Winter Maintenance and Storage of Agricultural Drones

1. Maintenance and storage of agricultural drones

Before storing agricultural drones, maintenance should be performed to prevent pesticides and fertilizers from corroding the fuselage, especially the spraying system, spreading system, distribution board and battery. After maintenance, the agricultural drone should be placed in the packaging box and placed in a ventilated, dry and dark place. You should also pay attention to avoid damage caused by rodents and insects gnawing on the wire. You can do anti-rodent and anti-insect treatment under the condition of ensuring safety. Whether it is the fuselage or the battery, it should be maintained before storage. For the maintenance of T40 and T20P, please refer to: Use and maintenance of agricultural drones

2. Remote control battery maintenance and storage

The battery of the remote control is a component that is easy to be missed during maintenance. The built-in battery and the external battery have no self-discharge function. Do not store the battery fully charged or under-charged. The battery power needs to be controlled between 40%-60%, short press the power button, and the battery indicator is between two to two and a half grids as suitable for storage. When storing, check it every 2-3 months, fully charge the battery and discharge it to a suitable storage capacity before storing it.

3. Maintenance and Storage of Intelligent Flight Battery

The intelligent flight battery has a self-discharge function. When the battery is fully charged for more than 1 day, the battery will automatically discharge to about 97%; if it exceeds 7 days, it will automatically discharge to about 60% for storage. It is normal for the battery surface temperature to rise during discharge. Batteries should not be stacked and stored in a ventilated and dry place.

If you need to store the intelligent flight battery for more than 3 months, you should first wipe the surface of the battery with a damp cloth that has been wrung out of water. Use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol to wipe the battery connection pins. Do not clean the battery with water. Pay attention to control the battery power when storing, and the power requirements are consistent with the power of the remote control. The suitable temperature for storage is -20°C to 40°C, pay attention to keep the storage environment dry, clean and not crowded, and there is a certain distance between the boxes. In the southern region, special attention should be paid to moisture-proof measures. It is recommended to put the battery in the factory packing box or explosion-proof cabinet, and add a certain amount of desiccant to the box. In the later period, recharge and discharge it every 2-3 months to maintain battery activity. Batteries that have not been charged and discharged for more than 5 months will not be covered by warranty.
