Hi everyone,

Today, I flew like any normal day, I came back home, and started to recharge my batteries...
But then I realised a detail on my nearly 1 year old P4 pro battery : a crack (a stress crack?) on the bottom of it (see pictures just below, on the BOTTOM part of the battery)

To be clear : I never dropped my battery, and it didn’t swell (I believe it what you say when a battery is growing), I just realised that after I plugged it on the charger.
It’s possible that it’s been there for a while, and I never realised it, but I’m sure it wasn’t here when I bought it.
I don’t think it’s a problem, this part doesn’t keep the battery tighten inside the P4, and when I put it inside my drone, I can’t get it out without using the *push buttons*. But even if you can’t really see that on the pictures, it really created a hole inside the crack, so it may break someday during flight or just when manipulating it.
If anyone ever had this problem, please tell me if it breaked or something, because if it makes the flight dangerous, I won’t fly with it anymore, and I’ll try to get with DJI for a replacement or something, as it’s not already a year old.

Have a nice day flying!

In France we don’t have 6 months warranty except on second hand products, so it should be a 1 year warranty I suppose... but anyway I’m done with it ^^
