Two Batteries on a Charging Cycle for Continuous Operations

 

Time is of the essence in agriculture, and downtime can mean lost opportunity. The dual-battery setup on the T50 allows for one battery to be charged while the other is in use, cycling efficiency and keeping your operations flowing seamlessly. Let's discuss the technology in the T50 and T25 batteries that enables cycling for continuous operations.

 

 

 

Rapid charging rate

 

The Agras T50 and T25 drones feature an advanced battery design that supports a rapid charging rate, minimizing the charging intervals and increasing efficiency in the field. The batteries have been engineered to accommodate a fast charge, which significantly cuts down the time required to get them airborne again. Especially when paired with the D12000iEP D12000iEP Multifunctional Inverter Generator, which has a dominant power output of 9000W, or the DJI C10000 Intelligent Charger, you're guaranteeing maximum charging potential for your battery. With a rapid charging system, the battery you're charging is ready to deploy as soon as the drone returns for a tank refill, thus maximizing productivity and operational continuity for farmers.

 

Omnidirectional Heat Dissipation for the Batteries

 

Efficient heat dissipation is crucial for effective charging, and this is precisely what the DJI T50/T25 batteries deliver. Thanks to their innovative omnidirectional heat transfer pathways, these batteries are capable of rapidly dispersing heat from multiple directions. This key feature not only accelerates the rate of heat dissipation but also ensures a consistent temperature throughout the battery, eliminating the risk of localized overheating. The result is a stable, high-energy charge in an impressively quick 9 minutes.

 

Please note, however, that these results have been obtained from DJI's agricultural laboratory through simulated operations. In environments where temperatures exceed 35°C, two consecutive power cycles may not be achievable.

Battery Safety and Reliability Upgrades

 

Safety is paramount, especially when it comes to high-tech gear in agriculture. To enhance durability and safety under extreme working conditions, the core components of the T50 and T25 batteries are thoroughly encased, providing the following benefits:

 

1. Reinforces the stability of the electronic components, boosting their resistance to external impacts and vibrations.
2. Enhances the insulation between internal components and connections, promoting device downsizing and weight reduction.
3. Shields components and connections from direct exposure, enhancing the waterproof, dustproof, and moisture resistance of the components.

Intelligent Battery Management System

 

Proper management and tracking of your batteries will not only improve safety, but also increase their operational lifespan. The T50 and T25 has an intelligent battery management system that monitors the status of the battery cells round the clock to prevent any damage due to temperature, current, or voltage exceeding the normal operating range, thus avoiding other undesirable conditions. Moreover, this state-of-the-art battery management set-up has a full-circuit, short-circuit protection design. This ensures the battery is effectively safeguarded against any short-circuits even under the most extreme working conditions. This isn't just about longer flight times; it's about smarter energy use that aligns with safer operations and impactful environmental conservation.

 

Hundreds of Harsh Tests

 

Rigor is at the heart of reliability. The energy-saving batteries of the Agras T50 and T25 have been put through hundreds of tests, simulated to mimic the harshest of real-world conditions. These tests examine its waterproof, dustproof, anti-corrosion characteristics, and resilience to extreme temperatures and extended use. While our professional testing is comprehensive, we strongly advise against attempting to replicate these tests. As part of preserving the safety and integrity of your equipment, avoid rinsing the battery directly with a hose. If the battery accidentally becomes immersed in water, please seek assistance from your local agent for a thorough inspection.

 

 

Improved Battery Life and Discharge Depth

 

Longevity meets capability with the Agras T50 and T25 batteries' improved life and deeper discharge depths. The chemistry and design behind these batteries mean that charges go further, lasting longer, and providing greater value over their lifetime. This includes an improved battery algorithm, incorporating an active learning and correction mechanism. This enhancement improves the precision of battery life predictions, subsequently extending the battery's discharge depth by 5%. Additionally, the T50 and T25 are equipped with a sophisticated spraying breakpoint algorithm, allowing it to perform an extra 200 meters compared to the DJI T40, even at a zero percent battery display and a 40 kg load. 

 

Please bear in mind that when the battery power dips below 5%, the drone will land automatically to ensure operational safety. Always prioritize flight safety and maintain ample reserve power for returning.

 

Air-Cooled Heat Sink

 

T50 batteries can also be charged in the Air-Cooled Heat Sink, which blows cool air across the battery, cooling it to the optimal temperature for charging. The Air-Cooled Heat Sink has an integrated injection molded design, which increases its durability while also removing the need for assembly before use. This enhanced strength effectively mitigates any potential damage to the battery that could occur from jolts during transportation.

 

Multifunctional Inverter Generators

 

The generators used to recharge T50 and T25 batteries in the field have also received optimizations. The charging cable length has been increased from .85 meters to a more flexible 1.5 meters, allowing for more diverse usage situations. For example, batteries can be charged further away from the generator, away from heat exhaust.

 

They support a start/stop function, which saves energy and reduces fuel consumption. They also have an intelligent diagnosis and maintenance reminder feature, which monitors the system's condition in the background to ensure safety at all times.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

 

Striking the balance between power, performance, and sustainability, the Agras T50 and T25 represent a paradigm shift in agricultural drone energy use. It's not just about working harder but smarter, using groundbreaking technology to empower sustainable practices.

 

For the tech innovators, AgTech community, and farmers at the helm of agricultural modernization, the Agras T50 and T25 stand as beacons of progressive efficiency. Consider how integrating these systems could redefine your agricultural operations.
