YOGYAKARTA Battery is one of the important elements on an unmanned plane aka a drone. The component serves as an energy source that supplies electricity. Unfortunately, the battery in the drone has a vulnerability. Even in some cases the drone battery can trigger a fire or explode. To avoid this incident, unmanned aircraft owners must understand what causes and how to prevent a drone battery from exploding.
Reporting from the Pilot Institute website, currently drones generally use one of two types of lithium-based batteries, namely lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-Po). Each type of battery has its own vulnerabilities which can lead to the emergence of fire sprinklers to explosions.
Reporting from various sources, there are many things that trigger the battery of the exploded drone, namely as follows.
Overcharging or excessive charging to the point of crossing the recommended limits could be the main trigger for the drone to explode. The charging will trigger overheating batteries to damage cells and trigger fires and explosions.
This condition can be triggered by many things, such as excessive charging, flying drones at hot locations, or storage of batteries near hot sources. High temperatures will trigger overheating batteries to trigger pressure and explosions.
The cells in the drone battery are quite susceptible to damage due to collisions or scratches. When that happens, the chemistry inside the battery leaks to trigger the explosion. Therefore it is highly recommended to replace the damaged drone battery.
Short circuits can occur on a power circuit or charging system. When a short circuit occurs, an uncontrolled current flow will appear, increasing the battery temperature. From there the drone battery can explode.

Although drone batteries are very sensitive, you can carry out various anticipations so that the explosion or burning of the battery can be avoided. Here are some ways you can do it.
Make sure you install the battery that suits the drone's own specifications. If the battery doesn't support it, problems like overheating will definitely appear.
The drone battery charging procedure must be carried out properly and appropriately. Do not refill overnight or within a long time. other than that, use charging cables according to the standard.
Battery temperature must be properly maintained to remain stable. To do so, you must pay attention to storage areas, charging procedures, battery qualifications, and so on.
It is highly inappropriate to maintain a drone battery that is no longer feasible. The use of a damaged battery has great potential to trigger damage to drones including triggering a fire.
