I'll trade you one of these for two of those.

That's what happens if you don't cool to room temp before charging it.

Just to note-

To "update" the batteries I did the aircraft update via the SD card method, as per DJI's suggestion, but there is no beeping from the bird, "da-dada" confirmation, or visual prompt in the app. Either the battery update process doesn't behave the same way as the aircraft update process, or these batteries came with FW .16 installed from the factory.

You can verify this by checking the Log in the MISC/LOG/ hidden dir on the card.
(you must enable hidden dir access in your OS)

Thanks Blade. Hidden TXT file displays:

result: cancel

Also, the app does not prompt to update the battery, as the instructions say it would:



I'm assuming it's detecting the aircraft FW and canceling the install process, which is writing the hidden txt file. Battery FW must be up to date if I'm not getting the prompt.
