Extra P3 Battery?

[Dounin Front]

Hi everyone,
Thought I would share my experience with you.
I've been using only one battery for the last year and a half - probably because I figured it would outlast the P3. But everything is still operational and the original battery life is now down to 71%. (This information is still displayed on the Litchi app even though the Go app has removed it. The cell voltage variation is still very close however, but I know my run time is a little less.
I ordered a new battery on Amazon the other day because the price has dropped to $102. They claimed it was DJI.
Sounded too good to be true so I waited till I got it to tell you about it. It is in fact a DJI battery in their packaging. I put it in my P3 after charging and it was recognized and updated to the newest firmware. Litchi app shows its life at 100%. So now I can say I got a good deal (Amazon Prime too, with 3 day shipping)

Happy flying.

Nej. Har bevakning på Blocket med sökord DJI. Såg annonsen och kontaktade honom efter 1 min. Hade tur som fick dessa då det var många som hört av sig redan. Men nu har jag 4 batterier... Säkert bra att ha.

Absolut! Har ett piratbatteri,dock så kostade det 1000kr,men funkar felfritt. Tänker dock hålla mig till original i allafall,har ju läst om några som fått problem med pirataccar

Any of you watching this thread and have a Fry's Electronics near you they have reduced their Dji P3 Intelligent flight batteries to $89.00, which is a heck of a deal to me!

Wow. If they are still making the profit, I guess what could be the profit margin on original prices of about $148

Who cares what their profit is, just know its good for me!

Is there a typical life span for a phantom (perhaps the motors)? Is it right to assume that if you take care of it, like a car, it'll run for a long time?

I just checked two of their stores online, and they both list them as one 149.99. Do you know if you can only get the deal in the store and they don't show the price online?

I have also wondered this, I use my P3 very regularly, but I take care of it and have wondered how long it will live for, excluding enemy trees taking it down

Yup. Like the OP I also just have one battery. When I do fly its normally just a battery's worth of flight time so I have not yet justified buying an additional battery. If they were cheaper, then I'd probably have a couple but at the current price its a decision.

Not sure about online, but we have two Fry's Electronics in Houston. One near my work and one near my house. Both stores have them for $89.00.

I'm lucky enough to have quite a few interesting flight routes I can take right from my house - hence needing only one battery - but if I took road trips more often I would definitely want more than one battery. Now with my OE battery life down to 71% and the price down to $102, buying another is a no-brainer (for me, anyway).
