result in a boom :)
@@WORTHITORNOT Yes, sometimes those "intelligent" batteries are really stupid... If there is even a little voltage difference between the cells it stops working. I have saved so many standard lipos for my racer quads and they still work fine
I found that DJI doesn't sell Mavic Pro batteries anymore. My batteries are starting to swell. I have them set for auto discharge after three days. I've got last time I checked, I had about 70 charge cycles on each battery. I've had the drone for two years and it's done me very well. I'm super happy with my MP Platinum. My channel has a lot of videos made with the MP Platinum. @machinegundroner
How do you feel about these batteries now? I just bought a new in box mavic pro and the aircraft battery will not charge. DJI no longer offers batteries for this drone so I was pretty much forced to buy 3rd party batteries. I found a product with good reviews but let’s be realistic. I do not trust them. I will post an update to let you know how things go. Appreciate the info and tips
My last 2 DJI batteries failed at 7 months with same issue, both duff after firmware update and only 10 and 12 flights on each. I’ve lost faith in the quality of the cells they use and how old the stock is when you buy them. My original battery is fine and all were maintained as per advice, which convinces me it’s a quality issue with my newer two.
I am worried about this issue too. I have 3 batteries one suffer from imbalance cell and yes, DJI has already stopped production for MP1. It’s a shame really.. hope they authorised 3rd party to produce drone batt
I have three batteries for my spark, two of which I purchased about 6 months ago. They are all DJI batteries and for now I have no issues. I am not sure if I plan on buying anymore at this time if the FAA regs go into effect and their is a deadline. I might buy one more, just not sure... :(
Yes the new proposed FAA regulations can/will really hammer us flyers unless everyone tells the FAA our thoughts on their ideas and not to hinder our ability to fly and have fun
I subscribe and like already. I'm new in drone stuff I got from my late father last week. I didn't know there is 3rd party battery for Mavic Pro available until I watched your video. Thanks so much for your review! :)
Would like an update on these Powerextra batteries and if they still work for you. About 1/3 of reviews on Amazon are negative. Could you pull out the Mavic and give these a go?
Hello, Thanks for doing this video!! A number of others have done similar YT on these batteries, but research into the feedback has been a mixed bag. Some have had bad luck right out of the box and others have had some problems a short time later. I'm writing to ask you what your experience has been to date? Also are you able to locate the Mfg for any needed replacement? Many thanks, Jack
Hi! Sir that replacement Battery for mavic pro its okay to use coz i know their have no production for the battery of dji so i look for battery and i see that replacement in from Philippines thank you
For what it's worth [In my opinion] be very cautious purchasing "new anything" from Amazon anywhere - I purchased two different "advertised and sold as new unused" photography equipment items which proved to be used and definitely not new! Both items were purchased about circa 12 months apart and (coincidentally??) both items came from Amazon Germany! Despite having photographic evidence, Amazon said I FIRST had to pay the exorbitant fees to return these items to Germany for assessment and if they agreed they would refund! As the fees to return were almost the cost of each individual items (Circa US$100.00) - and the minor wear scuff marks on each item was not functional to the items operation, I told Amazon to 'stick it right up where the sun don't shine' and immediately cancelled my account and will never deal with Amazon again! Buyer Beware!!!! Cheers.
Well mine are about five years old and they are now not much good because out of the three that came with the flymore pack there is one that says battery error on the remote control and the others are starting to swell so definately have to be replaced but I am seriously thinking of going the whole nine yards and buying the orignal batteries ,don't know if it is the right thing to do at this time but I guess it is a chance you have to take when it comes to batteries they are very unpredictable but honestly I would feel a little more comfortable with the orignal batteries ,that is just my feeling for now but that might change cause money is farely scarce right now.Anyway if the non proprietary batteries can work then give it a go cause you might just find out that they may be just as good or better than the originals ,who knows ?any battery can give trouble at a moments notice .Take care and have fun in this beautiful hobby.
From my understanding, DJI is no longer making NEW Mavic Pro batteries, all the ones they have are old/new stock. These 3rd party batteries work just as the originals.
i think there is a problem with the first Mavic Pro batteries, very fragile. I have one pack that refuses to charge after several months. After 1-2 years, it is bloated. anyways, thanks for the video and it may not be worth buying a new batteries if I should fly a drone in the US in the future, instead, buy those under 250 gram models.
This is why I am not too fast to purchase anything from DJI again cause they don't support you after 3-years or so when it comes to batteries ,can't even find the third party batteries either ,none on Amazon , now tell me something ,can anyone say this is fair to us, that thousands of Mavic pros were sold by DJI and now you want a battery ,they won't even support you because they are selling newer drones ? they force you to purchase another drone, so they will not support the older ones .I was always saying that DJI are not nice ,they are TRICKSTERS.
I have the Mavic air and is starting to have battery problems with one of the batteries. It says it’s charged then when I start to fly it it comes up right away that the battery is at 0% and it goes into emergency landing procedures which is real scary. Anyone else having this problem with their battery. Three of my batteries are about almost 2 years old and then I just bought one new. But these batteries are expensive hundred bucks apiece at least and that’s like super discount super deal. I hope batteries don’t die with in a year and a half to two years it’s fucking pretty lame. But back to my question anybody else have this problem and do they know why it’s happening?
It’s ridiculous that such a great drone is useless without batteries, Magic Pro is very expensive but a a waste of money without replaceable batteries. They don’t last long anyway. I think this is a major ripoff.
WORTH IT OR NOT? Thank you for your time. I wonder if it still works like in the Phantom 3 times, where you could use the battery controller with xt60 and ballance lead

From my understanding, DJI is no longer making NEW Mavic Pro batteries, all the ones they have are old/new stock. These 3rd party batteries work just as the originals.
@@WORTHITORNOT thanks for the headsup,I will definately be reconsidering my actions in the future ,thanks again and take care.,
i think there is a problem with the first Mavic Pro batteries, very fragile. I have one pack that refuses to charge after several months. After 1-2 years, it is bloated. anyways, thanks for the video and it may not be worth buying a new batteries if I should fly a drone in the US in the future, instead, buy those under 250 gram models.
Thanks for sharing
This is why I am not too fast to purchase anything from DJI again cause they don't support you after 3-years or so when it comes to batteries ,can't even find the third party batteries either ,none on Amazon , now tell me something ,can anyone say this is fair to us, that thousands of Mavic pros were sold by DJI and now you want a battery ,they won't even support you because they are selling newer drones ? they force you to purchase another drone, so they will not support the older ones .I was always saying that DJI are not nice ,they are TRICKSTERS.
Have defiantly been interested in a drone. So many to chose from. Thanks Andre….😂
I have the Mavic air and is starting to have battery problems with one of the batteries. It says it’s charged then when I start to fly it it comes up right away that the battery is at 0% and it goes into emergency landing procedures which is real scary. Anyone else having this problem with their battery. Three of my batteries are about almost 2 years old and then I just bought one new. But these batteries are expensive hundred bucks apiece at least and that’s like super discount super deal. I hope batteries don’t die with in a year and a half to two years it’s fucking pretty lame. But back to my question anybody else have this problem and do they know why it’s happening?
Hopefully someone can chime in for you.
i ordered a couple of these batteries lets hope they are good
They were 2 years ago and still should be
It’s ridiculous that such a great drone is useless without batteries, Magic Pro is very expensive but a a waste of money without replaceable batteries. They don’t last long anyway. I think this is a major ripoff.
Do you know a source for the mavic 2?
The Mavic Pro 2 or Mavic Air 2?
WORTH IT OR NOT? Mavic 2 Zoom/Pro 👍🏽
@@dronevan Sorry, didn't find any
WORTH IT OR NOT? Thank you for your time. I wonder if it still works like in the Phantom 3 times, where you could use the battery controller with xt60 and ballance lead
Man your voice!! you should read in books or something. good video
Thanks for the compliment
@@WORTHITORNOT You do have a great and instructive voice. Definitely radio, podcast voice.
Does this battery fit mavic pro 2
No, you have to look up batteries for the Mavic Pro 2 specifically
TQ sharing
All 3 off my battery, s are puffed
If they're puffed/swollen then don't use them at all and dispose of them properly.
