I suggest never letting lithium batteries specially freeze. I wouldn’t mind leaving my spark in frozen car, but I would pack batteries with me.. same thing when I take my Sony alpha out shooting, I pack batteries on my pockets inside my thick coat facing my body.. the camera it’s self can be ice cold but batteries aren’t and that makes all world of difference.
My spark and in a few months my Mavic Pro (yes I’m going to have both hopefully) are going to be workhorses.. they well be treated like rest of my workhorses.. have to to survive severely cold starts, splashes of rain, snow, dust, and stuff.. batteries I will have sympathy for, the body I won’t. My spark is already got a nice thick layer of road dust and grim on it. It’s already survived a major major rain storm flying back at me full force sport mode in blinding rain and lightning for a full minute other day, and in about 10 hours she is going back out again this time, Meeting up with some people who asked me if I wouldn’t mind teaching them how to fly because they are interested in integrating drones into search and rescue efforts(cop friend referred them to me). And it’s not going to be easy because where we will be flying it will likely storm 70-80% chance if storms. But I have insurance, which will cover it, so no worries here. They actually asked about rain and storms impacting it. I said, let’s find out
Great work, I look forward to future updates. Thanks for the tips! |
