Recently, I have seen many friends ask what kind of battery cells are used in drones? According to the nature of the battery, there is only one type of Battery Cell for drones, which is polymer lithium battery. However, according to the application types of drones, there are many types. What are the specific ones? Let’s take a brief look at it below.
1. Plant protection UAVs are divided into helicopter plant protection UAVs, multi-axis agricultural UAVs and fixed-wing plant protection UAVs.
(1) Helicopter plant protection drone
Compared with other plant protection drones, helicopter plant protection drones have a better depth of pesticide spraying and are better for dense crops. The disadvantages are that the control coefficient is relatively high, the amount of pesticides on the load-bearing belt is relatively small, and it requires multiple operations, causing leakage of sprays. area possible. This kind of drone is suitable for small area plant protection. The drone Battery Cell used generally has a medium magnification.
(2) Multi-axis agricultural UAV
The advantages of multi-axis and multi-rotor agricultural drones compared to other plant protection drones are wide pesticide spraying range, large amount of pesticides carried, easy operation, stable flight, no missed area operations, and suitable for medium-sized area operations. Disadvantages: It consumes a lot of power, and the drone battery needs to be replaced frequently. Currently, TATTU is the best plant protection drone battery on the market.
(3) Fixed-wing UAV
Fixed-wing drones are mainly used for plant protection in very large areas. They are mainly oil-burning, but they still require a corresponding starting power source to start. A high-rate starting battery is used. Generally used Battery Cells are not very large, but the discharge capacity and recovery cycle performance of the Battery Cell are relatively high.
2. Competitive entertainment drone-FPV drone
Drone racing competitions are relatively popular activities. In addition to the performance of the drones themselves, drone racing competitions also have high performance requirements for the drone battery cell. Of course the participating operators are the most important. The performance requirements of battery cells for drones used in competitions are generally small size, light weight, high capacity, stable discharge at ultra-high rates, and stable discharge temperature.
3. Security drones, surveying drones and firefighting drones
The UAV Battery Cell used by these drones does not have very high requirements for discharge rate, but the requirements for Battery Cell capacity (endurance), discharge platform, discharge temperature, storage, cycle life, etc. are relatively high. Because these drones are not used frequently.
