DRAGONFISH STANDARD
Battery Quick Start Guide

Warning
Only use the battery and charger provid-
ed by Autel Robotics. It is prohibited to
modify the battery pack and its charger,
or use third-party equipment to replace it.
The electrolyte in the battery is extremely
corrosive. If electrolyte splashes into your
eyes or skin accidentally, immediately
rinse the affected area with clean water
and seek medical attention.
Battery safety
The Dragonfish Standard aircraft is powered by
lithium-ion polymer batteries. Improper use of
these batteries can be dangerous. Please ensure
that the battery usage, charging, and storage
guidelines are strictly followed.
Battery usage
When installing or removing the aircraft battery,
make sure that the aircraft is powered off. Also,
pay attention to the following:
When using the Dragonfish Standard,
only use the batteries and charging
devices sold or authorized by Autel
Robotics. Using unapproved batteries
or charging devices may cause fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazards. Autel
Robotic will not be held responsible for any
consequences caused by the use of
third-party batteries or charging devices.
If the aircraft enters the low battery warning
mode, you should land as soon as possible
and stop flying, replace the battery with a
new one or charge the battery.
Do not disassemble, scratch, crush, bend,
puncture, cut, twist, or intentionally damage
the battery. Otherwise, this may cause fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazards.
If the battery shows signs of bulging, leakage,
smoke or any other signs of damage, stop
charging or using it with immediate effect,
and immerse it in a container filled with salt
water.
Please use the battery within suitable
temperature (-20°C~40°C). Using the battery
at excessively high or low temperature will
affect the battery life. If the temperature is too
high, this may result in fire or combustion. If
the battery is used in excessively low
temperatures, this may cause permanent
damage to the battery.
If the battery is in a low temperature range
(below 10°C), the battery needs to be
preheated before taking off.
Do not use the battery in a strong static or
electromagnetic environment.
Do not expose the battery near an open
flame, explosion, or other hazards.
Do not place the battery in a microwave oven
or pressure cooker.
If the aircraft falls into the water, remove the
battery immediately after recovering it. Put it
in an open place and keep a safe distance
from it until the battery is completely dry.
After that, stop using the battery, and
contact the customer service center for a
replacement.
To ensure flight safety, when the power gap
between the two batteries is greater than
12%, the APP will prompt an alert and the
aircraft will be restricted from taking off.
Battery charging
The Dragonfish Standard battery takes up to 120
minutes to fully charge. This may vary depending
on the remaining battery power.
Also, please pay attention to the following:
Do not use damaged battery chargers.
When the charger is not in use, disconnect it
from the aircraft battery and power supply.
Wait for the battery to cool off at room
temperature before charging. If you connect
the battery to the charger immediately after
flight, the temperature protection function
may be automatically activated, preventing
the battery from charging until the battery is
completely cooled.
Battery storage and transportation
Avoid close contact with water or heat sources
when storing the battery. The battery should be
stored at room temperature (ideally 22°C to 28°C
(72°F to 82°F)) in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Also, pay attention to the following:
The battery should be stored out of reach of
children and pets.
Do not store the battery in direct sunlight or
near sharp objects, water, metals or reactive
chemicals.
Storing the battery in extreme temperatures
will shorten its life. If the battery is not used
for more than 1 day, it should be stored at a
temperature of -10°C (14°F) to 30°C (86°F).
Otherwise, this may result in damage or
battery failure. If left unused for a long time,
the battery life will be shortened.
Do not transport damaged batteries. If the
battery needs to be transported, be sure to
discharge the battery to about 20%-30%.
Battery heating
In a low temperature environment (less than 10°C),
short press and then long press the battery button
for 5 seconds to activate the intelligent flight battery
heating function, and the final battery temperature
will be maintained at 15°C-20°C. The battery will
hold this temperature for 20 minutes. During the
heating process, short press and then long press
the battery button for 5 seconds to exit the battery
heating function.
Battery maintenance
1. Do not overcharge the battery, otherwise this
may cause damage.
2. If the battery is left unused for a long period of
time, its performance will be affected. Recharge
and discharge the battery every 3 months or so
to maintain battery activity.
3. It is recommended that the two batteries be
charged/discharged at the same time to obtain
the best power supply performance. It is recom-
mended to use the Autel Voyager pairing
function and mark the paired batteries.
Battery disposal
Before disposing of the battery, be sure to fully
discharge it before placing it in the designated
battery recycling bin. Batteries are hazardous
chemicals and are strictly prohibited to be placed
in ordinary trash bins. For details, please follow
local laws and regulations on battery recycling
and disposal.
Aircraft battery
The Dragonfish Standard rechargeable lithium
polymer battery has high energy density and a large
capacity. The battery needs to be charged with the
dedicated charger provided by Autel Robotics.
Checking the battery level
With the battery off, press the power button for 1
second, and then quickly release it to check the
battery level. The LED indicator will display the
current battery level as shown below.

Intelligent flight battery function
The intelligent flight battery has the following functions:
Storage self-discharge protection
If the battery is stored in a high temperature environment or is not used for 6 days and has a high
charge, the self-discharge protection will be activated. The battery will automatically discharge to a
safe level. This is the default setting, and the discharge process takes 2-3 days. Although the
battery has no indication during the self-discharge cycle, you will notice that the battery slightly
heats up, which is normal. The discharge threshold can be customized using Autel Voyager.
Low power protection
If the battery power is low, the battery will automatically enter sleep mode to prevent over-dis-
charge. In this mode, the battery does not respond when you press the power button. To wake up
the battery, connect it to a charger.
Charging temperature detection
If the temperature is lower than 5°C (41°F) or higher than 45°C (113°F) during charging, the battery
will stop charging.
Overcurrent protection
If the charging current exceeds 16A, the battery will stop charging.
Overcharge protection
When the battery is not in use, the battery will automatically cut off the power output function after
the self-discharge cycle is completed. This function is disabled during flight.
Balance protection
The voltage of each battery cell is kept balanced to prevent overcharging or over discharging.
Over discharge protection
When the battery is not in use, the battery will automatically cut off the power output function after
the self-discharge cycle is completed. This function is disabled during flight.
Short circuit protection
Once a short circuit is detected, the power supply will be cut off.
Power saving mode
If there is no operation for 30 minutes, the battery will shut down.
Communication
When in use, the aircraft will maintain synchronization with the battery to provide real-time informa-
tion, including voltage, capacity, current, and temperature.
Ultra-low energy consumption mode
To save power, this mode will be activated when the battery is low and has not been charged for 1
day. After connecting the charger, the battery will resume normal functions.
