Industrial Drone Battery with Smart BMS

YIHANG, a China manufacturer and supplier, provides the Customized Industrial Drone Battery with Smart BMS for UAV platforms requiring high-rate power output, battery monitoring and application-specific configuration. Reference configurations include 12S, 14S and 18S, with 20000mAh–60000mAh capacity options and customizable voltage, dimensions, connectors and communication protocols.

The battery is built around high-rate LiPo cells and can be configured according to the electrical and mechanical requirements of the target UAV. For industrial applications, factors such as continuous discharge demand, battery compartment space, electrical interfaces and BMS communication need to be considered together rather than selecting capacity alone.

Technical Specifications

Battery Management and Configuration

The integrated smart BMS adds monitoring, balancing, protection and communication functions to the battery pack. Depending on the final configuration, it can provide key battery information to compatible flight-control, ground-station or monitoring systems.

Available BMS Functions

Cell balancing – Helps manage voltage differences between individual cells.

Battery monitoring – Tracks voltage, current, temperature and other configured battery data.

SOC and cycle data – Provides state-of-charge information and records battery usage cycles.

Protection – Supports configured protection against over-temperature, over-current and over-discharge.

CAN / RS485 communication – Allows battery data to be exchanged with compatible UAV systems.

The exact BMS functions, communication protocol and battery parameters are configured according to the target aircraft and project requirements.

Key Advantages

1. Smart Battery Management

The BMS can monitor key battery conditions and manage functions such as cell balancing and protection. This gives the UAV system access to more battery information than a basic power pack.

2. RS485 and CAN Communication

RS485 and CAN interfaces allow battery information to be exchanged with compatible flight-control or monitoring systems. Available data can include voltage, current, temperature, SOC, and cycle information, depending on the selected configuration.

3. High-Rate LiPo Power

The battery uses high-rate LiPo cells and supports a continuous discharge rate of 10C–25C. This makes the platform suitable for industrial UAVs with relatively high power requirements.

4. Flexible Voltage and Capacity Options

12S, 14S, and 18S are available as reference configurations, with capacities from 20000mAh to 60000mAh. Voltage and capacity can be adjusted according to the target UAV system.

5. Custom Mechanical and Electrical Configuration

For platform-specific projects, YIHANG can customize battery dimensions, connectors, communication protocol, voltage, capacity, and other agreed parameters to match the aircraft design.

Battery Monitoring and BMS Functions

A smart BMS provides a management layer between the battery pack and the UAV system. Depending on the final configuration, the system can monitor cell and pack conditions, perform active balancing, record cycle data, and provide protection against conditions such as over-temperature, over-current, and over-discharge.

Communication through CAN or RS485 can make selected battery data available to compatible flight-control systems or ground stations. The specific communication protocol, data format, and supported parameters should be confirmed during battery configuration.

Customization Process

Customized industrial drone batteries are normally specified from the UAV's electrical and mechanical requirements. Key inputs can include system voltage, target capacity, continuous and peak current, available battery space, connector type, communication interface, and required BMS functions.

YIHANG can then define the battery configuration around these requirements. For development projects, the final specification should be confirmed before sample production so that the battery and UAV system can be evaluated together.
