Ehhh...I have no experience with refurbished. If certified in sure it's fine. Imo New batteries are kinda key... Faulty batteries can cause weird behavior... I seen it.. Sparky can drop outta the sky.

LIpos cannot be refurbished per se. That said, the add may refer to partially used, or batteries returned and determined not to be at fault. Occasionalloy a bttery is returned due to hibernation and is recovered after return. However, its not worth the risk.

Exactly, you're guaranteed to get a battery that's less capable than a new one but you don't know exactly how much less capable it is. And since they're only a few dollars cheaper than a new battery it's just not worth the risk in my opinion, cough up the extra few dollars and get some piece of mind along with your 100% new battery. Is it really worth risking your expensive drone to save $8? Not in my book.

Yeah, you're really right I just wanted to know what it meant only pure curiosity. but it's really not worth the risk of the coup I would go to the media markt near me. take batteries for 48 €^^
Thx for help guys see you

I stopped trusting anything from Wish. So, I would say don't even consider it.

Don't get old batteries , they can fall out of your spark because of the shorter clips they have , cheers
