One cell dead definitely a faulty battery. Stop using it. Recommend you contact support and have it replaced if still under warranty.

I once had a battery error while flying in sport mode when flying at full speed. Brought her back, changed battery, fully charged error battery when home and checked cells and battery itself for any damage, bulging but none at all. Not had the error since. Voltages and everything else in the green so may have just been my flying at the time. I was out with a buddy and we were racing each other at the time.

An update,
I have done as DJI asked, discharge the battery and charge up twice, But the issues of broken cell is still there. Next steps taken case opened and battery on its way shortly to DJI.
I have to say DJI seem very fast to get that ups label over to you :-)

Since the battery is out of warranty, what are they going to do for you.

Not sure it has only been charged 29 times now, I have DJI care so I am hoping they replace it or fix it.

Double check, if they exchange it under care refresh, they probably will charge you the care fee. you would be better off just outright buying a new battery then and save the care refresh for a bird replacement if you will ever need it. just a thought. read some place here that had happened to someone.

Update
Well that was worth sending the battery back
The battery is being replaced free of charge,  and my DJI care has not been affected.
I should have the battery back next week.
Thank you DJI
