Keep Your Drone Batteries in Top Shape

With our automated battery health scoring, you get clear, data-driven insights based on your drone’s actual flight logs – so you can fly smarter, safer, and longer.

Check your battery health

What is battery health scoring?

Battery degradation is a natural part of drone operations – but knowing when your batteries are starting to fail shouldn't be a guessing game.
With our battery health scoring system, you get:

✅ Early warnings about wear and imbalance
✅ Visibility into battery performance trends
✅ Actionable data for safe and efficient planning

Our platform continuously analyzes your flight logs and calculates a clear health score for each battery, helping you avoid downtime and protect your investment.

How we score your battery health

We use real flight data to calculate a health score from 0 to 100, based on the following key factors:

Capacity Loss

As batteries age, they hold less charge. We compare the battery’s original full capacity with its most recent capacity reading.

Example:
If your battery started at 5,000mAh and now only holds 4,000mAh, that’s a 20% capacity loss – and a sign of wear.

Voltage Deviation Between Cells

A healthy battery has evenly balanced cells. Large differences in voltage between cells (called cell voltage deviation) can lead to poor performance or failure.
  • Minor imbalances are normal
  • Deviations over 0.1V are penalized in the health score
  • Large imbalances indicate potential internal damage

Maximum Operating Temperature

High temperatures degrade battery chemistry. We track the highest temperature your battery has reached across all flight logs.
  • Below 60°C = safe
  • Above 60°C = stress on the battery
  • Sustained high temps may reduce lifespan

Charge Cycles

Each full charge puts your battery one step closer to end-of-life. We monitor how many times each battery has been charged.
  • Under 200 cycles = good
  • Over 200 = normal aging
  • Over 400 = nearing replacement

Your Battery’s Health Score: 0–100

Each factor contributes to a single score between 0 (critical) and 100 (like-new). We calculate this using a weighted formula designed to highlight batteries at risk.

What the score means:
Score range Meaning Recommended action
80-100 Excellent No action needed
60-79 Good Monitor occasionally
40-59 Moderate wear Plan for replacement
0-39 Poor / Critical Replace ASAP

Frequently asked questions about battery health

Find answers to the most common questions about monitoring and maintaining your drone batteries. Learn how to track capacity, charge cycles, warnings – and when it’s time to replace a battery.

Every time a new dronelog is uploaded, the battery score is recalculated based on the latest data.

No. The analysis is fully automated and runs in the background.

Ideally, all cells should be evenly charged. If the voltage difference exceeds 0.1 V, it may indicate imbalance and potential faults. Minor deviations are normal, but larger ones should be investigated.

If the battery score drops below 60, you should start planning a replacement or ensure special monitoring. Scores below 40 require prompt action and battery replacement.
