Never mind. Found the other thread. It's for bestbuy Canada. BestBuy US wants $149. According to today's exchange rate in the US we are paying over double for the same thing.

We pay around the same - £108. But then a new P3P is £900+ (So $1,200)..

Best Buy will honor B&H photo price. They were $119.99 a couple weeks ago. I got my 3rd then.

For sale. A brick. $50. LOL!

Actually, the battery shell would still be good for those looking to salvage their non-DJI batteries.

How do u do that? Maybe I will buy a generic and do it

I have no idea. I personally wouldn't do it. The only reason those others want to is because they bought the non-official battery before DJI firmware started disallowing it. Even those people would probably not by a knock-off battery today.

I scored a P3P battery on Amazon a while back for $99. It was new in original box, definitely not a knock-off. But I haven't seen that deal anywhere since. Incidentally, while looking for it again on Amazon, I found this 3-way charger deal, but a little out of my price range!

Yeah............at 76 grand for a P3 charger

, I think it's outside my price range as well, for that price I would much rather get me a BMW, a Mercedes or a Cadi hahaha

(I know it's a price typo........ or is it?

Cool.

What are you going to do with the $18 you will save?

I mean, not counting the time you spend on it as well. which in my case, would completely nullify an $18 savings.

Not at Starbucks.

Anyhoo, you decide what you are doing with the brick (battery) ?

If you bought enough it might be worth a trip to Canada!

Or maybe some of our Canadian brothers could set up relief packages...
