DJI Agras T50 batteries and charging: DB1560, C10000 and generator

The Agras T50 runs on the DB1560 Intelligent Flight Battery: 30,000 mAh at 52.22 V, about 12.1 kg. DJI rates a charge at 9 to 12 minutes using either the C10000 Intelligent Power Supply on 220–240 V mains or the D12000iE generator in the field, with batteries sitting in the included air-cooled heat sink. DJI says the battery lasts up to 1,500 charging cycles. Fast charging needs serious power, so plan your generator or electrical supply before your first spray day.

Agras T50 power system — From DJI's Agras T50 specs. DJI's 9-minute figure is 30% to 95%, with cell temperature between 15° and 70° C.

DB1560 battery

DJI's warranty on T50 batteries covers up to 1,500 cycles or 12 months, whichever comes first. The T50 weighs 39.9 kg without a battery and 52 kg with one.

Charging options

C10000 Intelligent Power Supply

On 220–240 V: up to 9,000 W output. DJI rates a full DB1560 charge at 9 to 12 minutes.
On 100–120 V: output drops to 3,000 W max, so charging takes longer.
Two inputs (main and auxiliary) on either voltage.
Protection against over-voltage, over-charge, under-voltage and over-temperature.

D12000iE Multifunctional Inverter Generator

12,000 W engine, 9,000 W DC charging output.
Also powers the air-cooled heat sink and provides AC output: 230 V/1,500 W or 120 V/750 W, depending on region.
30 L fuel tank, unleaded gasoline RON 91 or higher (AKI 87 or higher).
DJI says its fuel injection uses about 15% less fuel than comparable generators.
Availability varies by country.

Third-party generator

DJI's T50 FAQ says to use a generator with 220–240 V output and at least 12 kW, connecting the live, neutral and earth wires of the C10000's two fast-charging cables to the matching terminals.

Getting the fastest charge

DJI lists what affects charging time:

Cell temperature: must be between 15° and 70° C (59° to 158° F) for fast charging. Use the air-cooled heat sink.
Altitude of the charging station.
Cables that meet fast-charging requirements.

DJI's marketing figure of 9 minutes is measured from 30% to 95%. Plan on the full 9 to 12 minute spec range.

How many batteries?

The idea is to keep the drone flying while one battery charges. Count it like this: if a spray flight plus refilling takes about as long as a charge, two batteries can keep up. In hot weather, with slower 120 V charging, or on short flights, add a third so a battery always has time to cool. Watch your own cycle times on day one, then decide.

Field tips

Keep batteries out of direct sun between flights.
Payload limits fall with altitude. DJI says to reduce payload by 10 kg for every 1,000 m.
Set the generator on level ground with the charger and heat sink close by, so cables stay short and off the path of the truck and drone.
