Drone Battery Performance for Mapping UAVs
When a survey manager asks me to improve drone battery performance for mapping UAVs, the request almost never turns out to be about flight minutes. It is a…
Drone Battery for Railway Track Inspection
When operators ask me to build a drone battery for railway track inspection, the first thing I tell them is that a rail corridor is not a powerline and it…
Drone Battery Energy Density vs Power Density Tradeoffs
When a buyer asks me to “just give me the longest flight time,” the first thing I do is stop and ask a sharper question: is your mission energy-limited or…
Drone Battery for Border and Perimeter Patrol
When a security director asks me how to keep a drone airborne over a 40-kilometre border fence or a refinery perimeter for an entire shift, the conversatio…
Drone Battery Warranty, Claims and Failure Analysis
Every drone battery I have ever designed eventually comes back to me. Not all of them, and not most of them — but a small, steady stream of returned…
