Alternative for swollen bebop parrot batteries

[birdstriker]

Hello guys!

Recently my cousin left the country and gave me a Parrot Bebop.

When I picked up the batteries I noticed that they were both swollen.

After a bit of research for replacement batteries, I found both originals and copies, but both always over $50.
As this is a Parrot that has been stopped for two years already with many hours of use by my cousin, I am not sure about buying original batteries.

Is there any alternative that might be more affordable?

I have used aftermarket batteries with my Bebop 2 with no problems, but they require a balance charger.

yeah don't use parrots old batteries they were good back then but lipos degrade. Those old ones will make your drone fall.
