A Dutch start-up, Tulip Tech, says that its new high-density battery can improve the flight time of drones by up to 63%. The company recently conducted a field test with its advanced 39Ah battery. In combination with a drone from Acecore Technologies, this resulted in a significant increase in performance.
63% more flight time
With a load of 6 kg, the battery achieved up to 63% extra flight time compared to standard battery packs. This means that drone operators can fly significantly longer during industrial inspections, land surveys, or assignments in hard-to-reach areas.
Long service life
Tulip's battery packs are not only distinguished by their high energy density but also by their long service life. According to the company, the batteries can be recharged around 600 times on average before they need to be replaced. This translates into lower costs and fewer disruptions during long-term operations.
10,000 batteries
Tulip Tech develops its batteries in collaboration with leading players in the drone industry, including Avy, Acecore Technologies, DeltaQuad, and the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR). Tulip Tech now has an annual production capacity of 10,000 batteries.
