WARNING! May Damage Motors!!
By Graham Laing
First off, the DJI Phantom prop guards are a must, especially if you are flying around people or objects. Well made product, easy to install.

WARNING: If you remove the prop guards, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE PROP GUARD SCREWS! The screws included in the prop guard are longer than the stock ones and will damage the motor. I learned this first hand, hopefully I can save someone the time and money from not making this mistake.

Not designed for Phantom 2
By Matthew A. J.
The Phantom 2 has longer prop blades than the original Phantom rendering these Prop Guards useless on the new model.

Get a Set!
By Scooter
If you are as klutzy a flier as I am and are tired of ripped up props, you need a set of these. They add some weight and that affects flight performance a bit, but my props are living much longer and happier lives with them than they did without. They make the Phantom easier to see at altitude, too. DJI should include them in the box with the Phantom!

Only a 1C charge rate -- there are better options
By Kirby Miller
These are identical to the one that came with the Phantom. I bought three more before I realized there were better options. If you are using the standard (SLOW) charger that came with the Phantom and don't mind waiting so long for a charge then these are fine.

Otherwise I strongly recommend the Hyperion batteries (specifically made for the Phantom). Those will charge at a rate of 6C !!! and are also 2500mA (more capacity than this 2200mA battery). They can also be charged with your standard charger until you can get something better. I use a Dynamite Prophet charger and charge 4 of the Hyperions at once at 8 amps each! That means 4 2500mA batteries charged, balanced, and ready to fly in about 30 minutes. That charger is pretty pricey, about $265 but worth it if you use it a lot.

The Hyperion batteries are only about $35 each but I don't think Amazon sells them. Not sure. I got those at a local hobby store. I don't use these standard Phantom batteries any more. I just keep them as extras if I go on a trip.

________________________________

UPDATE:

Actually all the Hyperions I have bought are now puffed (some after only one or two uses). I am definitely not overcharging them, or over-draining them. Only thing I can figure is that I have stored them fully charged, which I know you are not supposed to do, but sometimes I charge all my batteries, go out on a trip and only end up using one or two batteries. I'm not going to discharge all the batteries when I get home. I just don't have time to deal with that. And all my original DJI batteries are stored exactly the same way (fully charged) and still function as new so I have gone back to those for now. Definitely looking (again) for something better but not so sensitive to being stored at exactly the right voltage.

will do but has a low charge rating & high priced
By An Engineer
There are better yet cheaper options its a matter of looking at the specifications. To find a match we must look at ...

* 3 cell LiPo requirement
* 2200 mah at least
* 20c discharge rating at least
* XT60 connector
* same size and weight

Here is one that will do the trick and has a faster charge rate of 2C. No modifications and a direct fit for around $20:
Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack HobbyKing RC Battery

A faster charger would also be important, one that can support a 2C ratting which means one that can support 2C x 2200mah = 4.4 amps like this one:
Fast LiPo Battery Balance Charger - 40 Watt - 4.5 Amp - 1 2 3 or 4 cell batteries - Connectors included for the DJI Phantom

or if you have a need to charge multiple batteries at the same time check out this charging station:
40 watt fast LiPo battery balance chargers (x5) with carrying case for the DJI Phantom batteries

Happy Shopping!

great for my Phantom
By Jeremy
I bought 6 of these and they've performed wonderfully. I get about 8 minute flights consistently and am quite happy with them
