Living in the UK, I've just looked on eBay U.S. for an idea on cost of batteries there. It seems not a huge difference $170ish each. I'm actually going to D.C. next month. Anyone know if there are walk in stores in D.C / MD to buy Phantom stuff?

I live in NYC so I don't know about D.C. My impression is that a walk-in for DJI stuff is rare.
You might consider ordering from B&H and having it shipped to wherever you are staying in D.C. Because it's out-of-state shipping, you wouldn't pay sales tax and the shipping wouldn't cost much. They have a free shipping option but with that option the delivery date would not be precise so you'd have to have some flexibility in your receipt date.

New Clone DJI Phantom 2 Battery, $73usd
Has anyone tried this new Phantom 2 Clone Battery, $73bucks a pop, definitely much better than the $160 dji one's, my buddy ordered a couple to try out and before I pull the trigger I want to see if anyone heard anything about them, it looks completely different to the ones banggood were selling that I heard were bad and Nuke says is compatible with the latest dji update.

I received mine Friday, and having ordered it 13 June, took almost exactly a month to arrive in Atlanta. I haven't had time to fly it yet, but the design, fit, finish, are pretty much identical to the DJI version. Going to order a second one today.

I have also lost out here. $337 for 4 batteries, ordered about 3 months ago. No response. Nothing! Also Paypal says their claims service expires after 45 days.
I'm not sure if NukeRC is a deliberately fraudulent website or maybe it simply went bust and took my money in the process.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/e55f8d49/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/e55f8d49/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

I just received my second battery from Nuke RC on Friday the 15th and sure enough, it was about a month to get it just like the last. Interestingly, I ordered two of those doohickey multi battery charger connectors and that order arrived in only two weeks. I wonder if their shipping method is not working in your respective countries for the batteries? I did notice today while being in the US Post Office that there was a sign on the wall stating that it was a crime to send certain dangerous items through the mail, one of them being lithium batteries.
Anyway, I hope that you two receive yours because the quality is quite good. Anyone else having trouble? Seems like about a month to get one via US Postal Service.

Interesting that you got yours recently. I will resurrect my attempt to get these! They haven't answered any emails I sent which made me think they were dodgy. I'll keep knocking!<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/3413d3b0/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

Amazingly my 4 batteries have arrived out of the blue, 3 months after ordering them.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/70a97a82/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

Congrats. I've got two, and had no problems whatsoever. The multi battery charger is a bit of hit or miss at the moment. 2 batteries at the most, and if they are really drained, only one. Probably because the stock power supply (black brick) cannot supply enough juice to simultaneously charge all batteries. I am going to try another P/S, but need to make a cable. Just need to not get over my head with watts, amps, voltage, current, and the like. I like my house

Sad to see the end of the P2
I started this thread 17 months ago and I still love my P2.
The original battery has flown 68 flights and is still going strong (see video below) despite a few hiccups with low battery warnings. I believe the solution is never to fly with a partially charged battery and I now ensure I have a fully charged battery before every flight.
My P3 is on order
