If photography is your passion, Ruko drones offer us a revolutionary perspective, allowing us to view the world in ways we never could before. However, the issue with battery may sometimes serve as a deterrent for drone pilots to have a smooth flight experience. In this blog, let’s dive in to some tips to use and store the drone battery in order to improve the battery durability.
1. Usage Specifications
It is recommended to perform charging and discharging operations once a month. It is strictly forbidden to store the battery with full charge. The power can be maintained at 60%, which helps to maintain the activity of the battery and extend the battery life.
When charging, it is not advised to use fast charging that exceeds the rated power of the product, because fast charging may cause irreversible damage to the battery. In addition, the battery is in a high temperature state after just use. At this time, you need to wait for it to cool down before charging. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to let the battery be in an overcharged state for a long time. Overcharging will accelerate battery aging and affect battery performance.
2. Storage requirements
Be sure to store the battery in a cool environment and resolutely avoid high temperature exposure. High temperature environment will have an adverse effect on the chemical substances inside the battery, resulting in a decrease in battery performance.
The environment where the battery is stored for a long time cannot be damp. A humid environment will damage the battery cell inside the battery, which will cause the battery to be defective.
3. Physical protection
Prevent the battery from being severely squeezed for various reasons, such as avoiding heavy objects from pressing on the battery during transportation or storage. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the battery from falling from a high altitude. Once the battery is severely squeezed or falls from a high altitude, it is very likely to make the battery scrapped.
Never soak the battery in water. Once the battery is soaked in water, the battery protection board will fail, directly leading to the battery malfunction.
4. Circuit maintenance
When the battery is low and placed in the drone for a long time, the battery will be slightly discharged although the drone is not operating. If this continues for a long time, the battery will be over-discharged, so this situation should be avoided.
Avoid long-term high-temperature exposure of the battery, because high-temperature exposure will cause internal short circuits in the battery cell, eventually making the battery scrapped.
Be careful to prevent the positive and negative poles of the battery from being short-circuited for a long time. For example, water, hair, and foreign matter on the battery connector may result in a short circuit. Once the short circuit lasts for more than 30 minutes, the protection board IC will fail and disconnect, rendering the battery unable to work properly.
Summary
The above suggestion will help you take the stress out of flying your drone without worrying the defective issue with the battery. For more assistance, you can cnotact our exceptional 7/24 Ruko customer service to guarantee your smooth flight experience.
