Well, I didn't abandon the drone: I sold it for the best price I could get as a used drone with two malfunctioning batteries. Which is sensible, not extreme.... IF I was going to sell - which I did - this was the time to do it, and for the best price I could get while providing full disclosure...

Hello El Dedos: I posted original thread; can't provide any more conclusive info except what I experienced. I went to official vendor and shop where I purchased drone, they gave me velcro strap to keep batteries from popping out of chamber at great height (doesnt solve the bulging issue...

I agree, I think you got shafted; I may have as well. I live in SE Asia, also quite hot here at times but I think within DJI's 'official' temp guidelines. Even so, the batteries are rated at 200 recharge cycles - anything below 50 is a real anomaly and disappointing. Either it's a bad batch...

Mine were (are) 7 months old as well, a batch of two, with less than 40 flights each. They don't stay hot many hours after flight though, your seem to be a bit further down the road. I too was disappointed in the fact that they started puffing so early, with basically normal use. By the way, i...

Sorry to hear about your battery situation; sounds like there may be a few bad batches of batteries floating around. There's nothing to do but contact DJI, if it's under warranty they will replace, but if not under warranty - if even a few weeks over warranty, as with mine - they will not...

Hey, just want to let you know I'm also based in the 'tropics' with higher than normal ambient temperatures (and a hot season before rainy season). Similar to you, BOTH of my Mavic 2 zoom batteries are slightly puffed with under 50 recharge cycles normal use and no hot storage etc. Just letting...

I know, that's rich, right?

They've only been fully discharged when I deliberately spun them down for the recommended periodic full discharge/recharge process. Critical level (for me) with autolanding is set at 15%, I have low battery warning set at 25% and usually land right after. Unless we have to handle them like...

Hmmm. Then it's really odd that both would bulge at the same time. I'm thinking now it could be a manufacturing/process error with the batch. Which sucks for me....anyway, thanks

Just posting this to see if anyone else had this occur: my original battery and a spare both started bulging slightly just AFTER the 6 month warranty mark. Normal use, only around 40 recharge cycles each, never dropped, never stored in hot places. Is it planned obsolescence, a bad batch at...
