Hello community;

Recently I realized the batteries of my drone are getting too hot and also find out the bottom part (where the label with all technical information is located ) is a little bit inflated.

Is that normal or I need to replace the batteries?  Is there a way to check if the batteries are healthy enough to continue flying ?

I'm including a photo with the bump in the bottom

Appreciate any advice

Do not charge! This should be disposed immediately. If the thing bursts, there is a lot of smoke and fire. Store in a fire-proof container until disposal, if possible not indoors.

I'd get them outside ASAP.  Before they blow.

Depending on the number of flights, and care, 3 years is pretty good.
