18S30AH Intelligent LiPo Battery

18S30AH Intelligent LiPo Battery

Engineered for rugged outdoor use, Hylio’s 18S30Ah Intelligent LiPo Battery is optimized for fast-charging, ensuring maximum productivity. Featuring a convenient blade connector and locking mechanism, the battery effortlessly slides in and out of the ARES battery dock for quick and secure swapping between flights.

9000W LiPo Battery charger

9000W LiPo Battery Charger

The ARES features an 18S 9KW LiPo Dual-Channel Charger, delivering a total output of 120A—either 120A on a single channel or 60A per channel when charging simultaneously. This charger can replenish a pair of batteries in approximately 20–25 minutes, or a single battery in 10–12 minutes, with the actual charge rate varying based on factors such as power source voltage and capacity, ambient temperature, and battery discharge level.

Obstacle Avoidance

The AgriDrones detect and avoid obstacles in real-time using multiple radar sensors. This feature is active in both autonomous and manual control modes. You can fly with confidence in complicated areas thanks to this safety feature.

Real-Time Kinematic Positioning

While standard GPS accuracy meets the needs of many applications, Hylio’s RTK base station solution delivers centimeter-level precision for those that demand it. The AgriDrone’s GPS units are already compatible with the RTK system—simply set up the base station, click “connect,” and enjoy immediate access to real-time RTK corrections.

All-In-One Controller

Every AgriDrone from Hylio is equipped with their proprietary GroundLink Controller. Designed and built in-house, this all-in-one, NDAA-compliant ground station solution features a rugged, ergonomic controller that integrates a 13.3” Windows-based tablet and a 2.4 GHz radio. With GroundLink, seamlessly access both autonomous and manual controls from a single, unified platform.

Next Level Features Built for Work

Control

Hylio’s AgriDrones offer the flexibility of both autonomous and manual flight control. Command up to three unmanned aerial systems simultaneously from a single ground station for fully automated operations, while each AgriDrone also comes equipped with an RC controller for seamless manual control when needed.

Reliability

Hylio designs and builds its systems to endure the real-world challenges of field work. Constructed with aerospace-grade materials, equipped with redundant subsystems, and featuring easily serviceable components, our AgriDrones are engineered to reliably perform heavy-duty tasks day in and day out.

Monitor

Benefit from an extensive array of sensors that provide real-time access to critical metrics—GPS position, flow rate, altitude, and more. All flight and treatment data is seamlessly stored in your account, giving you instant access to as-applied maps, maintenance records, and additional insights through our user-friendly interface.
