Custom Battery Packs For Industrial & Military UAVs Industry - Defense
High capacity COTS and custom engineered battery packs for large industrial drones. Designed and built in the USA to the very highest standards.
Battery Solutions for UAVs
UAVs are being designed for an increasingly broad range of applications, from military surveillance to deliveries into hard-to-reach communities. Drones are bringing new possibilities to agriculture, industrial inspection, remote monitoring, logistics, defense operations and more.
However, each of these uses place very specific demands on a UAV and its power supply. For example, an agricultural drone will need to be airborne for long periods and cover great distances, while a delivery drone will have to manage a heavier payload and navigate built-up areas. A drone for the defense industry may have to contend with all of these factors. The onboard technology and therefore the power demands of the UAV will vary considerably, and batteries for UAVs must meet these numerous demands.
Custom Battery Packs for Drones
Battery design for drones must take into consideration not just size and weight requirements but also capacity, voltage, rate of discharge, and service life. Tolerance to vibration and extremes of temperature, resistance to water and dust ingress, and high reliability are critical.
The ease and speed of recharging batteries is also a major factor in selecting a power solution for drones. Depending on the environment and functionality of the UAV, an additional primary battery source may be required for backup in critical situations. Furthermore, batteries may be subject to aviation or aerospace regulations.
Designing batteries for UAVs is a complex task and we have experienced specialist engineers in the USA and UK ready to support your project.
We’ll help you select the most suitable cells, design a custom battery pack to fit any size and weight requirements and even assist in designing the final enclosure. Full testing and quality checks ensure optimum compliance, performance, and ruggedness.
