If you own a DJI Phantom 4 drone—be it the Standard, Advanced, or Pro model—you likely know that the DJI Phantom 4 Series Intelligent Flight Battery is a key component that keeps you flying high. But here’s the catch: official DJI Phantom 4 batteries have become increasingly difficult to find now that DJI has slowly discontinued production. Fortunately, you still have options to keep your Phantom 4 airborne without breaking the bank.
In this post, we’ll discuss:
- Why the Phantom 4 batteries are in short supply
- The realities of buying second-hand or refurbished batteries
- How Dage Electronics can help with reliable third-party replacement batteries in Australia
Why Are DJI Phantom 4 Batteries So Hard to Find?
DJI shifted focus to newer drone models, resulting in the slow discontinuation of official Phantom 4 Series batteries. Retailers that once stocked them have either sold out completely or carry only minimal, hard-to-find inventory. This scarcity can be frustrating if you need a dependable power source for your Phantom 4.
Considering Second-Hand or Refurbished Batteries
When faced with discontinued products, many drone pilots turn to second-hand or refurbished markets. Here are some pros and cons:
Pros
- Potentially lower cost compared to brand-new official stock
- Might be your only source if you strictly want an original DJI battery
Cons
- Unknown battery health and usage history
- Risk of reduced performance or sudden power loss
- Possible lack of warranty or return policy
While you might find a genuine battery in decent shape, it’s a bit of a gamble. If reliability and peace of mind are important to you, a pre-owned battery may not be your best bet—especially for critical flights or professional aerial work.

Tips for Maximising Battery Lifespan

- Store in Moderate Temperatures: Extreme heat or cold degrades LiPo batteries faster.
- Partially Charge for Storage: If you’re not flying for a while, store batteries with about 50–60% charge.
- Use a Compatible Charger: Always use a charger designed for Phantom 4 batteries to prevent damage.
