Choosing a Battery for an RC Drone with Camera

Rc drones with camera usually use electricity. It is important for a long range quadcopter to have a source of power that is quite reliable. You should bear in mind that the batteries that are used in the motorized vehicles do not run for a long time. There are several considerations that you will need to take in mind when choosing a drone with camera.

  • Battery composition. Lipo batteries are commonly used for powering drones. These are usually larger as compared to the NiCad older batteries as they are able to output power faster, store huge power amounts. Their life is also longer.
  • Battery life. Consider the period that the battery can last when used under the normal circumstances.
  • Proprietary technology. Is there a need to use a certain battery for your drone? The requirement to use a certain battery that has a proprietary connector is one way in which manufacturers are able to make some extra cash.
  • Replacement cost. What is the cost of replacement or spare? For instance, the DJI Phantom 3 professional review & cost around $500. Replacing its battery will cost you around $100. This means that the battery usually cost 20 percent of the cost of the particular drone. On the other hand a 3D robotics Iris+ cost around $750 and it will cost you around $40 to replace the battery. This shows that the battery cost 5 percent of its cost.
  • Charging. Is there a charging station in the drone? The charge time is also relative to the battery’s capacity. To shorten the charge time, a charger with a high output can go a long way in extending the charge time. This can be seen by looking at the amps.

Consider these factors when choosing a battery for your rc drone with camera.
