FAQ

Q1: What makes a survey drone battery different from a standard drone battery?

Survey UAVs often operate for longer periods while carrying cameras, LiDAR, or other sensors. A survey battery therefore needs to balance energy capacity, battery weight, and stable power output rather than focusing only on short-duration peak discharge.

Q2: What discharge rate is available for this survey battery?

The reference configuration provides a 3C continuous discharge rate and a 10C peak discharge rate. Final discharge characteristics can be configured according to the UAV's power requirements.

Q3: Can the battery be used for both fixed-wing and multi-rotor survey UAVs?

Yes. Battery voltage, capacity, dimensions, and discharge characteristics can be configured according to the operating profile and electrical requirements of fixed-wing or multi-rotor platforms.

Q4: Can YIHANG customize the battery size and capacity?

Yes. Battery dimensions, capacity, voltage, C-rate, connectors, charging interfaces, and other supported battery parameters can be customized according to the UAV platform.

Q5: Is a BMS available for the survey battery?

Yes. BMS integration is available as an option. CAN and RS485 communication can also be configured for compatible UAV flight-control, ground-station, or battery-monitoring systems.

Q6: What information is needed to configure a survey UAV battery?

Key requirements include the UAV model or platform, battery compartment dimensions, required voltage, capacity target, continuous and peak current demand, connector type, payload, and expected flight duration.
