Li-Battery Systems
SMOTO develops scalable lithium-ion battery systems with integrated BMS and matching charging solution as part of complete electric drive systems.
SMOTO battery systems are laid out around the cell chemistry, capacity, package space and safety of the application – from a compact robotics system to a UAV with high current demand. Our UAV battery system delivers 60 V / 500 A and is unique in Europe. Because motor, inverter and battery are developed in-house, we match the energy storage to the drive early – from range to discharge power, depending on what your application needs.
Together, we define which cell chemistry and cell format fit the application. Voltage and capacity are matched to power demand, runtime and available package space. The BMS handles monitoring, balancing and protection functions; interfaces such as CAN can be connected to your system architecture. Charger, charging strategy, package design and safety concept are included early in the design.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Li-ion battery system for UAVs?
A Li-ion battery system for UAVs is a rechargeable energy storage system with integrated battery management (BMS) that supplies high, brief power for take-off and hover while maximising energy density and safety.
What power can the SMOTO UAV battery deliver?
SMOTO's UAV battery system delivers 60 V / 500 A – unique in Europe – designed for the high burst currents of UAV take-off and VTOL hover.
What does the BMS do?
The battery management system monitors cell voltages, temperature, charge/discharge currents and balancing – ensuring safety, long service life and reliable performance.
Why does C-rate matter for drone batteries?
The C-rate describes how fast a battery can be discharged relative to its capacity. UAV take-off and VTOL hover demand brief, very high C-rates, which the system must be designed for.
