I may have my PayPal account all set. How do I know this, would be a legit deal?
I doubt he found OEM batteries on amazon for $65.
I had a friend give me one of those and it was aftermarket and wouldn't even turn anything on.
Not OEM
Can't be much of a difference. The reviews look pretty good. But I'm the new guy here. Just started flying the dji. Whatever's recommended, that's what I'll buy I guess...thanks.Not OEM
Those non-OEM batteries won't work or let you power the Phantom on.Can't be much of a difference. The reviews look pretty good. But I'm the new guy here. Just started flying the dji. Whatever's recommended, that's what I'll buy I guess...thanks.

Awesome man...thanks for everything. Let me get my finances in order...as today was payday..hahaha..it goes quick!! And I'll get back at ya. I understand the oem part of this whole thing. I never understood what it meant till I googled it and listened to you fine fellows. Again, I'm new to all of this and this phantom means allot to me. I only wanna use the best and what is recommended. If you still have them in a few days I'll holla at ya. Thanks again everyone who responded to this. It's a learning process and you guys helped me alot. Thanks...Tony & Budman - Appreciate you guys sharing your perspectives to help Kev out here.
Kev, as I mentioned in our PM, there are definitely cheaper 3rd party options -- which you've provided 2 examples. Reviews are always a sufficient starting point when evaluating the quality of a particular product. However, when looking at the reviews for the Wasabi Power brand, I wouldn't say those are exactly great reviews --37% 5-star & 27% 1-star. Personally, its kind of sketchy to me when I see 5-star reviews "GREAT BATTERY!!" along with seeing 1-star reviews that mentioning an less than favorable experience. However, if you feel you still want to explore the 3rd party option, then I'd suggest you go with the second link you provided -- better reviews. By no means am I saying that you absolutely have to use an OEM/Authentic battery, however I do recommend OEM whether you purchase it from me or find it cheaper elsewhere.
Think about it this way, you've already spent say 500 (or less) for your phantom, so why put 3rd party option in it and risk losing your drone and/or money spent on the battery? Looking at this objectively, I see you're willing to pay $66 shipped for 3rd party option, over buying an OEM one (with 4 charges on it) for $80 shipped. If you've gotta an extra $15 bucks laying around, OEM is the route. If not, 3rd party is always an option, but I've never heard anyone really having battery issues with OEM ones. Regardless, I'm not telling you what to do man, just trying to educate you because I see you're new to the scene. Good luck Kev!
Ok bro. I'll pm you. You've got 1 sold if the offer still stands..Sounds good, let me know!
