According to the New Consumption Daily, Mr. Cai, a citizen, lost more than 100,000 yuan in the fire due to the battery fire of the UAV. It is reported that Mr. Cai bought a high configuration UAV battery with a price of less than 2000 yuan. It is said that the fire was caused by a non original battery with quality problems presented by the seller, which led to the battery explosion and fire accident. Whether the battery is original and qualified is not only a major doubt of the main cause of the fire accident, but also a dispute between Mr. Cai and dealers and manufacturers. However, Mr. Cai has not yet reached a settlement agreement with Taobao UAV dealers for the rights protection of UAV batteries in case of burning, explosion and even fire accidents.
The quality problem of the battery of the consumer UAV in this accident has caused the sales channels and consumers to think deeply. Since the development of UAV battery, the endurance and safety factors have always been attached great importance. In the case of poor battery quality and inadequate protection function design of UAV, the charging cycle life is low, and it is easy to generate heat, even bulge, and even fire in serious cases. In particular, in order to create a price advantage, some manufacturers choose to use low configuration or even unqualified accessories.
Because of the high energy density characteristics of the polymer lithium battery of UAV, it requires the brand UAV manufacturers and corresponding battery suppliers to carry out scientific and perfect scheme design for the use, maintenance and servicing of the battery in the process of product development. Lithium battery factories need to check the quality of outgoing batteries.
