Zależność między ładownością drona a pojemnością baterii drona

Whether it’s agricultural drones or industrial drones, regardless of size or weight, a long and far flight requires a powerful engine—a drone battery that’s up to the task! So, what mysterious relationship exists between drone payload and bateria do drona selection? Of course, there is one! It mainly depends on the specific application requirements of the drone. Generally speaking, drones that require long endurance and heavy loads need larger drone batteries in terms of voltage and capacity, and vice versa.

As Newbettercell, with years of R&D and production experience in agricultural drones, we specifically consulted relevant design engineers. Below, we will introduce the relationship between the payload and drone battery selection of mainstream agricultural drones currently on the market.

Drone Payload and Battery Capacity: The greater the payload, the greater the battery capacity. Early agricultural drone models were mainly 10L, gradually developing to 16L, 20L, 30L, and 40L. Within a certain range, increasing the payload helps to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, in recent years, the carrying weight of agricultural drones has increased.

Different regions and different applications have different requirements for the model payload. In terms of application scope, orchard plant protection and sowing operations require larger payloads to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. In terms of regional scope, scattered plots prefer small and medium-sized models, while regular large plots are more suitable for large-payload models.

Early 10L agricultural plant protection drone models mostly used agricultural drone batteries with the following specifications: voltage at 22.2V, capacity between 8000 and 12000mAh, and a discharge current of around 10C, which was basically sufficient. Later, due to advancements in drone technology, the payload continuously increased, developing in increments of 16L, 20L, 30L, and 40L, and the drone batteries also increased in voltage, capacity, and discharge current accordingly.

The drone battery parameters used for 16L and 20L drone models are mostly: capacity 12000mAh to 14000mAh, voltage 22.2V. Of course, some models can use a higher voltage of 44.4V, and a discharge rate of 10C to 15C. The drone battery parameters used for 30L and 40L drone models are mostly: capacity 16000mAh to 22000mAh, voltage 44.4V. Of course, some models can use a higher voltage of 51.8V, and a discharge rate of 15C to 25C. In 2022-2023, the mainstream model payload has increased to 40L-50L, with a sowing capacity of 50KG. It is estimated that in the next few years, the model payload will not continue to increase significantly because the increasing payload has already created the following disadvantages:

1. Difficult for one or two people to carry, making transportation more troublesome;
2. Excessive wind fields during operation, easily causing lodging;
3. High charging power, some even exceeding 7KW, single-phase electricity is difficult to meet, requiring higher demands on the power grid.

Therefore, considering these advantages and disadvantages, it is expected that in the next 3-5 years, 20-50 kg models will be the mainstay, with each region choosing according to its own needs.

Newbetterycell smart batteries adapt to drones with most payloads on the market. So, what payloads of agricultural drones and industrial drones are suitable for the drone smart batteries produced by Newbettercell? As New Better Energy Technology Co., Ltd., with 18 years of R&D and production experience in lithium batteries, the production of agricultural drone series batteries and industrial drone batteries has been sold for many years, occupying a certain market share. We can provide one-stop charging and power supply solutions for various models of drones. Newbettercell’s drone battery models and capacities are also very diverse, which can meet the use of drones with capacities from 5L-25L and payloads from 10 kg-50 kg on the market. The corresponding models and battery capacities are rich and diverse, and can be customized according to drone needs. Recently, we will also launch a series of 5C ultra-fast charging drone smart battery series, which will be gradually launched on the market.
