I. Charging:
Use Designated Chargers: For smart drone batteries, it is advisable to use the official designated charger. Generally, the original manufacturer's charger provides good protection for the battery; otherwise, you may not receive after-sales service from the manufacturer.
Charge Scientifically: The optimal charging temperature for most batteries is between 5°C and 40°C. Refer to the specific battery manual for the best temperature range for charging. Charging within this range can significantly extend the battery's lifespan. After flying, if the battery is hot, it should cool down to the aforementioned temperature range before charging. Avoid charging in extremely cold, sunny, or hot conditions.
Charge in the Off State: Always charge the battery while the drone is powered off.
II. Usage:
Plan Flight Time Wisely: According to the discharge curve of the drone battery, the voltage drops more rapidly below 3.7V, which can lead to over-discharging and a shorter battery lifespan. It is recommended to plan flight times reasonably, keep spare batteries, and return to base when prompted by the battery alarm.
Protection in Cold Weather: If conditions allow, provide insulation for the drone battery before takeoff. Discharge performance significantly decreases in low temperatures, so try to limit flight time to about half of what it would be in a warmer environment.
III. Storage:
Long-term Storage Precautions: Before storage, the battery charge should be between 40% and 60%. Otherwise, long-term storage may damage the battery. Ensure to discharge and charge the battery at least once every three months; if it's a smart battery, shorten this to every two months.
Store in a Cool Environment: Since drone batteries may spend a significant amount of time in storage, the appropriate environmental temperature is crucial. For long-term storage, place the battery in a sealed bag or a sealed explosion-proof box. The recommended storage temperature is between 10°C and 25°C, and the ideal temperature should follow the manual guidelines.
Avoid Using Flammable Cleaners: Do not use alcohol or other flammable cleaning agents on the battery or charging equipment.
IV. Transportation:
Handle with Care: It is recommended to handle the battery gently. Avoid carrying the battery by its wires, and do not impact, crush, pierce, or create short circuits in the battery. Prevent the battery from falling, as impacts may deform it and pose a fire hazard.
Reduce Charge for Long-distance Transport: For safety reasons, it is advisable to discharge the battery to a charge level of 20% to 30% before long-distance transportation.
