How to Check a DJI Battery from China Before Buying

Quick answer

Match the exact battery and aircraft, seller and invoice, visible condition and any safe observed status. Unknown storage remains unknown; never use or charge a swollen, cracked, leaking or damaged battery.

What should match before payment?

Start with the exact battery model, the compatible aircraft, seller identity, invoice and the physical item shown. A copied label, code or similar housing cannot answer all five questions.

Buyer question	Evidence to request	Decision boundary
Is it the exact product?	Exact battery model, label, intended aircraft, seller images and invoice	A similar shape or box is not compatibility proof
Who is selling it?	Seller identity, payment recipient, acquisition trail and written terms	A marketplace badge is not provenance
What is visible?	Housing, contacts, latch, label, swelling, cracks, leaks, deformation or damage	Exterior evidence cannot prove internal health
What can be observed?	Where safe and available, current aircraft/app recognition, warnings and seller-observed status	One reading cannot guarantee future capacity or service life
What is the stop rule?	Documented abnormality and the current manufacturer/support route	Do not test by charging a visibly unsafe battery
What is the purchase route?	Delivery, return, compatibility, inspection and support terms	No assumption about an unwritten outcome

What does visible condition tell you?

Inspect the housing, contacts, latch, label and visible signs of swelling, cracking, leaking, deformation or impact. Ask about storage history, but treat an unknown answer as unknown. Exterior appearance cannot certify internal health.

What observed battery data is useful?

When safe and available, keep the seller-observed aircraft or app recognition, warning state and relevant battery status with the exact item record. It is evidence from that moment, not a promise of future capacity, endurance or service life.

When must the decision stop?

If the battery is swollen, cracked, leaking or damaged, do not use or charge it. Isolate it and use current DJI support and the applicable local handling route.
