It's a fairly common message. High demands on the battery can cause down spikes in individual cells which aren't going to be apparent to the pilot during flight. If a cell hits below 3.3 v, then the drone goes into autoland whether you like it or not. If a cell hits below 3.0 volts, the battery turns itself off during flight. Doesn't matter what your battery percentage is. So the "propulsion reduced..." message is the FW advising you that it's doing you a favor by limiting your high demands of the battery so that it keeps the aircraft from autolanding or crashing. When I get the message, it'll be either very early in the flight while I'm climbing, or towards the very end of the flight. I've never had anything bad happen that's associated with the message. It wouldn't hurt to check your log and make sure your cells are reasonably balanced throughout the flight.
Thanks, Mark, that's a little reassuring, I did post the logfile with a couple of images in post #4 |
