Hi, I'm new to the forum and to drone flying.
I hope someone can help. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong part of the forum.

I have a Phantom 1 with dead batteries and would love to get it flying.

I have thought about market batteries: Aliexpress. But they are PH2 Batteries.

Does anyone have any experience with these batteries and know if they are backward compatible?
I would also welcome any recommendations on whether this is a good idea or not, before i buy them.

I am based in New Zealand. Any assistance would be gratefully recieved.

Thank you in advance
Rick
