It was 5 A.M when i arrived at the start of the mission which required me to climb a mountain. Before i started the climb i calibrated compass saw the DJI GO said temp below 15C need to pre heat batteries. I turned off I2, removed the batteries and activated the heaters. Just before we stated the climb i reinserted into the I2 the LEDS were still flashing at that time and the battery was warm to the touch. All good so far !!
When i got to the chosen place to film i turn on DJI GO and it said "battery heater" to my surprise the LED lights had turned off on the batteries. Had to wait with I2 turned on and the battery heater to kick in automatically but this time controlled by DJI GO.
I experimented once back home. If you insert a battery in to I2 with battery heaters "on" they will turn "off"
So lesson is keep them in your pocket until time to fly then insert and let the I2 be in control.
