The best DJI Mini 4 Pro batteries to buy as replacements are DJI’s own Mini 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery if you want to stay under 249 g, and DJI’s Intelligent Flight Battery Plus if you want the longest flights. Third-party 3850 mAh packs cost less but come with more variability. Here are seven options and the compatibility rules that matter.

Mini 4 Pro Battery Compatibility Checklist
- Want to stay under 249 g? Only the 2590 mAh Mini 4 Pro standard battery does that.
- Want longer flights? Any 3850 mAh Plus-type battery takes the drone over 249 g. In the US that means FAA registration; in the UK, the Flyer ID and Operator ID rules already apply from 100 g.
- Mini 3 Series standard batteries fit but reduce performance on the Mini 4 Pro, per DJI.
- Not compatible: Mini 2, Mini 2 SE, Mini 4K and Mini SE batteries use a different design. Mini 5 Pro batteries are a separate model.
- Charging: DJI’s Mini 4 Pro/Mini 3 series two-way charging hub takes both standard and Plus batteries. See our charging hubs for DJI Mini and USB-C PD chargers for DJI.

How to Choose and Use Mini 4 Pro Batteries
- Decide on weight first. Stay with the standard battery if the sub-249 g category matters where you fly.
- Don’t mix types in one session unless you know the flight time difference; plan return-to-home margins for each.
- Test new packs. Do a short hover and check the battery level and temperature in DJI Fly.
- Charge safely. Charge between 5 and 40 °C, never unattended, and store packs in a LiPo safety bag.
- Replace props with batteries. Heavier packs work the props harder; keep spares from our DJI replacement propellers guide.
FAQ
Which battery keeps the DJI Mini 4 Pro under 249 g?
Only DJI’s Mini 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery (2590 mAh, about 77.9 g). DJI says both the 3850 mAh Plus battery and the older Mini 3 Series standard battery (2453 mAh, about 80.5 g) take the aircraft over 249 g.
Can I use Mini 3 Pro batteries in the Mini 4 Pro?
Yes, they fit. DJI lists the Plus battery for Mini 4 Pro, Mini 3 Pro and Mini 3, and the Mini 3 Series standard battery for Mini 4 Pro as well, but with the latter DJI warns of lower flight time and propulsion performance and a weight over 249 g.
How long does the Mini 4 Pro fly on each battery?
DJI rates the standard 2590 mAh battery at up to 34 minutes and the 3850 mAh Plus battery at up to 45 minutes on the Mini 4 Pro. Both figures come from windless lab tests, so real flights are shorter.
Are third-party Mini 4 Pro batteries safe?
Some work well, but quality varies more than with DJI packs and they may report charge levels differently. Buy from sellers with clear return policies, test a new pack with short hover flights first, and never charge unattended.
Do Mini 5 Pro batteries fit the Mini 4 Pro?
DJI sells a separate 2788 mAh battery for the Mini 5 Pro and lists it only for that drone. Don’t assume it is interchangeable with the Mini 4 Pro.
How should I store Mini 4 Pro batteries?
Store them partly charged rather than full or empty, in a cool, dry place, ideally in a fireproof LiPo bag. Let hot packs cool before charging, and charge within DJI’s stated 5 to 40 °C range.
