Product Overview – Semi-Solid Drone Battery
PPCELL‘s 27Ah semi-solid drone battery (Model C5B8F0) is engineered for industrial UAVs demanding extended flight endurance and reliable power delivery. Leveraging next‑generation semi‑solid electrolyte architecture—a hybrid system retaining only 5%‑10% liquid electrolyte compared to ~25% in conventional LiPos—this cell delivers 217Wh/kg gravimetric energy density, substantially extending flight times for industrial and commercial drones.
With a nominal voltage of 3.6V and 27Ah capacity, the C5B8F0 provides 97.2Wh of total energy in a lightweight 447g package. The 12.5mm profile enables efficient battery pack designs for space‑constrained UAV platforms. 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. This cell is the ideal power solution for long‑endurance missions where every gram counts and flight time is critical.
Key Features – Semi-Solid UAV Battery
High Energy Density (217Wh/kg): Delivers 217Wh/kg gravimetric energy density—significantly higher than conventional LiPo batteries (180‑220 Wh/kg at cell level)—extending UAV flight time without adding weight.
High Capacity (27Ah / 97.2Wh): 3.6V nominal voltage with 27Ah capacity delivers substantial energy for long‑endurance missions—mapping, surveying, inspection, and cargo delivery.
Lightweight Design (12.5mm / 447g): Slim profile and minimal weight enable compact battery pack designs, preserving payload capacity for sensors and equipment.
Semi‑Solid Safety: Hybrid electrolyte architecture with only 5%‑10% liquid content suppresses lithium dendrites and provides enhanced “zero‑flame” safety over standard Li‑ion.
High Discharge Rate (3C Continuous / 5C Pulse): Supports 3C continuous discharge and 5C instantaneous pulse for power‑intensive flight maneuvers, takeoff, and emergency power—meeting the demanding requirements of industrial drones.
Long Cycle Life (1500 Cycles): 1500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge ensures reliable performance over multiple missions.
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Supports charging from 0~45°C and discharging from -20~60°C for versatile mission scenarios.
