DJI Spark Intelligent Battery - Black

This is a review of a battery that we all should know what it is expected to do. So what I can I add to add value to what you don't already know about a battery? Probably little about the battery; however, what I can add is some experience about buying an actual DJI battery and a knock off. This original battery has a longer flight time and continues to hold the charge expected, unlike a couple after market batteries I have tried. My recommendation, don't try the knock offs. Stick with the real thing and you will find you are money ahead in the long run. Highly recommend this battery.

A must have for the spark because of the 15min flight time. It’s a dji battery so it fits properly. Only ting about it that was hard to figure out was that the battery is a smart battery so it has firmware which will most likely be out of date so you have to update it before the spark will use it. You have to put battery in spark then plug spark into a computer then run a program that you download for free off of the dji web site. Run the program so it can scan the spark for updates and it will scan battery to and update everything for you.

I probably got about 15 - 17 mins of flight time with the battery that came along with the Spark. 15 minutes will be long gone and is a short window to capture awesome footage (at least for a beginner like me!). I need the extra time to pan around and find a great shot. I bought two more batteries and it's been worth it! Obviously longer flight times and more fun overall! Make sure you check and update the battery firmware at home before heading out to fly, a pending update did not let me fly once.
