Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but apparently Limefuel will be offering a 6000mAh battery at some point.

I don't know anyone from the forum that was brave enough to try them, so I guess I will be the first one.
I will be purchasing 2 and should have them this or next week.
Once I have them, I will make a comparison video of hover/flight times for everyone to evaluate themselves.

So you took the leap and bought the Onbo ones? Let me know how they work out. I just got my Limefuel 5400mAH from the US yesterday. Looks like a good quality and charged up fine and bird/app recognise it without issue.

I haven't ordered them directly from the manufacturer, but I will be ordering them from a European reseller once I get delivery costs confirmed.
Yes, I decided to take the risk, too many stories about failing DJI batterries which leads me to believe, that the aftermarket ones may be as good as or better.
Also, one thing that the supplier told me (which is quite logical anyway), is that DJI does not specialize in making batterries - in fact, those are crap batterries and they fail very often. Companies as Onbo, on the other hand, focus on making batterries and in his experience, no customers had problems with Onbo but during the time he sold his Onbo batch, a couple of failed DJI batterries returned to him.
Anyway, I will let everyone know more once I get them.
un hombre said:Limefuel is not upgradeable with DJI firmware but it does not make it incompatible to use and fly with?
un hombre said:Yep, let me just reiterate what I found out and put in another thread:
I have been notified by a seller of Onbo batterries, that Onbo do work with the updated Phantom software no problem. The same should be the case for Limefuel, as it is being confirmed.
The only thing you should do is DO NOT UPDATE NON DJI BATTERY FIRMWARE! You can update Phantom, PCB software no problem, however only update DJI battery firmware, obvioulsy do not update Limefuel, Onbo or any other aftermarket battery firmware.
A youtube video showing Onbo being compatible with new firmware should be on youtube today.
