Guys check out my post.
Cheap batteries in the UK.
Why buy copies when you can get originals at this price.

DJI did an update that checked for DJI batteries and if a knock off was detected it gave the error, "Non-DJI Intelligent Battery Detected. Aircraft Flight Prevented.
Wait what? So dji can shut down all knock off batteries whenever they want? And they already did this once before?!Their corporate greed structure will not make them lower the price to compete with 3rd party batteries, they will simply add more firmware tests and shut the birds down again.
I've got to thinking about how different the USA and Asia operates on behalf of pirating software. In Asia it allowed... completely...DJI is just protecting themselves from what they are known of in grate strides. Or they would have the market flooded with knock offs at every level....hell we would even be able to fix our own equipment (that we own) and replace it with better, lighter and far superior electronics that would be competing for our business...why?! It's called modding (improving)...and development that does not require a complete upgrade (p3a/p3s/P3pro....P4)....I get it....do you?
I must be the only person in the world who thinks that it is reasonable for a manufacturer to want the consumer to buy their consumable products.
Yes @JoBe , DJI can render all of the third party batteries useless at any time and without notice.Wait what? So dji can shut down all knock off batteries whenever they want? And they already did this once before?!
That means anyone with those knock offs could have a pile of useless batteries at ANY TIME with no notice! That doesnt sound to me like a smart risk.
LiPo's are LiPo's ..... the specs come down to basically 4.2V and 4.35V per cell configs .... DJI chose the 4.35V HV type.

Cars are cars. They all are the same because they have 4 wheels and have to fit the same roads. The specs come down to them fitting the road.
Same argument, different subject. Does it make sense? No. Neither does yours.
Specs have squat to do with reliability.
Aye, you're fine Wolfie, we use both, as both originated here in Blighty...More power on ya for saving a few bob (or quid or whatever you Brits call a bit of money).

Personally, I disagree with your thought that if enough people stop using DJI batteries they will lower their prices. In my estimation, not happening. If they were far down on the drone totem pole and not the world leader on it, maybe, because they would be hungry for more market share. But they are at the top and they didn't get there by playing nice. My forecast is that if enough people turn to 3rd party batteries, they will fix that via firmware, and now with everyone happily moving to the latest firmwares with require forced upgrades, they gocha by the canastas.
Remember, all these firmware updates are for your protection. Right? No.
