How to Estimate UAV Payload and Endurance: A Complete Calculation Example from Weight Budget to Mission Energy Consumption.

required thrust for a drone under different payloads

When selecting a payload for an industrial drone, one of the easiest mistakes is comparing only two numbers: Maximum payload capacity vs. payload weight. If a drone is rated to carry 5 kg and your equipment weighs exactly 5 kg, it may seem reasonable to assume that the mission is feasible. But in real engineering,…

When Mobility Giants Take to the Sky: What Didi’s Entry Means for China’s Low-Altitude Economy

China’s low-altitude economy is entering a new stage. For years, the industry conversation focused mainly on aircraft manufacturers: who could build the best drone, who could certify the first eVTOL, who could achieve the longest range, and who could raise the most capital. Now, another type of player is arriving. Mobility platforms. The establishment of…

Drone Battery Charging Safety Guide

uav battery charger

Drone batteries are mostly lithium polymer (LiPo) or lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, characterized by being lightweight and high-energy-density, but they require careful handling. I. Detailed Steps for Charging Drone Batteries Pre-Charging Preparation Ensure charger compatibility: Use the original or officially certified charger. Different drone models have different voltage and current parameters; using the wrong charger may…

China’s Solid-State Battery Unicorns Are Racing Toward the Capital Markets — But Commercialization Is Still the Real Test

the race toward solid state batter commercialization in china

China’s solid-state battery industry is entering a new phase. The competition is no longer limited to laboratory breakthroughs, pilot lines, energy-density records, or prototype vehicle demonstrations. It is now moving into the capital markets. Two of China’s most prominent solid-state battery unicorns — WeLion New Energy and QingTao Energy — are both accelerating toward public-market…

All You Need to Know About Various Charge-Discharge Curves of Lithium Batteries in One Article

lipo battery charge and discharge curve 1

This article systematically dissects various charge/discharge curves of lithium-ion batteries. It explains the curve profiles corresponding to mainstream charging/discharging modes, including constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), CC–CV, constant power, and constant resistance. It interprets the electrochemical mechanisms behind voltage plateaus, inflection points, and slope variations—such as polarization and phase transitions during lithium intercalation/deintercalation—and establishes…

Why Voltage, Capacity, and Internal Resistance Are Not Enough for Battery Cell Matching

the k value reflects the rate of battery capacity fade the smaller the k value the more stable the battery performance.

In lithium battery pack manufacturing, cell consistency is one of the most important factors determining long-term safety, reliability, and service life. Most battery manufacturers use three core parameters to match cells before pack assembly: Open-circuit voltage Internal resistance Capacity or energy These measurements are essential. They help ensure that cells assembled into the same battery…

Why DJI Intelligent Batteries Become “Locked”: Understanding BMS Protection, Deep Discharge, and Proper Storage

smart drone battery protection

Many drone pilots have experienced the same frustrating situation: A battery is left unused for several weeks or months. When it is taken out again, it will not charge. Pressing the power button produces no indicator lights. The charger does not recognize it, and the drone cannot detect it. In the drone community, this is…

Choosing the Right Battery for AGVs, RGVs, and AMRs: Why Total Cost Matters More Than Battery Price

Have you ever seen a fulfillment center during a major e-commerce promotion? Hundreds of AGVs and AMRs move between shelves, racks, conveyors, and picking stations. Every second counts. If one vehicle loses power and stops in a narrow aisle, the result is not simply one idle machine. It may block an entire logistics route. Production…
