This morning I pulled batteries from the charger to setup cameras prior to flying and noticed one battery was swollen. Maybe leaving them in the charger is a bad idea, removed all batteries such as Insta360 batteries as well that sit in the charger. I went through my stack of about a half dozen and another one was swollen. Maybe it was left in the charger for a period of time in the past, maybe it happened just sitting there.

Be sure to check your batteries!
