Aircraft & Mission Profile
Share aircraft mass, maximum payload, motor and propulsion information, take-off and maneuvering demand, mission duration, altitude, reserve policy and representative flight logs when available.
AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY
Custom Battery Systems for Agricultural Drones
Agricultural drone batteries must support the aircraft’s actual flight profile, not only a nominal voltage and capacity. Stellova helps OEM teams define the pack around take-off and maneuvering loads, payload, usable flight time, mass and balance, rapid turnaround, field conditions, telemetry and service requirements.
AGRICULTURAL DRONE REQUIREMENTS
Start With the Aircraft, Mission and Field Workflow
Spraying, spreading, mapping and inspection missions create different payloads, power demand and turnaround patterns. Battery direction should be based on representative aircraft data, mission duration, reserve policy, environmental exposure and the way packs are charged, transported and exchanged in the field.
WHAT TO DEFINE
Inputs That Shape the Flight Battery
Provide logs or estimates for the most demanding representative mission. The sample should validate an agreed flight and charging profile rather than discover avoidable system constraints.
Electrical Load & Energy Window
Define nominal system voltage, continuous current, peak current and duration, usable SOC window, low-voltage behavior, auxiliary loads and the required flight-time margin.
Pack Integration & Handling
Provide the maximum envelope, mass target, center-of-gravity constraints, mounting or locking method, connector, cable, removal direction and expected pack-change frequency.
Field Charging & Environment
Define charger or station interface, turnaround target, cooling time, ambient and starting temperature, dust, moisture, chemical or spray exposure, vibration, transport and storage conditions.
AIRCRAFT-LEVEL ENGINEERING
Power, Weight, Temperature and Flight Time Must Be Balanced Together
Increasing energy, discharge capability or environmental protection can affect mass, size, cooling and charge time. The correct pack architecture follows the aircraft-level trade-offs and safety boundaries.
Cell Capability & Flight Loads
Cell format and parallel configuration should be evaluated against sustained propulsion demand, transient peaks, voltage sag, usable energy and the required reserve at the most demanding operating temperature.
Mass, Balance & Mechanical Retention
Pack layout, enclosure, mounting, connector and handling features must fit the aircraft mass budget, center-of-gravity range and vibration environment without compromising service access.
Temperature & Turnaround
Discharge heating, landing temperature, cooling interval, charge rate, field airflow and consecutive missions determine whether the required operating rhythm is sustainable.
BMS & Aircraft Data
Protection, current measurement, SOC estimation, temperature sensing, cycle data and the agreed aircraft or charger interface should support predictable flight decisions and fault handling.
REFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Agricultural Drone Battery Reference Configuration
This configuration is a source-supported project reference for a high-rate UAV battery. It is not a universal agricultural-drone product; aircraft compatibility and flight performance must be validated for the target mission.
Project parameterHow it is defined
ModelST-AD-22-6.5 Nominal voltage | 22.2 V Rated capacity | 6.5 Ah Nominal energy | 144.3 Wh Charge voltage | / Maximum charge current | 3.5 A Continuous discharge current | / Peak discharge current | / Rated discharge rate | 60 C Communication | / Protection rating | / Customization note | This is a project-reference configuration rather than a fixed catalogue product. Voltage, capacity, charge and discharge capability, BMS logic, communication, protection, connector and mechanical interfaces can be customized. Final specifications are subject to aircraft-level validation and the approved project definition.
VALIDATION & PRODUCTION READINESS
Use Bench Evidence and Representative Flight Testing Together
Bench testing establishes electrical, thermal and protection behavior under controlled loads. Representative aircraft testing confirms integration, telemetry, handling and usable mission performance within the agreed operating limits.
Electrical & Thermal Bench Tests
Reproduce agreed continuous loads, peak events, SOC window, ambient conditions and charge profiles while monitoring voltage sag, temperature and protection behavior.
Aircraft Integration Checks
Verify dimensions, mass, center of gravity, retention, connector access, telemetry, alarms and interaction with the aircraft and charger.
Representative Mission Testing
Test the defined payload, flight pattern, reserve policy and consecutive-mission workflow under controlled and documented field conditions.
Production Configuration Control
Freeze approved cells, pack layout, BMS hardware and settings, drawings, firmware responsibility, test limits, inspection records and serial traceability.
FROM FLIGHT REQUIREMENT TO DELIVERY
Coordinate Battery Decisions With the Aircraft Development Team
Stellova coordinates battery requirements and qualified production resources around the agreed aircraft, mission and charging system. Final performance, tests, certification work and production controls depend on the confirmed configuration and operating boundary.
