[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 99873, member: 10850"] Hard to think of ANY device I would consider inserting somebody else’s used battery in. I certainly wouldn’t put one in my car or boat or motorcycle. It’s just too critical of a component to cut corners on. Especially an aircraft that lives 400 feet above the ground. Hence there isn’t much of a legitimate market for used batteries in general. Many of them are counterfeits or damaged OEM. With the Spark you also have to consider the huge inventory of first generation batteries with the inferior clip design. While it is [I]technically[/I] possible to “refurbish” a LiPo battery the cost of replacing the cells and testing results would exceed the value of the battery. Therefore anybody advertising “used but refurbished” lithium drone batteries probably isn’t honest - it’sa shady marketing term. [/QUOTE]
