I love my inspire 1. It has proven itself to be a very stable platform and has never let me down. I keep it well maintained as it looks as good as the day it left the factory. My only concern is battery price and availability in the UK. I have only found one vendor for a TB48 and they want £200 each! My other choice is used batteries that pop up rarely on auction sites. I wonder if they will be manufactured again? Older power tool and laptop batteries are easily obtained and given the amount of inspire owners out there the demand is evident. I wouldn't consider shelving my inspire if a good supply of decent batteries came on the market. Any one else feel the same?
Is it over for Inspire 1 ?

Are you meaning the M600Pro TB48S to Inspire 1 TB48 thread? It’s a little long in the tooth, but does show a quick mod... But it too turned out to require a little sodering too. It was hoped a top swap would be a success, but the IC board (FW ) aren’t the same.yes there is thread somewhere I have seen using batteries from another model that get fitted to the I1 battery cover I saw it recently but stupidly did not book mark it.

TB48 (Inspire) v TB48S (Matrice)
Hi all. Hope you can help here. I’ve looked through many a post regarding batteries, but still haven’t found one that confirms compatibility. I need to know if the Matrice 600’s TB48S can be used in the I1 - anyone tried it? Given same power, same everything apart from the lid? If it's not...

Another angle... I recently purchased my First Phantom, a P4Pv2... ya ya, hard to believe as discontinued, but just curious to own. Still kind-a an awkward looking craft to my eyes... but that another discussion..
Anyway, my point... examining the battery. It’s very similar in size, the gel packs look to be about the same. I thought might be a path, then realized P4P is a 4S, not a 6S Iipo. Urrg!
Has anyone else come across a similar sized 6S gel pack?

That's a home page. Where are these Inspire 1 batteries you speak of. According to them, here's their product line:
Where are these Inspire 1 batteries?

I'm disappointed that DJI have discontinued them. The last brand new Inspire 1 that sold couldn't have been too long ago. The packs and moulds must be out there somewhere in China. Also the Chinese are very clever at replicating so I'm surprised not to see well known auction sites full of them! Perhaps DJI have a very strict code in copyrights to stop dodgy packs entering the market. I totally get this but thought that they would have continued production of the battery packs for longer themselves. I'll hang onto my inspire as long as I can in the hope that spares and batteries don't dry up as it's perfect for my needs.
