The agricultural drone sprayer industry is thriving, and the development of agricultural plant protection drones has always been inseparable from the three major issues of safety, privacy and battery life.

Forget security and privacy concerns. Today, let’s talk about the battery life of drone sprayer agricultural spraying. Let’s start with the advantages and disadvantages of electric agricultural plant protection drones and oil-driven agricultural plant protection drones.

According to the source of the UAV power system, it is currently mainly divided into two types: electric agricultural plant protection drones and oil-driven agricultural plant protection drones. Electric drones mainly use lithium batteries, and oil-powered drones mainly use gasoline. In the circle of drone enthusiasts, it is often found that in the process of using the drone, they will be equipped with multiple batteries as backup batteries to solve the problem of insufficient battery life of the drone.

So, what are the performance advantages of electric agricultural plant protection drones and oil-based agricultural plant protection drones?

Advantages of electric agricultural plant protection drones:

1. The system has strong stability, high reliability, simple daily maintenance, easy to master, and low requirements for the pilot's operation level.

2. Strong site adaptability, rapid deployment, light and flexible; superior plateau performance, and the output power of the motor is not affected by oxygen content;

3. The battery can be recharged and reused, the use cost is low, and it is environmentally friendly and low-carbon; the electric drone has small vibration, low cost and good quality.

Disadvantages of electric agricultural plant protection drones:

1. Weak wind resistance (up to grade 5 wind) and endurance (based on the energy density of existing batteries, the endurance of electric drones is weak).

The advantages of oil-driven fertilizer drones agricultural spraying:

1. The oil-powered UAV has good wind resistance, and the oil-powered UAV has a long battery life and strong endurance.

Disadvantages of oil-powered agricultural plant protection drones:

1. The use of oil-powered agricultural plant protection drones is complex, difficult to master, and requires high levels of pilots' operation; poor stability (most existing civil drones use model aircraft engines, which have poor engine stability and complex working conditions).

2. The environmental site adaptability is poor, the plateau performance is insufficient, and the vibration is large (the engine vibration is large, which affects the image quality and easily causes damage to the sensor).

These are the advantages and disadvantages of oil and electric drones for agricultural plant protection. In other words, it is best to choose the one that suits you!
