Flying a drone could be exciting and so much fun. However, one common challenge many drone enthusiast face is the limitation of flight time. Some people even notice that the flight time gets shorter than it used to be or compared with the advertised time. In this article, let’s further look into what makes the flight time shorter.
1. Temperature Conditions
Rule out whether it is a low temperature environment. Drones’ battery level is consumed faster in a low temperature environment.
2. Windy Conditions
The drone will consume power faster in a windy environment, and it’s not recommended to fly drones in a strong windy environmen
3. Battery Activation
Charge and discharge the new battery 3 times to activate the internal electronics, so that the battery’s flight time may return to normal.
4. Speed Mode
Speed Mode consumes a lot of power, and the drone will also consume a lot of power during the ascent operation.
5. Self-Discharge Feature
Nowadays, most drone batteries have a self-discharge function,which is a safety feature to prevent overcharging and maintain optimal battery health. In general, the batteries will automatically discharge about 12 minutes in about 7 days after it is fully charged.
6. Further Troubleshooting
If the battery abnormality still exists after checking the above, please fly the drone in a windless or light wind environment under normal mode, then share the flight log of that flight. Our tech team will further pinpoint and provide a solution.
To Sum up
For drone operations to be both safe and effective, proper battery management is essential.
