I am finding my 4 year old P3A batteries aren't getting the flighttime they used to. Battery down to <30% at 12:40 flight time with lots of hovering. Is there a good deal on new batteries? Or must I buy from DJI to be assured decent quality?

Thanks
Steve
 
You cannot buy new DJI P3 batteries any longer. There are 3rd party batteries available. I recommend FlyHi batteries, they have the best reviews and I can confirm they are as reliable and function exactly the same as DJI batteries.
 
PowerExtra is also good. Just buy from a source like Amazon where returns are easy if you get a defective battery.

Looks identical to the one I bought, but then I suppose it would, ? and about the same price.

What sort of guarantee dod you get with the "refurbished" battery? Wasn't aware one could refurbish a LiPo as it is a chemical reaction inside the battery and that "wears out" after time? Surely they can't empty and re fill with the electrolyte?

no what they do is check each cell and replace any that need replacing
 
So they replace one duff cell but the other three have already had the usage of the duff one so what sort of guarantee do you get?

I've also always been curious where the 15.2v comes from. as a 4S, 4 cell LiPo will only give you 14.8v ?
 
DJI Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned DJI products that undergo DJI`s stringent refurbishment process before being offered for sale. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, before we put a DJI Certified Refurbished product up for sale, it undergoes a rigorous process to make sure it meets DJI's high standards.
 
Quite understand but I repeat, what guarantee do you give these "refurbished" products? The same as a new one? You can do all the tests you like but the cells are still "old" hence my question about the guarantee as I am also looking for another battery.
 
I was dubious about buying this battery from B-Sky but before I bought the battery I wrote and asked what if I found there was somethig wrong, they replied no problem we'll replace it but didn't give a time limit, I've had this one for 5 months now and have had no problems with it, I also asked on this forum before I bought it had anybody had any problems with DJI refurbished batteries, nobody had.
my 3 original lipos are all exactly the same as the one I bought including all the writing on the battery
on all my OEM batteries it's stated,, max charge voltage,17.4v, nominal voltage 15.2v.
Model No PH3-4480mAh-15.2 v
I suppose some batteries are old as they don't make them any more but as the blurb said some had been returned hardly used, in fact the one I bought had no charges shown using airdata but this might be because when they refurbish them they wipe out all previous info, I just don't know but bottom line is I'm really happy with the purchase and the price

if your concerned about a guarantee why not write to B-sky and ask
 
Huh! Recently had a cataract op and went for follow up test last week and the the optometrist was amazed that I could read the bottom Line on the test chart! Apparently only the second person to do that so my VLOS is G O O D ????
