Exactly like the thread title says.  How many consecutive (as in land, throw in a new battery, and take back off) have you run?  Any problems? Possible overheating?

I have run Nine TB 48's till fully charged until I reach 40% then I bring it in for the storage of the Batteries, this is approx. 15 plus  min of flight time, I have had no over heating issue and the Bird performed as expected.

Quick tip - if you have a heavy foam case for all of your batteries, as you go through each one allow them to cool a bit (or as much as possible) before putting them back into the foam and shutting the lid. It's easy to not do this, as you don't want these just lying around, getting dirt on them, etc... but it's better for the battery if it gets to breathe a bit.

This is a good tip that could lengthen the life of your batteries especially if you fly in hot conditions frequently.  However, be sure to discharge your batteries per DJI recommendation every 20 discharges or so.

5 - 6 batteries per session.  I let them fully cool before charging and I'm checking them with an IR Thermometer just for the fun of it before charging.  They stay hot pretty long.  Today my pilot app was reading 57.1c at 30%.

Ran on 9 batteries straight, back to back flying, it was about 2 hours of film. On the 9th battery (TB 48), she turned off. Upon impact, the MicroSD card cracked in half, and destroyed all the day's footage (horrible feeling) when the bird fell from its 300 ft hover for no reason. DJI reps on the phone say there is no info regarding why the drone crashed... It took them 10 weeks to ship me a replacement... I had sent in the damaged bird, which was in about 200 pieces (debris field was surprisingly large). I only fly MAX 2 batteries back to back for two reasons: 1. I think the Inspire IMU burns up after too many consistent flights, and 2. after reading other posts on this blog.
Still nothing from DJI re: cause, just glad no one was hurt!
And for those who haven't seen a bird fall from the sky, I promise, it's breathtakingly horrible.
