Hey all,
I found this in my search for a new battery for my Phantom 2:
http://www.limefuel.com/pages/product-a ... e=SuTJ9ORc
It's a 6,000 mAh battery from Limefuel. It's available for pre-order directly on their site for $99 at the link above.
The 5,400 mAh version (which I bought and just got delivered today) is available on Amazon for $99 (Prime Shipping!!!)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M7F ... IH3OTWS26V
They are both the same price, but only one is available now. I pre-ordered two of the 6,000's, and ordered the 5,400 that got delivered today only because I needed a second battery for tomorrow.
I've briefly tested the 5,400 and it worked fine. Tomorrow will be the more extensive testing. From the Amazon reviews, I have seen that all the reviews have been good, except from those who bricked their battery by trying to install DJI firmware updates to it. Simple fix: DONT install DJI firmware to the Limefuel battery.
As Limefuel explains someplace, the copter can have all its firmware fully upgraded, and the Limefuel battery WILL still work fine (tested that much this afternoon). One need only skip the BATTERY firmware update.
I will let you all know how it performs after tomorrow's flight.
Best,
Rob
