Drone Battery
ENOV High-Energy drone batteries power industrial and commercial drones. Delivering 220–320 Wh/kg energy density, they enable long flight times (30+ mins) and support fast charging (2C). Perfect for aerial photography, surveillance, and delivery drones.
The classification of lithium polymer batteries is centered on the material system, mainly divided based on three core dimensions: cathode materials, anode materials, and electrolyte materials. Different material combinations determine key performance metrics such as energy density, safety, and cycle life, making them suitable for diverse application scenarios.
