Powerextra Mavic Pro Battery, 11.4V 3830 mAh LiPo Intelligent Flight Battery + Battery Safe Bag Replacement for Mavic Pro & Platinum & Alpine White Drone (Not Fit for Mavic 2)

Works Perfectly

I bought 3 of these batteries in August 2020. Only used a couple of times. Stored them uncharged. When I recently got them out, two of the three were puffed up. Third would not charge. Too expensive for a drone I don’t use that often. Will not buy them again.

I wanted to do this test outside and at 10m hovering, but a freak April snow storm didn't allow this. So I did the test in my garage door closed. Both batteries have 2 flights on them and they both were only allowed to be drained to 30% then charged with the mavic pro platinum charger. I was honestly surprised by the results because in the test flights I found both batteries up to the task of powering the Mavic Pro Platinum.Results are as follows:Powerextra battery 23:32 before the drone auto landed at 10%.Mavic Pro Platinum battery: 26:02 before auto land at 10%.Many of you will stop reading now, but I urge you to keep reading!Both batteries started at 100%. You should calibrate your compas before every flight to I calibrated the with the DJI pro platinum battery then the Powerextra battery was put on and the pro platinum battery went back on the charger so it could be tested from full.I had to babysit the test because of the drone being in my garage and I have a few observations. The Powerextra battery kept the drone in a more stable position in my garage. The drone required less input from me to stay within the specified area of the garage. Very little drift with both batteries, but the difference was noticeable over 20+ minutes. The proper way to test this would be to record the manual adjustments, but that was not the test. I put a dot on my garage door for the test and kept the drone 6' away and 3.9ft in the air and the dot was always in center frame.The RPM on the drone tells the real story I believe. Both batteries have the same rating so they should perform the same, right? With the Powerextra battery the rpm on the drone varied from 500-510. With the pro platinum battery 490-500. I am not a dji developer so I have no clue why this is. It's just an observation I wanted to share.If you have a Mavic Pro Platinum and you paid the extra $200, at current prices, for the extended flight time you're going to want to spend the extra $30 and get the platinum battery from DJI.I may redo this test if I have time and want to kill both batteries and waste an hour of precious time... So this may be updated with a second test, but I see no reason the results will change. I also may still keep this battery, but I will not be buying a second battery because I own a pro platinum... Well you can see the results and I spent the extra $200 so basically this battery turns my Mavic Pro Platinum into a quieter mavic Pro.Reccomend buying and testing yourself if you have a Pro, but if you have a Platinum.... Just buy a Platinum battery unless you're good with saving $30 and losing the extra 2:00 flight time.I just read a review where they weighed the battery and it was 20 grams heavier. Perhaps this is the difference in flight times. The battery does provide the "advertised" flight time so for that reason I still give this battery 4 stars! This is a value, value, value! Just understand what you're getting before you buy it and honestly if need the extra flight time... Spend the extra $30 and get the DJI battery.

Charge your batteries every 3 months during off season/storage is strongly advisable. Beyond 6 months without charging, your risk of having bad (permanent) batteries increase significantly (oem or aftermarket). These batteries (oem or aftermarket) have monitoring circuitry builtin. They self discharge to about 50% (and stop there) if the batteries are not being used for about 1-2 week. The purpose is to prolong battery life.HOWEVER, these circuitry continue to consume a very small amount of power and would eventually depleted the batteries if left unattended. Once these batteries drop below 9.6v, they are very likely become bad (permanently).

Does not work at all! It’s been on the charger since they dropped it off and still nothing waste of time

Excellent battery's, but you have to keep an eye on the charge state of them. DO NOT let them sit for the winter like I did. Neither one will charge now as they both went dead in storage. Its pretty sad that the intelligent battery's can turn into bricks in storage. My original DJI battery was bad before even flying it one time. My drone sat for a year before I even tried it out. This summer, both my Powerextra battery's wont charge as I did not check on them over the winter. One never flown, the other 3 flights. Now I just re-purchased another Powerextra and will check on its state of charge over the winter.With that said, I would recommend these battery's, just make sure to keep an eye on them when in storage, just like you would with the DJI's. Great battery's at a great price and fit my Mavic Pro perfectly. Will buy again!

****IF YOU ARE TORN BETWEEN BUYING DJI OEM or Powerextra PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW****They sent me a battery for my Mavic Pro that didn’t fit securely on the left side. I could easily pull gently up on the battery WITHOUT pressing the quick release and the battery would come up from the terminals on the left side(NOT SAFE!!! I’m not trying to have the battery come loose in mid-flight and lose my drone)Contacted customer service and after a week they sent me another NEW battery WITHOUT ANY HASSLE. Pre-paid shipping back to them, all I had to do was drop it in the mail box.The NEW replacement battery fits like an ABSOLUTE GLOVE! Flight time and voltage levels across all three cells are normal and literally within a tiny margin of being almost exactly like a DJI OEM battery.Everything this day and age is made on an assembly line... I get that. What sets this company apart is their commitment to making their customers happy flyers!!

UPDATE; April 2024 battery swelled on last charge. I still have one original DJI battery that still works as good as the day I bought the drone 2017. Either I was very lucky with original battery or very unlucky with this battery.Battery manufactured 10/2020, I have used the battery twice both times I got over 25 minutes flying time in 5 to 10 mph wind at 45 to 50 degrees. The battery looks different than a DJI and fits a little snug in a Mavic Pro Platinum. The outer shell feels like it is not as sturdy as a DJI battery but it is half the cost. I would buy again and recommend this to anyone needing a replacement battery. I try to keep 4 batteries charged and ready for use all the time.
