Over heating battery

[aerialscapes]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with an over heating battery? I get it with just one of my Mavic 4 Pro batteries and wonder if it is a fault?

Thanks!

Are you flying "aggressively" if so, Don't do that! lol. If not, YES its a fault and I would stop using that battery now ALSO stop charging it.

What is your definition of overheating? Is it a specific temperature?

I have, yes.

One of my 3x batteries that came with the Creator combo, triggers a Battery Overheat message. Only that one, funnily enough.

I am sending in my Mavic 4 Pro and the batteries for inspection anyway, due to issues with it, and have asked them to inspect the batteries in particular.

Strange, never had this issues with my AIR 3s.

Hoping to get some clarity over the next few days when DJI receives the drone and batteries and inspects them.

I had a battery for my Matrice M30 throw a code for a faulty temperature sensor. It still worked fine, but I sent it back to DJI who immediately replaced it with a new one. 112 deg F sounds really normal for a drone battery in use. Maximum operating temp for my M30 is 122 deg F. although I see that the max temp on your M4P is 104 deg F.

My faulty battery started bringing up warnings at 102°F and despite slowing down, the temp climbed to 112° and the power was restricted.
My other batteries went past 102° with no issues and went to around 112° without complaining.
When I saw that...

The battery was replaced by DJI

Thanks. I am flying how I always do, which is mixed, sometimes sports mode. The other battery hasn't given me a warning under similar conditions whilst this one has twice now. Strangely the outside temps are much cooler now and flying in the same way had no issues when it was 20 degrees C warmer outside, which is why I think it is a fault rather than my flying.
I got the warning twice in the last 3 times flying with that battery so based on these flights are no different than a usual flight I do, and the weather being cooler if seems like a fault that has developed.

The warning goes away when I leave the drone hovering for 30 seconds.

I have had the drone since launch and this is the first time I am seeing this warning flying in Hong Kong with very hot summers.

I get a warning and it tells me to stop flying so it can cool down.

Thanks, I will contact DJI and get it checked.

Fly the "Faulty" Battery in any mode but sport...Does the error appear? if so You have a fault. If not you are simply Pushing the drone hard in Sport mode.

Keep in mind flying in hot air is more difficult fir any aircraft that alone could cause an overheat.

The air was cooler than I have been flying all year so it can't be that.

Hope this is not a large issue the M4 battery as they are no longer available here in the US and DJI has no warranty support here.

So far with the 3 I have this message has not shown up.

US prices have also shot up for anyone with remaining stock. Typical.

B&H sells them for a reasonable price:



They are on back order now, not sure when and if they restock

 

[Paul2660]

Been out of stock at B@H for months. Don’t expect to see them back due to recent FCC restrictions.
