Engineers from the Scientific and Production Center (SPC) "Svarog" have developed a new generation "Svarog" solid-state battery (SSB) for heavy unmanned aerial vehicles. This was announced by the center's press service.
A conventional lithium-polymer battery loses up to 30–40% of its capacity in the cold. A solid-state battery holds its charge stably – at a temperature of −20°C, it works where a conventional battery would have already given up.
Characteristics of the "Svarog" battery:
- Capacity — 84,000 mAh
- Charge voltage — 25.2V
- Discharge voltage — 16.5V
- Continuous current — 180A
- Maximum current — 365A
The scientific and production center emphasized that the "Svarog" battery is safer than a lithium-polymer battery. Thanks to the high energy density of the battery, a cargo drone can stay in flight longer than with conventional batteries.
In addition to components for drones, SPC "Svarog" has developed a line of heavy "Svarog" drones with various carrying capacities. "Mikhalyсh" drones for water delivery, provisions, and ammunition are also supplied to the troops.
