Does anyone know why this would happen?
I've flown DJI drones for the last 4 years and have never seen anything like this happen until now.
I flew on Thursday and all went well, but when I got home and wanted to charge the battery, I noticed that the battery was stuck inside in the Phantom and tough to get out. I managed to get it out in the end, but noticed that it looked like the pins from inside in the drone and the battery had melted together (see pics).
After a quick Google I can see plenty of threads and images with similar issues, what causes it though? I know a loose connection can sometimes cause issues with plug sockets in a wall, but I personally always make sure the battery is in tight (it's a habit now from my P2V+ days when I had an incident where a battery was slightly loose and the drone warned me it was loosing power while flying), so I wouldn't think that should be the problem.
It's really worrying, if this had happened sooner into the flight, potentially I could have lost the drone or it could have caused a fire or severe accident.
Very worrying.
