In order to ensure optimal performance of your drone, it is important to consider battery care. Most drones run off of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery or lithium-polymer battery. There are a few common tips that manufacturers recommend preserving a battery’s power capacity. Take note of the following suggestions to ensure battery efficiency and longevity.

Pay Attention to Your “Low Battery” Alert

                In taking care of your drone battery, you’ll want to make sure to avoid a common mistake— depleting your battery completely. Doing this not only increases the length needed to recharge, but also causes the battery to deteriorate quicker over time and it shortens the flight cycle durations. Most drones have a low battery alert that operates cohesively with smart return, which directs the drone back to its designated home location. It is important to utilize this automatic control or direct your drone to land as soon as the low battery alert is given.

Don’t Overcharge!

                Overcharging a battery can reduce its lifespan and weaken its power capacity, meaning your drone won’t perform with the same power efficiency and you’ll have to replace your battery more frequently. To prevent this, charge your battery 24 hours before your intended flight.

Keep Temperature In Mind

                Drastic temperatures alter the way a battery will charge. Hot and cold temperatures provide challenges. Ideally, you should charge your battery in a cool, dry environment between 60 and 75 ?. A battery achieves its most optimal charging rate between this temperature range.

Remove Your Battery After Flight

                When your drone is not in use, remove the battery. Leaving it attached to your drone depletes the battery faster. As with overcharging, leaving a battery attached to your drone for extended periods reduces the battery’s power capacity.

And there you have it, the 4 key suggestions to keep in mind for drone battery parts & their care. Keep these in mind to preserve your battery and keep it operating at its best. Happy flying!

Lake Forest, CA has been home to the testing of Panasonics third generation Ku-Band satellite network. This new innovative system will be allowed for Panasonic to be able to reach the needs of its customers but also be able to stay on top of the rapidly evolving industry of airborne network connectivity.

Along with the help of their subsidiary, ITC Global, Panasonic has been to reach newer heights of connectivity with its enterprise, energy and maritime customers increasing its capabilities in the industry.

To date Panasonic supports more over than 1800 aircrafts with the inflight connectivity service has plans to grow exponentially by an increased number of 10,000 within 15 years.

Since the integration of the supporting company Newtec, Panasonic has showed improvement of their bandwidth over 20 times than before. The satellite is undergoing precision testing performed in an anechoic chamber taking place at the Panasonics very own Lake Forest facility.The crew and customers will benefit greatly from enhanced connectivy for their applications from improved TV picture quality to 3G phone service.
