Vivitar DRC888 Skyview Drone Battery

If your searching for these batteries I found 10 in stock at the E Come store on Amazon. Purchased 4. 6 more left as of Saturday 3-6-2021 good luck they sell fast

it came on time and in good shape!

It's a great item. Worked great and great price. Thanks, very pleased with it.

These batteries are great for the drone they last longer than 10 minutes and to the guy who said he charged it for 3 hours and he flew it check your instructions you charge the battery for 5 hours maybe that's why u drone wasn't running that well and got 10 mins lol I've timed them longer than 10 minutes and take your guards off and your legs off you'll fly a lot longer less weight those guards are 40 g 40 grams is a lot of weight up in that air you don't need it take it off longer flight times

Item was not factory sealed. It was placed in a bag and mailed. I am not sure if it is used or new.

So you know Im no kid with a toy. i will be 68 in May, and will celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary in June. i guess im an old man with lots of toys. i have a few dozen drones (only my wife keeps count). The Vivitar Skyview is my go to, pleasure and stress busting drone. ive owned 8 and still have 2 that i fly.. i have repaired, rebuilt and improved these drones and know everything about them. i also have over 50 years experience in electronics with a thorough knowledge of LiPoly batteries. i received these batteries 2 days ago. upon opening the shipping envelope, the first thing i noticed was the batteries were already swollen. Filled with gas. This occurs when used incorrectly, or when stored for long periods without maintaining the minimum 3 volts per cell. Testing revealed one battery in the millivolt range. it would not except a charge. The less swollen battery, showed an overall voltage of 5.9 volts. it took a charge however , its performance was not as new. I guess if you enjoy drones or need power for other devises, this might not be a source to rely on. These batteries are considered hazardous already, but once they have out gassed, they should never be shipped.

swollen, non functional

Battery will not charge

One battery will not accept charge..

terrible product there is no way to charge this directly to the drone, I need to unplug the battery just to charge it. Then the drone its hard to sync to the remote, the remote is just a waste of 2 AA battery it won't last long. I need to sync the drone all over again. Not worthy wasting time and money
