❓ How do temperature and weather conditions affect drone battery performance?

Temperature significantly impacts drone battery performance:

• Cold weather (below 10°C/50°F) reduces capacity and flight time
• Hot weather (above 35°C/95°F) can damage the battery
• High humidity can cause internal corrosion

In cold conditions, pre-warm batteries to room temperature before flight and expect 20-30% shorter flight times. According to NASA's research, battery performance can drop by up to 40% in extreme cold. Consider using battery warmers for winter operations and never charge batteries at extreme temperatures.
