So I just got the Action 2 camera today. I know it's a few generations behind, but I love the size, and the shape.
Iplan on mounting it to my air3 and my avata2
The lense is right in the center - other action cams are off centered and bigger.

Anyways - brand new - had it in the charger for a half hour or so, and now it gets hot to the touch, just sitting there. Not recording, nothing.
Also - the bottom ,display block -will NOT charge past 70%
Been on the charger 45 mins - hasn6budges past 70

Is this a common thing? They get really hot?.charging issues?

Hi, there
Thanks for your feedback.
The charging temperature of the camera unit is about 40°C when the device is powered off, and the front screen expansion module/endurance module is about 44° when charging. The temperature will change due to the charging time, and the charging will be as high as 50° or more after turning off. It is recommended to charge after turning off .
Regarding the charge time, it takes approximately 90 minutes to fully charge both the camera unit and the front touchscreen module or the power module when they are connected.
Thanks for your understanding.

So I had it on the charger - ALL NIGHT. Lights still flashing this morning indicating charging.
Checked - 68% on bottom cube. It will not charge.
And now the bottom cube power is dropping at an crazy rate these pics are taken 2 mins apart

And when I say it gets HOT
I mean sitting, idle - not on a charger, not video recording - it's brand new and I obviously got a defective unit

Hi, there
Thanks for your details.
Please try to update the DJI Action 2 to the latest firmware version.
If the charging is still slow after the firmware update, please provide the following information and we will check it further for you:
1. Product serial number;
2. DJI Action 2 firmware version;
3. Display of the charging process.
Thanks
