I had this same issue after returning my Inspire and RC for repair.
One caution - I learned that every time you press the battery power button (one quick press) just to check the charge status of a battery, you reset the auto-discharge timer in that battery. You need to let the batteries sit without checking charge status for at least 10 days (or whatever # of days you may have reset the power cycle timer to), and they will go into auto-discharge cycle. Without knowing that I was resetting the auto-discharge timer, I was checking the charge status on my 4 TB48 battery every few days and they all remained at 100% charge after 3 weeks! None of my batteries have swelled, so I hope they are OK when I get my Inspire back from DJI repair.
I believe the auto-discharge only takes the batteries down to 50%. If you have a friend with an Inspire, perhaps they could fly with each of your batteries to take them down to 25%-50%.
Unfortunately, you will be without your Inspire for a couple months. I crashed my Inspire on 4/4, shipped it UPS on 4/13, it was received by DJI on 4/16, it was checked into Zendesk on 4/23, received repair estimate on 5/18, payment made 5/18, payment confirmed 5/19, now waiting for repairs to be performed. Then there's the return shipping. . . and waiting for a non-rainy, non-windy day to test it after it returns . |
