When changing batteries, does the aircraft require a cool down period? Do the smart batteries require cool down before recharge. Another drone I had did, may have missed it in the manual.
And some will remove the battery from the ac after landing to help dissipate heat from both ac and battery. Does it matter? Don’t know.
That's good to know about the caution light. I know to cool down lipo batteries before charging but another drone needed cool off for 5 or 10 minutes before inserting another battery. Of course it doesn't have a fan or multiple vents like the mav.From my experience; a battery won't charge when it's hot. I found that our very early on with my Mavic Air. I was out flying, and went thru three of my batteries. Got in my truck to head to a new location, plugged in my charger (I have A/C built in) and while driving I looked over and noticed that the batteries were not charging. I thought I had really messed up but then, after about ten minutes they had apparently cooled enough and the green lights started flashing. I think, if I recall correctly, the charger light was yellow.

So letting the drone cool down for 10 minutes after a flight is essential before inserting another battery.From my experience; a battery won't charge when it's hot.

No ... there's no need to let the drone cool down at all.So letting the drone cool down for 10 minutes after a flight is essential before inserting another battery.
