GIFI Batteries - Defect or not?

Hi all,

I received 2 GIFI batteries today from Amazon (Carolina Drones is out of stock) and noticed that the inside of both batteries moved around up and down within the housing/casing.

Has this happened to anyone before? I think just to be safe I am returning the batteries.

Yes.
I've seen this a time or two myself. I even opened one to see what was up.
As you can expect, it's just what it feels like. The battery is a touch smaller than the case and sometimes we get one that actually moves a little.
It doesn't seem to affect the battery in any way and I use mine as normal.
Good luck and happy flying,
Jafo
 
LIPOs naturally "breath" during charge and discharge. (This is not the dreaded swelling)
Those batteries may have had rough handling. By all means though, return them if you don't want to use them. I have 3 GiFi batteries, no problems. Tell you what: ordering something fragile that ships from Amazon, call it a gift, even though it's coming to you. No extra charge, and they will put it inside another box.
