Battery Types and Characteristics of Professional UAV

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aircraft operated by radio remote control equipment and self-provided program control devices. The drone does not have a cockpit, but is equipped with equipment such as autopilot and program control devices. The ground, naval or mother aircraft remote control station personnel use radar and other equipment to track, locate, remotely control, remotely measure and digitally transmit it. Compared with manned aircraft, UAVs have the advantages of not requiring a driver, small size, and low cost. They are playing an increasingly important role in military, national defense, civil, commercial and other fields.

According to the different UAV batteries in the application field of UAVs, they are classified as follows:

1. Competitive drones for entertainment games (FPV drones)

The FPV  special drone battery is a high-rate discharge battery of the competition level. At present, the domestic drone competition is widely favored by the younger generation of young people, because this type of drone not only allows the pilot to experience the feeling of driving the aircraft.

Features: On the basis of ensuring the battery capacity, the lighter the weight and the smaller the volume the better.

2. Aerial photography drone

The most demanded battery for aerial photography drones is the longer the battery life, the better. Of course, the weight and volume of the battery should be as small as possible while ensuring a certain flight time. The battery has a fixed size and capacity discharge performance, with less freedom. The other is a DIY drone, and drone enthusiasts buy drone accessories online and assemble it by themselves.

3. Agricultural plant protection drone

Large-scale and heavy-duty drones are used in agriculture, forestry and plant protection, which need to load a certain weight of medicine to spray crops to eliminate pests. Such drone-specific batteries have a capacity of more than 8000mAh, and now they have reached 26000mAh, which are relatively large batteries.

Features: It can achieve fast charging, excellent heat dissipation. The lighter the weight, the better, and it supports high current discharge to provide power.

4. UAVs for police and security surveying and mapping, etc.

It can be adapted to different drone batteries according to different application scenarios.
