Smart Battery Usage - Autel Robotics Alpha User Manual

92 Chapter 5 Smart Battery
 Overcharge Protection
Charging will stop automatically when the smart battery is fully charged, as overcharging can
severely damage the battery.
 Balance Protection
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.
 Short Circuit Protection
Once a short circuit is detected, the power supply of the smart battery will be cut off to protect
the battery.
 Hot Swapping Batteries
The smart battery supports hot-swappable function. When the aircraft lands and battery
replacement is needed, you can replace one fully charged battery without turning off the aircraft
power and wait until the battery level indicator light turns on before replacing another battery.
 Over-Discharge Protection
When the smart battery is installed on the aircraft and is powered on but not in use, if the battery
level becomes too low, the battery will automatically disconnect power output. This feature is
disabled during flight.
Warning
 Before using the smart battery, please carefully read and strictly follow the requirements
in this Manual, "Battery Safety Operation Guidelines", and "Disclaimer", and those on the
battery's surface sticker. The user shall undertake all consequences if he/she fails to follow
the usage requirements.

Smart Battery Usage

 Please use a smart battery within the appropriate temperature range (refer to the operating
temperature of the aircraft). Using it in too high or low temperatures will affect the battery's
safety and lifespan and may cause spontaneous battery combustion or permanent damage
to the battery.
 To ensure flight safety, the aircraft is not allowed to take off when only one single battery is
installed. When the two smart batteries' power difference is greater than 12%, the Autel
Enterprise App will issue a warning and restrict the aircraft from taking off.
 Do not use the aircraft in a strong electrostatic (such as thunderstorms) or electromagnetic
environment. Otherwise, some functions of the smart battery may fail (e.g., abnormal battery
output and power failure), resulting in serious aircraft malfunctions.
 Do not use a smart battery that has ever been dropped from the aircraft or subjected to
external impacts.
 Do not use a water-soaked smart battery or immerse a smart battery in water or other liquids.
Water contact inside the battery may cause corrosion, resulting in spontaneous battery
combustion and even an explosion.
 Do not use a smart battery that emits smoke, is bulged, leaks liquids, or has a damaged
appearance.
