Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become increasingly popular for both recreational and professional applications, ranging from aerial photography and videography to mapping and inspections. However, the challenge of keeping these devices powered, especially in remote locations, can limit their usability. In this blog, we’ll explore what UAVs are, how to power them flexibly, and why the Jackery Solar Generator 240 v2 is an ideal small generator solution for UAV enthusiasts looking to extend their flight capabilities.
What is a UAV?
A UAV, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, is essentially a drone used without a human pilot onboard. These devices are controlled remotely via a ground-based controller or autonomously through pre-programmed flight plans combined with more complex dynamic automation systems. UAVs are used in various fields, including surveillance, agriculture, film, and hobbyist aerial photography, proving their versatility and utility in numerous sectors.
Flexible Powering Solutions for UAVs
To maximize the effectiveness and operational time of UAVs, especially when used in the field or in remote areas, having a flexible, reliable, and portable power source is crucial. Here are a few tips on how to power your UAV flexibly:
1. Portable Power Packs
Using portable power packs allows UAV pilots to recharge their drone batteries on-site without needing access to conventional power outlets. This can significantly extend the operating time during field operations.
2. Solar Generators
For extended trips or remote applications, solar generators are excellent for recharging UAV batteries. They provide a sustainable and eco-friendly power solution, harnessing solar energy to keep your equipment running.
3. Vehicle Power Inverters
For those who frequently operate UAVs from near a vehicle, using a power inverter can convert DC power from a car battery into AC power suitable for charging drone batteries.
