Some users reported their confusions about their batteries after upgrading to the Inspire 1 Firmware v1.2.1.03. Clarifications are listed as below:
Batteries' new feature includes:
1. Reduce power consumption of the Intelligent Flight Battery when it is powered off to protect thebattery. When the battery power level is below 40% and is turned off more than 4hrs, it will go into deep sleep mode to further lower the power consumption of the battery, so that the battery can be stored for a much extened peorid even without recharge. When we turn on the battery again, the control IC (actully the gas gauge IC) inside the battery will reset and re-calculate the power level. This explains why the power level "today" is different from power level "yesterday". Once it goes into the deep sleep mode, the power level (battery level percentage) will reset to a relatively lower value. This is to protect you from inaccurately high power level. Just recharge the battery fully, the control IC will calibrate itself and the power level will be accurate. When you want to fly your Inspire 1, I'd recommend to always fully charge the battery if you haven't use it over a few days.
2. Remind to fully charge/discharge the battery every 10 cycles. If the battery haven't been experienced a fully charge/discharge cycle every 10 cyles, the accuracy of the control IC inside the battery will be worse. To ensure the accuracy of the power level calcualtion of the battery, the Inspire 1 newest DJI Pilot App will remind the user to perform the fully charge/discharge cycle. Just put a fullly charged batttery in your Inspire and fly it until it reaches the very low power warning, then land the Inspire on the ground and leave it there until the battery level is 5% or below. Then it's DONE. Your battery will be in a better condition to serve you and provide accurate power level information during your future flight.
