DJI Mavic Intelligent Flight Battery

These batteries are the standard for MavicPros. They work well, allowing flight time of about 22 minutes (in my experience) depending on wind conditions and flight patterns you are using. I have not been able to fly for the advertised 27 minutes, but 22 is not bad. You can easily get all the shots you need in 22 minutes of flying. Another thing to consider is that the "low battery" warning will start annoying you when you still have 5 minutes left on the battery. You can easily ignore this warning, but it's in your best interest to start your return flight home when this happens.

This battery is the same as what comes with the DJI Mavic Pro. You will need a spare because having only a 20 minute flight time is probably not enough time to get your video/photo set up, take all the video footage you need and be done. The second battery extends your flight time by double! Also, for the price the flight time is about the same as the Phantom 4 but costs less. Do not buy cheap chinese batteries because the drone may not accept it and could shut off mid-flight. NOT GOOD. the DJI original equipment should be bought for the DJI original Mavic Pro.

Having at least 1 extra battery for the DJI Mavic Pro is a Must if you really want to enjoy yourself flying. The maximum time on ideal circumstances of these batteries is 27 minutes, but by the time you adjust all the settings before takeoff and fight strong winds you're lucky if you get 18 minutes of flight time. Having at least one additional is absolutely necessary. The battery is light and compact, so it won't add much additional bulk, plus it's a smart battery so it will records lots of flying data that might be useful to have.
