[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 93864, member: 894"] Hello from the Hoosier Heartland, [URL="https://sparkpilots.com/members/zenfly.17878/"]zenfly[/URL] Good for you to take the time and research the Spark and it's history. I'm up to nine batteries of the old design and have not had any problems with them. At first, I just put them on like you are supposed to and all is fine. After reading a handful of posts about batteries falling off, I then jumped on the band wagon and purchased a [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=dji+spark+battery+clip&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiw4Kn96ZPjAhXLX80KHQxEBgYQ_AUoAXoECAwQAQ'][B][I]battery clip. [/I][/B][/URL]Cheap and effective. But I like using the prop guards when flying but they won't fit with most battery clips. So I found a [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/search/29404/?q=O+ring&o=relevance'][B][I]posts about using a rubber O ring[/I][/B][/URL] to secure the battery, and that allows the prop guards to be used. Since the weather has been nice the past few months, I have not used the clips or O rings and don't believe I'm going to have any problems as I do a [I]Plug n' Tug [/I]on each battery change, like it shows in the manual. I have been flying since July 2017 and all is well (so far). :) If you feel safer with an accessory, go for it, but it may not be necessary if the battery installation and removal process is done correctly.
