The stunning landscapes and attractive scenery shot from Ruko drones have fueled plenty of drone pilots’ passion to set off on the adventure of flying. However, sometimes, what bothers them a lot is that the flight life becomes shorter and shorter, discouraging flying interest to some extent. In this blog, let’s figure out the causes of the short flight life.
1. Impact of low-temperature environment
Low temperatures(-10 ~ 15℃) can significantly affect the performance of the battery, resulting in a shorter flight life. Therefore, when using the drone, ensure that the ambient temperature is not lower than the normal operating range to avoid the negative impact of low temperature on battery life.
2. Increased power consumption caused by strong winds
In windy weather, the drone requires more energy to stabilize the flight, which speeds up the battery's power consumption and shortens the battery life. Therefore, try to avoid operating the drone in a windy environment.
3. Activation process of new batteries
For newly purchased batteries, it is recommended to perform 3 charge and discharge cycles to help the internal electrons of the battery recover their activity and ensure that the battery is in the best condition before normal use. This can effectively avoid the problem of short battery life due to unactivated batteries.
4. Influence of high power mode and ascent process
In Speed Mode, the battery consumes a lot of power. At the same time, the ascent process of the drone also requires more energy, which accelerates the battery consumption and affects the battery life performance. Therefore, when performing high-power operations, be sure to pay attention to the battery life.
5. Effects of self-discharge function on batteries
The drone battery has a self-discharge function; that is, after charging, the battery will automatically release part of the power. This is to maintain the health of the battery, but it will also cause the battery to automatically consume power for 2-4 minutes when not in use and usually fully discharge after 5-7 days.
Summary
If the issue of abnormal battery life still exists after checking the above influence elements, it is recommended to provide the flight logs of the incident date and ensure that the drone flies in Normal Mode and the flight environment on that day is windless or lightly windy. This will help us better analyze and address the drone flight time issue.
