「Night Operation Specialized」: How the LCO Battery’s -20℃ Self-Heating Technology Ensures Continuous Low-Temperature Spraying
The LCO battery with -20℃ self-heating technology revolutionizes agricultural drone operations in freezing nighttime environments. Designed for lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) chemistry, this innovation maintains optimal performance even at -20℃ (-4°F), enabling uninterrupted pesticide spraying during critical cold-weather windows. Explore how its intelligent heating system and rugged design conquer extreme conditions.

1. Self-Heating Mechanism for Subzero Resilience
Standard lithium batteries fail below 0℃ due to electrolyte freezing. The LCO battery’s embedded heating coils activate automatically at 5℃ (41°F), warming cells to 15–20℃ (59–68°F) within minutes. This ensures stable ion flow, preventing power drops during nighttime frost.
2. Extended Flight Time in Cold Darkness
While most batteries lose 30–40% capacity in freezing temperatures, the self-heating LCO variant retains 95% efficiency. Drones achieve 35–40 minutes of flight per charge at -20℃, covering 20–25 acres nightly without mid-mission interruptions.
3. Dual-Layer Insulation for Heat Retention
Aerogel insulation surrounds the heating coils, trapping warmth even in icy winds. The outer casing uses thermally reflective materials to minimize external cold penetration. Combined, these layers sustain operational temperatures for 2+ hours post-heating.
4. Low-Energy Heating for Minimal Drain
Traditional external heaters consume 15–20% of battery power. This LCO system uses pulsed heating technology, drawing only 5% energy while maintaining core warmth. The saved power extends spraying range by 1.5x compared to conventional solutions.
5. Night-Vision Compatibility and Safety
The battery’s EMI-shielded design prevents interference with drone night-vision sensors. Overheat protection and moisture-resistant terminals ensure safe operation in snowy or dewy conditions, reducing accident risks during dark hours.
Conclusion: Mastering Nighttime Farming Challenges
The LCO battery with -20℃ self-heating technology empowers farmers to maximize productivity in freezing nighttime conditions. By eliminating cold-induced power loss and ensuring continuous spraying, it transforms winter crop management. For agribusinesses battling seasonal deadlines, this technology delivers reliability, safety, and unmatched cold-weather endurance.
