Waterproofing the battery pack is critical, especially in devices such as drones to ensure the safety and stability of the battery.
1. Waterproof case design
Usually manufacturers will use a waterproof hard and airtight case to wrap the entire battery pack to protect the internal components and ensure that the battery pack is not damaged in a humid environment. Cases made of plastics such as polycarbonate or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) may also have gaskets and O-rings added to the case to create a tight seal that prevents water from entering.
2. Waterproof coating
Apply a specially designed waterproof coating to the surface of the battery pack to prevent moisture from penetrating the battery. Silicone-based coatings or encapsulation using potting compounds can provide a protective film to seal the battery and prevent water from penetrating. This approach helps maintain battery integrity.
3. Sealant

Use sealant or silicone to seal the seams and connections around the battery pack to prevent moisture from penetrating inside the battery. Apply a silicone-based or epoxy sealant to the seams, openings, or connections of the battery case to increase water resistance.
4. Protective package
When needed, the entire battery pack can be wrapped in a specially designed waterproof case to provide additional waterproof protection. Waterproof heat shrinkable film or tape specifically designed for battery protection can provide an impermeable protective barrier.
5. Maintenance routine
Regularly check the waterproof performance of the battery pack and replace damaged waterproof parts in a timely manner. Checking for signs of wear, damage or seal failure and addressing these issues promptly can prevent water intrusion and maintain waterproofing effectiveness.
By using these methods, waterproof measures are integrated into the battery design and maintenance process, which can effectively protect the battery from water damage and ensure the reliability and safety of the battery in various application scenarios.
