Inspire 1 in the box Battery Query

[JamesSpringPilot]

I looked closely at my battery that came with the Inspire 1 and thought I should mention this. They say watch out for any kind of bulging. My battery looks perfectly fine on all sides but is not perfectly a flat surface on its bottom.

Is that ok? Is that a concern?

I've had it less than a month and this is the way it looked out of the box. Thought I'd mention this now than later.

I will post a pic or two to illustrate my observation.

Same on all of mine and I've got 8 of them

For comparison, here is a bad TB48 Inspire battery, which is swollen. See this link: http://www.unifourpeds.com/images/BadBattery.MOV
In this short video file, note the swelling of the case with obvious trapped gas.

DJI promptly replaced it at no charge, because it was in the warrantee period. I still have 7 fully functioning Inspire batteries.
