DJI batteries and temp readings

[RickMz]

I posted this before but it became a "how to control battery temperature discussion.
Are Air batteries supposed to give temperature readings? I have four batteries and, when I load flight data to Airdata, only one posts readings? The one shows a high temp of 132 degrees, the other three all show 32 degrees (default?).
Do I have one "bad" battery or three OR, is there a flight time minimum before temps are reported? Is it an iOS vs Android issue (on earlier, Pre-CS flights I did get readings n SOME of them)? An older vs newer (my Phantom 4 batts don't have the problem) drone issue?
Thanks for your help.

Could it possibly be a problem with Airdata?

To make sure the batteries are at least transmitting telemetry correctly, put each battery in the drone and see what temperature the battery is in DJI Go 4. Then power the drone up and see if the reading changes. It should increase as the drone gets warm.

Regardless if the problem is the battery or the app, the app is reporting 32F. Is there another way (other than Go4) to check what the battery is reporting? IN another forum I was told both that it IS and IS NOT and android issue and that iOS reports correctly. However, an android owner said he always get readings.........

Don't think so. I'm a paid subscriber and the issue doesn't seem to be consistent.

Ive got thousands of flights logged with Airdata as an Android user, no battery anomalies.

Try a different device and see if DJI Go is reporting 32°

If your app is reporting 32°f and you take a temp gun and the battery is 79° then the battery is 79° and th app is wrong

I'll give it a shot.

Just download your logs in .CSV format
Open that file in Excel an search for battery temperature.

CrystalSky GO4 does not report that value to the logs

You receive something like this:


If you are running the same aircraft, battery, etc with an IOS GO4 - you find:

From Airdata
Checked one battery, one flight. ALL 5450 records show the same (32F) temperature.
BTW, the Top Altitude data on Go4 summary screen is also hosed (for all my drones). Just thought I'd throw that in also.... LOL
