5.2 Smart Battery Functions

The smart battery has the following functions: PDF p. 89

The smart battery has a built-in battery level indicator, which shows the current battery level of the smart battery. PDF p. 89

The aircraft can obtain real-time battery information, such as voltage, current, battery level, and battery temperature, through the communication interface on the smart battery. PDF p. 90

The smart battery will automatically shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity to reduce power consumption. PDF p. 90

After correctly installing the smart battery to the aircraft, the battery complies with IP43 protection level. PDF p. 90

When the smart battery power is below 8%, the battery will enter the ultra-low power mode to reduce self-consumption. When entering ultra-low power mode, it needs to be activated by a charger before it can continue to use normally. PDF p. 90

If the smart battery is stored in a high-temperature environment or not used for 6 days with a high battery level, the self-discharge protection will be activated. The smart battery will automatically discharge to a safe battery level and the discharge process takes 2-3 days. PDF p. 90

Although the battery has no indication of a self-discharge cycle, you may notice that the battery is slightly warm, which is normal. PDF p. 90

If the smart battery has a low battery level, it will automatically enter sleep mode to prevent over-discharge. In this mode, the smart battery does not respond when the power button is pressed. To wake up the battery, you can connect it to a battery charger. PDF p. 90

The smart battery will stop charging when its temperature is lower than 5°C (41℉) or higher than 45°C (113℉) during charging, as charging the battery under such temperatures will damage the battery. PDF p. 90

The smart battery will stop charging when the charging current is too large, as charging the battery with a high current can severely damage the battery. PDF p. 90

Charging will stop automatically when the smart battery is fully charged, as overcharging can severely damage the battery. PDF p. 90

The voltage of each battery cell in the smart battery is automatically kept balanced to protect the battery and maximize the performance of the battery. PDF p. 90

Once a short circuit is detected, the power supply of the smart battery will be cut off to protect the battery. PDF p. 90

Before using the smart battery, please carefully read and strictly follow the requirements in this Manual, “Battery Safety Operation Guidelines”, and “Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines”, and those on the battery's surface sticker. The user shall undertake all consequences if he/she fails to follow the usage requirements. PDF p. 91
