Battery Safety and Maximizing Battery Life

Both rechargeable and non-rechargeable power sources like the battery in drone, if dropped, crushed, or short-circuited, these batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires. Here is some advice on battery charges for storage.

Battery Usage Precautions

• Correct Charging Methods:
  1. Choose the Right Charger: Use a charger specifically designed for model aircraft lithium batteries.
  2. Set the Correct Charging Parameters: The charging current is generally determined by the battery's capacity.A common charging rate is 0.5C-1C (C represents the rate multiplier of the battery's capacity).For example, for a 1S 450mAh battery, a 1C charging current is 0.45A.
  3. Avoid Overcharging: Do not leave the battery charging for extended periods.Unplug the power cord immediately after charging is complete.
  4. Control the Charging Temperature: Charge the battery in an ideal environment.The ideal charging temperature range is typically between 15°C and 35°C, similar to that of standard lithium batteries.
  5. Batteries Recently Used: Batteries that have just been used for flight will be internally hot and should not be charged immediately.It is recommended to allow them to cool before charging.
  6. Charging safety measures: Keep away from flammable and explosive items during charging, and it is recommended that someone be on guard.

• Correct Usage:
  1. Ambient Temperature Control: Recommended operating temperature: 15°C to 35°C.
  Avoid high temperatures (≥45°C) or low temperatures (≤0°C).
  2. Properly control the depth of discharge: Recommended single-cell voltage should be discharged to no less than 3.4V.
  (Recommended battery discharge voltage: 1S ≥3.4V; 2S ≥ 6.8V; 3S ≥10.2V; 4S ≥13.6V)
  3. Avoid excessive discharge with high current: Avoid prolonged (≥10 seconds) full throttle flight.
  Avoid continuous high current output.
  4. Monitor battery temperature: If the battery temperature exceeds 60°C, discontinue use and allow it to cool.
  Avoid prolonged operation at high throttle (≥80%).
  5. Pre-use Inspection: If any bulges, damage, or leakage is found,
  discontinue use immediately and replace it promptly.

• Correct Storage Methods：
  1. Storage Environment
  Store batteries in a dry, cool, and adequately sized environment. Avoid high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
  The ideal storage temperature range is approximately 15°C to 35°C (62°F to 81°F) with a relative humidity of 40% to 60%.
  Store batteries in an explosion-proof cabinet with desiccant.
  Separate battery storage compartments should be provided to prevent multiple batteries from being crushed or impacted.
  2. Storage Voltage
  The recommended storage voltage is 3.7V to 3.9V per cell.
  A fully charged battery should not be stored for more than three days.
  3. Regular Charge and Discharge Maintenance
  We recommend performing charge and discharge maintenance every three months. This involves charging and discharging the battery to prevent rapid degradation of battery performance due to long-term inactivity. When charging and discharging, adhere to correct charging parameters (such as selecting an appropriate charger, setting the appropriate charge current, voltage, and depth of discharge).

• Safety Precautions:
  1. Fully charge new batteries before use.
  2. Do not short-circuit, disassemble, impact, or bend the battery.
  3. Do not use batteries that are deformed or swollen.
  4. Strictly adhere to correct charging and discharging parameters.
