Nowadays, as a representative of strategic emerging industries, the low-altitude economy is booming at an astonishing speed and plays an important role in various fields. In this process, drone batteries, as the core power source of drones, are of vital importance for maintenance. Especially for those users who have extremely high requirements for battery performance, the correct maintenance method can greatly extend the service life of the battery.

With the continuous advancement of drone technology, the new generation of drone batteries has made major breakthroughs in materials and technology. The use of advanced lithium polymer materials and intelligent battery management systems (BMS) has greatly improved the energy density of the battery and made its safety performance more outstanding. These high-performance batteries are not only lighter in size and can store more electrical energy, but also have the ability to charge quickly and discharge stably for a long time, laying a solid foundation for the wide application of drones in firefighting, rescue, aerial photography, agricultural plant protection, logistics and transportation, etc.

So, how to maintain the drone battery when it is not used for a long time? Here are some key maintenance methods:

1、Carefully select the storage environment

  1. Keep it ventilated and dry: Drone batteries should be stored in a well-ventilated and dry place, away from moisture. Moisture is extremely damaging to batteries and will affect battery performance and life.
  2. Appropriate temperature range: Avoid placing the battery in extreme temperature environments for a long time. Whether the temperature is too low or too high, it may have adverse effects on the battery. For example, if placed in a low-temperature environment for a long time, battery activity will be significantly reduced, and may even lead to irreversible decline in lithium battery performance. Therefore, you should choose a place with moderate temperature to store the battery.
  3. Keep away from dangerous items: When storing batteries, be sure to keep them away from heat sources and flammable and explosive items to ensure safety.

2、Reasonable management of electricity

  1. Remove the battery in time: When the drone is not in use, the battery should be removed immediately to prevent damage to the battery due to long-term idleness inside the drone.
  2. Moderate discharge: If the battery is not used for more than 10 days, it is recommended to discharge the battery to 40% to 65% of the optimal storage capacity by turning on the machine and leaving it alone or taking off and hovering. Long-term storage with no power may cause over-discharge damage to the battery, while fully charged storage increases safety risks.
  3. Regular charge and discharge cycles: To maintain the best condition of the battery, it is recommended to perform a complete charge and discharge cycle every 2-3 months. If the battery is seriously low and idle for a long time, the battery may enter deep sleep mode. At this time, you can try to charge the battery to wake it up.

3、Notes on Charging

  1. Cool down before charging: After the flight, be sure to wait for the battery to cool down before charging to avoid damage to the battery caused by high temperature.
  2. Use a dedicated charger: Always use a dedicated charger for charging and ensure that the charging environment is away from high temperatures.
  3. Handle the battery with care: When using a charging device, be careful to handle the battery with care to avoid applying excessive pressure to the battery, so as not to damage the charging device or cause the battery to be scrapped.

4、Suggestions for long-term storage

  1. Moisture-proof bag storage: If you need to store lithium batteries for a long time, you can choose to store them in moisture-proof bags to further protect the batteries from the influence of humid environment.
  2. Regular discharge and recharge: Perform the discharge and recharge process once a month, that is, charge the battery to full voltage and then discharge it to storage voltage to maintain battery activity.
