Does the first charge of new battery need to be done in the aircraft? I can I simply put them on the charge brick?
I Had no issues with charging the batteries for the first time in the charging brick. Just be sure you plug in the dedicated charging cable from the charger. Many folks made a mistake by trying to charge the batteries using the supplied USB-C cable plugged into the charger. That is used for the controller only.Does the first charge of new battery need to be done in the aircraft? I can I simply put them on the charge brick?
I misstated this badly.... I meant, that they should be charged using the original charger without the multi battery charger attached. Mavic 3 and Mini 2 can be charged with the battery inside.

Perhaps I am overly paranoid, but I store my drone batteries in an ammo box. Fires are rare, but not unheard of.Iwant to thank everyone for responding here..
I have a followup question.

As Saladshooter mentioned, the Air2 was the only drone that had the issue with first time battery charging problem.
No issues with the M3 batteries.

Some time ago, I amused myself by looking at Youtube videos using the search term "Drone crashes". One of the clips showed a drone crashing to dry grass, which caught fire rather quick. Of course, when you fly a drone, you must have a battery in the drone. I am only addressing your words "punctured on purpose".How many lipo fires are there?
