Instructions And Precautions Regarding The Use of Drone Batteries

I. Instructions for use:

1.Charging

Use the original charger: try to use the original charger that comes with the drone, avoid using other incompatible charging devices.

Charging environment: make sure the environment is well ventilated during charging and avoid overheating. The ideal charging temperature is between 5°C and 30°C.

Charging status: Do not overcharge the battery during charging, it is recommended to keep the charger and the battery well connected during charging, do not unplug it in the middle.

Avoid overcharging: Try to avoid charging the battery to 100% full state during the charging process, charging to 80%-90% is more ideal, which will help to prolong the service life of the battery.

2. Discharge

Discharge the battery to the proper level: At the end of the flight, make sure that the battery is kept at the proper level. It is generally recommended to keep the battery at about 20%-30% after the flight, do not let the battery completely empty to avoid deep discharge.

Charge in time: When not in use for a long time you should keep the battery level between 40%-60% stored to ensure the health of the battery.

3. Temperature Attention

High and low temperature effects: Battery performance is significantly affected at high (over 40°C) and low (below 0°C) temperatures, try to avoid using the battery at extreme temperatures, especially when flying in the winter, the battery's performance will be reduced when discharged at low temperatures.

Cooling the battery: If the battery is overheated, try to let it cool down before continuing to use or charge it.

4. Battery Installation

Install correctly: When installing the battery, make sure the battery is firmly connected to the drone to avoid loose or poor contact.

Clean the battery interface: the battery interface and drone contact points should be kept clean to avoid dust and dirt to ensure stable power transmission.

Second, precautions:

1. Avoid excessive vibration: the drone battery is relatively sensitive, avoid collision, falling or violent vibration, which may lead to damage to the internal structure of the battery, or even cause a short circuit or leakage.

2.Battery Storage

Avoid long-term storage of fully charged or fully discharged batteries. Avoid overcharging or fully discharging the battery when storing, the ideal storage capacity is about 50%.

Avoid humid and corrosive environments: Batteries should not be stored in humid or corrosive environments, which may lead to short-circuiting or corrosion.

3. Keep dry: When storing batteries, make sure they are dry and do not allow them to come into contact with moisture.

Check Battery Health

4. Regularly check the battery status: Batteries that have not been used for a long time should be regularly checked for expansion, corrosion, leakage and other problems.

5. Excessive use of batteries: Avoid using the batteries in a low power state for a long time and avoid excessive use of the batteries in order to prolong the service life of the batteries.

6.Safety

Damaged or swollen batteries: If you find that the batteries are cosmetically damaged or swollen, stop using them immediately and place them in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding contact with open flames. A damaged battery may cause a fire or explosion.

Replacement of batteries: After a period of use, the capacity of the batteries will decrease and the flight time will become shorter. It is recommended to replace the batteries in time to avoid flight accidents caused by battery failure.

7. Recycle Batteries

Do not discard the drone batteries, they contain hazardous substances and should be recycled according to local regulations.

III. Additional Recommendations:

Temperature-controlled flight: In environments with extreme temperatures, consider relatively suitable temperatures when choosing flight time slots to avoid overheating or overcooling of the battery.

Battery Management System: Some high-end drones are equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS), which can monitor the health of the battery in real time and remind users to carry out maintenance in a timely manner.

In short, rational use, timely charging and discharging, and regular maintenance are all key to prolonging the life of your drone's battery.
