Our intelligent BMS extends battery life by 30% in the same form factor.
Exceed industry standards with our S-Tier Safety Testing Protocol for total compliance.
Fit powerful, custom batteries into award-winning designs with our miniaturization expertise.
Confined-space inspection drones operate in harsh environments such as pipelines, storage tanks, and underground facilities. These demanding conditions require highly reliable and durable battery systems.
At Himax Electronics, we engineer rugged, industrial-grade battery solutions designed to maximize flight time, ensure signal stability, and maintain flawless performance in extreme environments.
Industrial micro drones often carry advanced payloads such as LiDAR sensors, thermal cameras, and high-intensity LED systems. These components demand consistent and high-performance power delivery.
Key design advantages include:
Safety and durability are critical in industrial inspection scenarios, especially in confined or hazardous environments.
Our safety features include:
We provide flexible customization services tailored to industrial drone manufacturers and system integrators.
Customization capabilities include:
Q1: Can the BMS communicate battery health data to a ground station?
Yes. Our BMS supports communication protocols such as CAN bus or UART, enabling real-time battery data monitoring.
Q2: Do you offer protective battery housings for collision environments?
Yes. We provide custom lightweight enclosures using materials like carbon fiber or polycarbonate for enhanced protection.
Q3: Can the battery support high-power external equipment such as LED arrays?
Absolutely. Our battery systems are configured to handle both propulsion and high-draw peripherals simultaneously.
An industrial inspection company deploys micro drones to enter confined spaces such as pipes, tanks, ducts, and indoor structures. These platforms carry cameras, sensors, and lighting while operating in challenging environments with limited GPS and turbulent airflow. During practical missions, they encountered multiple battery-related problems. Insufficient burst power for quick attitude corrections increased collision and crash risks in tight spaces. Limited flight time when carrying sensors and lighting forced frequent landings and battery changes, reducing inspection efficiency. Concerns also arose about battery durability under vibration, temperature variations, and occasional impacts. Additionally, the client needed reliable documentation to satisfy industrial customers’ safety and maintenance requirements. Therefore, they urgently required a compact, high-burst, and durable LiPo battery solution for micro inspection drones.
To solve these issues, Himax Electronics designed a compact multi-cell LiPo pack specifically optimized for industrial micro-inspection drones. A typical configuration includes 11.1V (3S) 1800mAh, 40C discharge, with reinforced insulation and industrial-grade materials. First, we integrated a protection circuit and reinforced lead routing to reduce the risk of mechanical damage and short circuits during operation in narrow spaces. Then, we adjusted the cell chemistry and pack design to balance high burst capability with stable thermal behavior during continuous hover and maneuvering. To validate industrial suitability, the pack underwent UN38.3 transportation testing, extended cycle life and vibration tests simulating repeated inspection missions, plus thermal performance evaluation under different ambient temperatures and continuous load. Himax also supplied clear documentation for industrial customers’ safety and maintenance requirements.
After adopting the Himax battery pack, the micro inspection drone achieved longer mission times and stronger maneuvering capability under load. Operators reported fewer emergency landings due to low voltage and more stable performance when performing precise movements near obstacles. The improved reliability allowed the client to complete more inspection points per flight, reducing overall mission time and operational cost. Better mission continuity and safety helped the company win additional service contracts in oil, gas, and infrastructure inspection segments. Why Himax Electronics? We bring deep experience in designing packs for demanding industrial and inspection applications, the ability to customize pack structure, protection, and test plans to match specific mission profiles, plus reliable supply and technical support for long-term projects and fleet deployments.
