So I read on facebook pages that it is advised to do an IMU calibration.
I just got the I1 yesterday. Did all the firmware updates, etc.
Today was the day to take it out for the first few short flights.
All batteries charged and I1 nicely sitting in the DJI case.
Take it to the car, drove literally a few minutes to the location close to my house.
Got the I1 out of the case and on the road.
Battery in, remote on, I1 on....out of travel mode. All components off.
Props on, turn the whole system on again. Bear with me...
Compas calibration done!
Next up IMU calibration.
Watched the video on youtube and followed the same steps. Went for the Advance option.
Pressed the key and red letters came on my screen saying something like this:
Inspire/battery overheated, please turn off and wait for 5 minutes and try again.
It was 45F....so not warm. I literally had the battery on for maybe 2 minutes...I think even less....
Overheating!
I restered the system, and went for simpler IMU calibration and got the message that all is OK.
Did a few flight without any issues...got 13 minutes out of the first battery and packed it up at about 25% left.
Posted this on Facebook also and someone suggested I talk to DJI online support which I did.
They weren't too concerned...
What I dont get, and I really haven't received a logical explanation...how can a battery overheat after 2 minutes being on...
Anyway....just FYI...
