New to drones... batteries??

[Chip]

Hi all.
I am totally new to drones but got the bug from a friend recently after he got his dji p3. I however went for the typhoon q500 4k. I got an excellent deal on a bundle package but there is only one battery. I have heard that there are updated smart batteries available for this drone but just can't seem to get much info on them. Does any of you guys know if they are available and where to purchase.
Many thanks for all responses

There are several brands of aftermarket batteries for the Q500. EBay and Amazon list most of them.
They aren't "Smart" batteries. That allows other manufacturers to produce them at a reasonable cost. It also means you can use aftermarket chargers to charge more quickly and to put into storage voltage.
