I work for UAVDirect in Texas. A simple explanation for the TB-48 backorder comes as a result from two issues. Trans-pacific cargo operators were too nervous to allow large quantities of said batteries to be air-freighted and as such, they had to be transported by ship. This took weeks to occur, and now the vast majority are sitting inside large freight containers due to the labor strikes at most major west coast ports. The few shipments that people are receiving now were offloaded and distributed to the closest dealers.
Protip: If you need them really fast, look up Coptershop, or call DJI, directly.
We're in the same boat as you. Pun... kind of intended
