Product Overview – Semi-Solid High Voltage Drone Battery

PPCELL‘s 20Ah semi-solid high voltage drone battery (Model P-C570H0) delivers 260Wh/kg gravimetric energy density – significantly outperforming conventional LiPo batteries (180–220 Wh/kg at cell level) – enabling extended flight times for industrial and commercial drones. Semi-solid technology is transitioning from advanced validation toward early commercial deployment in high-performance UAV applications in 2026.

With a nominal voltage of 3.85V and 20Ah capacity, the C570H0 provides 77Wh of total energy in a lightweight 295g package. The 12.5mm profile enables efficient battery pack designs for space‑constrained UAV platforms. The high voltage 3.85V platform maximizes system efficiency, reducing current draw and minimizing energy losses in the drone‘s power distribution system. Semi‑solid technology bridges the gap between liquid LiPo batteries and full solid‑state batteries, offering higher energy density and improved safety compared to traditional liquid‑electrolyte systems.

Key Features – Semi-Solid High Voltage UAV Battery

  • High Energy Density (260Wh/kg): Delivers 260Wh/kg gravimetric energy density – significantly higher than conventional LiPo batteries (180–220 Wh/kg) – extending UAV flight time without adding weight.

  • High Capacity (20Ah / 77Wh): 3.85V nominal voltage with 20Ah capacity delivers substantial energy for long‑endurance missions – mapping, surveying, inspection, and cargo delivery.

  • High Voltage Platform (3.85V): 3.85V nominal voltage enables more efficient power delivery, reducing current draw and minimizing I²R losses in the drone‘s power distribution system.

  • High Discharge Rate (5C Continuous / 7C Pulse): 5C continuous discharge (100A) and 7C instantaneous pulse discharge (140A) for power‑intensive flight maneuvers, takeoff, and emergency power.

  • Long Cycle Life (1500 Cycles): 1500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge ensures reliable performance over extended operational periods – triple the cycle life of traditional LiPo batteries.

  • Ultra‑Low Internal Resistance (≤1.5mΩ): Minimizes heat generation and power loss during high-rate discharge, improving efficiency and safety.

  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Supports charging from 0~45°C and discharging from -20~60°C for versatile mission scenarios.
