On the heels of driving around today on a pretty hot day, I was wondering if you guys take any precautions or do anything about the fact that you could even go in to do say grocery shopping and come back to a VERY hot car. This is really bad for the LiPo batteries - and potentially very dangerous, isn't it?
 
Check out DJI's battery safety guidelines. Here's one of the points they mention about battery storage:

"DO NOT leave the batteries inside of a vehicle on hot days. The ideal storage temperature is 22°C - 28°C."
 
Why do you need to go grocery shopping before/after you fly? Go fly and come back home :)
 
When I fly my drone I make sure that is what I'm focused on. I do other stuff before or after my drone outing.
 
It gets pretty hot here in Tucson so I take a small cooler with ice packs and a LiPo bag. After each flight I put the hot battery in the LiPo bag in the cooler...
