So I received this battery with a parts drone. Does not look OEM. The LEDs are not as bright as the OEM and the writing says "Compatible with PH3 intelligent flight battery" (See attached pics) The model number says DL-UAV-DJ3'.

The battery does work in the spare drone and it works fine in the main drone I fly. It didn't ask for a firmware update yet so I asked the fella I received it from and he said it was done before he sent it to me.

Looked at the healthy drones battery info and did not see anything odd. It even has a SN and manufacturer-type info as the other OEM batteries. Telemetry looks good with nothing odd showing either. Recognizes it as a healthy battery.

I cannot find much of anything on this battery besides one website showing it as an OEM... but I still don't know.. Am suspicious as it has some different captions written on it and the LEDs are different. (not as bright and slightly duller green)

Any one have experience with this type? Not even sure I want to put it on the charger.
