Warning:Propulsion Output Limited. Aircraft motility has been lowered.

How many charges ago were your batteries calibrated? Sounds like they are reporting to the system differently than what they are. Calibration will sort that.

I can't read now but it's a pretty new battery... I agree it seems a wrong reporting status
 

Forgive my ignorance... Where/how do you view this data? DJI app?? I did a 69 mph flight yesterday with no problems (ATTI mode with 18 mph tail wind). The power didn't seem limited at all. Does this only occur in GPS mode? Thanx.
 

I'm running v1.08 and have no reason to go to 1.09 (release notes have no luster for me). Which firmware version you running? v1.09, I assume?

Yep...I had a feeling. I'm running 1.08.xx and get no such warnings.
 
Been getting this too. Once went into auto land. On 1.1.9.30. I have 3 x T48 and 2 x T47 batteries. Doesn't seem to matter which ones are loaded. I always do a full discharge when requested by the DJI GO app, using a SmartCharger unit. Didn't notice the message before the last firmware update.
 

As far as I know the Smartcharger does not run the batteries down to LVC below 3.3v. The smart batteries (smart up to a point!) need to know "where" 0% is relative to full charge to report the correct battery state to the flight controller. Running your batteries down to LVC now and then will not damage your batteries, there is still enough in them to protect them. I also do this after every firmware upgrade. Doing this I have never had much of a problem. Batteries all healthy.

yup slug mode, why did they not use batteries with a higher C rating? i get this message even with about 60% left in the battery at times.

I'm surprised that nobody here has noted DJI's misuse of the word "motility". It's a biological term, most often used to refer to sperm motility. It doesn't have a place in describing the lowered mobility of the Inspire in these circumstances.

Perhaps a failure of DJI's Chinese/Engrish dictionary?
 

How do you calibrate/run your batteries down to LVC?
 
I bought one from Alex a month ago and I heartily endorse it.
 
Flying Inspire 1pro on version 1.9.1.30 and last week finished a job in wind gusts of 30 + knots with no technical problems.
Out of interest - what maximum operational windspeed do you quote in your ops manual then since you would be operating outside the manufacturers limitations of the aircraft at those wind speeds?
 
Recognise and accept this was above my stated ops manual wind speed and not normal practice but didn't appreciate the quickly changing weather conditions and it wasn't until later that day after revisiting weather data I realised just how windy it had been. What I gained from this was how impressed I was with the aircrafts ability to cope very well in these conditions especially the smooth video captured and to be more aware of rapidly changing weather conditions.
