But the DJI manual says to only use DJI batteries...doesn't it?
Since this thread discusses batteries, I thought it might be helpful if I were to share and recap some of the information I learned from other forum members on various threads here over the past 8 months. Some of these are counter-intuitive so it's good that we have these forums available to us and so many members that are smarter than us and willing to share their knowledge!
- You are guaranteed to crash if you use non-DJI batteries
- DJI will go bankrupt and fail as a company if they are not allowed to sell ALL of the Phantom batteries that people want to buy - at $150 each.
- using non-DJI batteries causes a greater likelihood that any crash will land on and seriously injure a person - most likely a child.
- when using non-DJI batteries you are 12 times more likely to crash land in a school yard during recess as you are to land anywhere else. (This is somehow true even on weekends and during summer vacation.)
- only people with low-IQ's that don't understand how warranties work would even consider using a non-DJI battery
- it is impossible for any company to build a better battery than DJI
- when a DJI battery fails, the drone drops out of the sky straight downwards, but when an aftermarket battery fails, the drone flys away and is drawn to the largest congregation of people within a 7 mile radius and will crash into the center of them
The scariest thing is that only one or two of the above "pearls of wisdom" are completely made up by me. The rest were either implied or stated explicitly to be true by one or more of our fellow pilots....
