TIPS for your Drone Battery Care

7.4v Lipo battery has now been with us for many years and have become an essential part of this hobby. They weigh 10%- 20% less than the typical NiCd/NiHm battery and they store nearly 350% more energy. However, they can aslo be fully charged in about an hour. All of this electric goodness does not come without a cost. If not handled and utilized properly, LiPo batteries can quickly become damaged or even catch on fire. So I am writing this in an attempt to explain how to best maintain your drone battery. And Of course, choosing a better battery for your drone is aslo essential in order to have maximum performance and life span. For me I’m now using Tattu for my drone, however it’s safer and more powerful than what I’ve used anyway.

Let’s start with the basics of the drone care. First of all , your storage environment should be clean and dry. Keep them out of contact with any random metal objects and at safe, non-extreme temperatures. Or what you need to do is to make sure they are properly encased and sealed when in your drone, preferably in a waterproof battery box, and then store it in a clean, dry place.

Your Drone battery must only be charged by specific chargers made to charge your drone battery.

As me personal,I am using Tattu 10000mah 6s 2 cell lipo batteries,You might use different brand,but the method is the same,Taking battery out of your drone before you charge your battery. OF course, make sure your battery does not put near any flammable products or liquids when you are charging it.

Use the specific charger to discharge your drone battery. It can helps to stop discharging at a safe minimum charge level. As in my case,PL8 works perfect for my Tattu battery,Tattu 10000mah 6s as the best battery in uav area,so charger should be good enough to match it.

The other thing what you need to avoid is not to overcharge your drone battery.Generally speaking, the less that batteries are pushed to their max (that goes for charge and discharge), the more cycles they will provide.
These are tips to look after your drone battery. Better battery safety and longer battery lifespans, which in turn gives you a healthier wallet!
