Precautions for Battery Use
• Smart battery should be fully charged and used in strict accordance with instructions preceding operation.
• NEVER insert/remove the battery when it is ON, or it may cause damage to the interface.
• It is a MUST to check and update to the latest battery firmware and software version preceding
operation. Loss caused by failing to do so shall be borne by the user.
• An optimal ambient temperature range for the battery is from 10 ℃ to 45 ℃ . Chances are that re,
even explosions will happen at a temperature over 45℃ .
• NEVER connect the cathode and anode with a wire or other metals, as this will cause a short circuit.
• For heat dissipation, the battery should be immersed into pure water instead of corrosive liquids
within the maximum and minimum level indicated for NO more than 60min, or else the battery will
get damaged for having water leak inside.
• Please always keep the interface clean and clean the liquid or foreign matters off it promptly.
Otherwise, it will cause poor contact, contributing to energy loss or failure to charge.
• Please handle the battery with care and do NOT take it apart, pierce the housing or apply pressure
to it, including but not limited to behaviours such as sitting/standing on the battery, stacking heavy
items on it and the like.
• Please regularly check the components like the battery interface and the plug before use. NEVER
clean the charging device with alcohol or other combustible liquids. NEVER use the damaged
charging device.
• Please place the battery and charging device on even ground with no combustible materials around
while charging. NEVER leave the battery unattended while charging in case of an accident.
• For your safety, keep a minimum of 30cm distance between the battery and the charger, and between
two batteries, lest too much heat lead to the charger or battery failure, even causing dreadful
consequences like a re.
• Please make sure the battery is fully charged prior to each operation. NEVER operate at full capacity
preceding completion of charging.
• NEVER use batteries provided by manufacturers other than XAG, or to dismantle/replace the battery
without permission. If necessary, please contact XAG or the authorized dealer. For the battery
incidents, technical faults or other accidents caused by using a battery or accessories provided by
non-XAG manufacturers, the user shall be held responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom.
• If one green light ashes at the end of the operation, please charge the battery to 40%~60% before
storage. Failing to do so may damage the battery or impact battery life. Fully discharge and recharge
the battery every 90 days to maintain battery health.
• Battery should be charged with the charging device specied by XAG. Otherwise, user shall assume
all the economic and legal responsibilities arising therefrom.
• The Intelligent SuperCharger needs to be purchased separately. If necessary, please contact your local
dealer.
• The battery should be stored at 10~30℃ in a dry place instead of a wet or moist environment.
• Avoid moisture while charging the battery. Warranty does NOT cover any damage caused by problems
not attributable to the product quality like damaged battery housing.
• The battery is waterproof and splashproof under controlled experiment. However, rather than being
permanent eective, the protection may get weaker due to wear and tear.
• Please STOP using the batter swollen, leaking, deformed or with appearance damage instantly and
contact XAG or the dealer without hesitation.

Liquid Tank
Infusion
Twist the cap counterclockwise to open the tank. Upon
infusion, turn the cap clockwise till it is tight.
Removal / Installation
Afrer installing the Liquid Tank, wire up the Liquid Tank Signal Cable and insert it into the cable holder.
Unwire the Liquid Tank Signal Cable before removing the Liquid Tank.
Please DO handle the tank with pesticide inside with care.
It is highly recommended to empty liquid tank/granule container beforehand to enhance the
eciency of aerial mapping.
A drone with RealTerra installed is unable to spray or spread.
Note
To protect components from chemical splash damage,
direct pesticide infusion is NOT allowed when the tank is
installed on the drone.
Note
• The liquid inside the battery is highly corrosive. In case of contact with skin or eyes, ush with fresh
water and seek medical attention instantly.
• To protect our environment, please properly dispose of the battery as required by the local laws and
