Advantages of Hard Pack Li-Po

– Protection and durability are the number 1 reason why you should use a hard case Li-Po. They are usually built with a sturdy thick plastic casing that covers the entire battery and protects it from bumps, scratches and harsh environments.  

– In Agriculture Drones, most hard case Li-Po comes with a “Smart” feature. Depending on the model, you can check the count of cycles and battery level. 

– Hard Case Li-Po usually has a balance cable port, rather than a fixed cable like a soft pack Li-Po. 

When charging or discharging a Li-Po battery, there are a few safety measures to take note of in order to ensure that you are out of harm’s way and that your battery is well maintained.

Here are some tips on how you can practice safe charging:

– Always use a charger made specifically for Li-Po batteries.

– Always check for damages on the battery before charging. Defects on battery may cause battery failure due to short circuit.

– Always keep an eye on your Li-Po batteries while they’re charging. Leaving the battery unattended might cause unexpected issues such as fire.

– Stop charging when the battery is fully charged and never overcharge a Li-Po battery.

– Always take out your batteries when charging. Never charge it when it is inside your drone.

– Never leave your Li-Po batteries fully charged for longer than a couple of days. You will need to discharge it if the battery is not in use.

– Never charge a battery that is warm from usage, and vice versa. Batteries that are frequently exposed to heat will have a shorter lifespan.

– Never charge batteries around flammable objects and fluids. Ensure that your battery is on a concrete or ceramic surface as materials such as wood or carpet may cause a fire.
