I have never had it happen and I have had Many DJI products

Never happened to me and I've owned 12 DJI drones from the Spark to the Inspire 1

I have never had such an event with my 10 DJI batteries, or any equipment that uses a LiPo battery. Apart from a spate of Samsung and I believe a few apple phones, I have only seen them burn or explode on YouTube when deliberately abused.

Not yet!

You need to stop reading forums

I've not had one explode or catch on fire. I have had one battery swell up and I immediately took it out of service, discharged it and disposed of it at a battery recycling facility. There is a video out on YouTube where a battery is sitting on a shelf in a drone repair shop and it bursts into flames (they were not working on the drone at the time), so contrary to what people say, it can happen if the battery is damaged. I store all my batteries in Lipo safe bags when not in use as a safety precaution.

Once with a battery of a competitor ....

Even Samsung have great experience in that regard.

I have a friend, who said he has a friend, who says his father had a drone.......

Amazing the YouTube people happened to have a camera recording at that moment.
Did I ever tell you about the tooth fairy...

I appreciate your sarcasm, but you really need to be enlightened. Here's some verified news stories to get you started:

Kezi News

ABC News

Boston News

There are also several news articles where it appears that the charger overheated and caught fire as well. A few more where the drone crashes, the battery shorts out and sets things on fire if you take about 10 minutes to look.

I had two batteries swell up and recycled them but no issues other than that.

Thanks; looks bad-there does not appear to be any damage to the bottom of the battery case where the battery rests.  Maybe it exploded upwards or sideways?

exploded out back of drone

M2P is my third DJI product, Formerly had Spark, after it Mavic Air, now M2P,. I haven't had  (yet) any problem considering battery.

Just had one tonight.
Not charged the battery for probably a year.
Started charging ok went to bed at 5% on the display.
Was well alight when I got down.

Photo on its side for some reason DJi battery fire

Nothing whatsoever, 1 1/2 years into owning a MA. If I fly in warm weather (> around 95F here in AZ) I’ll definitely get Data Controller Error messages and the batteries will also tend to come home quite warm to the touch, but that’s been about it so far. I haven’t even tried flying at >100F ambient temps; I figger that’s just just plain asking for it! Also, when it’s really warm out I’ll give the drone itself a fair bit of time (like 10-15 min or so) to cool down internally before popping another battery in for more flying. The MA definitely doesn’t seem to like being either too hot or too cold!

sorry, i don't buy that explosion thing..

but to be on topic:

no problems with my 3 m2p bats.

For the last two days, one of my three Mavic 2 Pro batteries has been turning on the drone right at insertion, and has been unable to turn off the drone at all. Otherwise operating normally, I decided to take it up for a test flight. All seemed normal except that it seemed to be draining power abnormally fast. I landed it with about 60% power left, but immediately smelled electrical fire. I pulled the battery out quickly and found that the rear-left side was beginning to deform from heat and beginning to do the same to the nearby place on the drone. I’ll be disposing this battery and hoping the drone isn’t damaged enough to require a replacement.

None yet and ive even punched holes in them to reduce swelling.

Oh, that's great recipe for getting blind or injured in many other ways ...

Yes.  But it means i now have 7 usable batteries instead of 0.

Yes, but imagine having 6 usable batteries and being blind or fingerless. Good story to chat about with a bartender, though ...

Or being sensible about how and where to do it and having 7 working batteries instead of 0, all fingers to operate and being able to see to operate it.
We're not dealing with nitroglycerine in a cocktail shaker here.

Hi, my Dji phantom 4 Pro+ v2.0 caught my room on fire in the case out of no where. It was purchased in 2020 but this happened while I was sleeping. This is unexpected from such a high level product.

Not an explosion but overheating caused the battery to swell popping the case.

I had it happen to me. FPV battery just cut out and my drone crashed found it a day later and battery was melted and sent it back to DJI for a replacement on both the battery and drone.

Sorry about the experience. This may happen when the battery is exposed in the rain or near a source of moisture.  If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, corrosion may occur, potentially resulting in the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion. Also, the battery should be used in temperatures within -10℃ to 40℃. Disassembling or piercing it in any way may also make the battery leak, catch fire, or explode. Have a nice day.

This was not a great experience I can assure you. Smoke and soot everywhere.
Luckily the house didn't catch fire! Be careful while charging your drones.

Hi Natalia.  Sorry my reply was intended for the original poster Paul.  I have no complains about my DJI packs with the possible exception of the swollen Mavic 2 packs which are known to have swelling issues.  The others were just old & spent.

Hi Dirty Bird, I truly understand. Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're happy to help. Thank you and have a great day!

Yes I just had one of the batteries explode just after flying the drone. As soon as I turned the drone off and pulled the battery from it. It exploded started shooting flames and black stuff all over my kitchen counter burning the marble and melted my carpet in my house. I had to grab the battery and throw it outside before it burned my house down. I have all the photos and a video of battery on fire and what it did. Who is going to replace my carpet in my living room now or fix my counter top. I'm going to seek legal advice if no one from dji reaches out to me about this matter.
