New Product Launch: T-FC100 MINI Tethered Power Solution for DJI FlyCart 100 – Enabling Long-Endurance, Continuous Aerial Operations Without Battery Limitations
A Dedicated Long-Endurance Power System for DJI FlyCart 100
As industrial drone applications continue to expand into scenarios that demand extended flight duration and uninterrupted operation, battery limitations remain a critical bottleneck. To address this challenge, Foxtech introduces the T-FC100 MINI Tethered Power Solution, a purpose-built system designed specifically for the DJI FlyCart 100, enabling continuous aerial operation without the constraints of onboard batteries.
Product Overview
The T-FC100 MINI is a compact, high-performance tethered power system that supplies continuous energy from a ground-based power source to the drone in flight. By converting ground AC power into high-voltage DC and transmitting it through a reinforced tether cable, the system allows the drone to remain airborne for extended periods, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Designed with seamless integration in mind, the onboard module mimics the form factor of the original battery, allowing for quick installation and minimal modification. This ensures that operators can deploy the system rapidly while maintaining the reliability and structural integrity of the drone.
Compatible Drone Platform
DJI FlyCart 100
The T-FC100 MINI is specifically engineered for use with the DJI FlyCart 100, a heavy-lift logistics drone known for its high payload capacity and industrial-grade performance.
The onboard power module is designed as a direct battery replacement, ensuring full compatibility with the drone’s power interface and flight system. This plug-and-play approach simplifies deployment and reduces setup complexity in field operations.
The FlyCart 100 is widely used in applications such as cargo transportation, emergency response, and infrastructure support. However, its standard flight time is limited when operating under heavy load conditions. The integration of a tethered power system transforms it into a persistent aerial platform capable of long-duration missions.
Key Features
Extended Flight Duration
One of the most significant advantages of the T-FC100 MINI is its ability to provide continuous power for extended missions. With a stable ground power supply, the system supports multiple hours of uninterrupted flight, making it ideal for operations that require sustained aerial presence.
High Power Output
The system is engineered to meet the demanding power requirements of the FlyCart 100. It features a high-capacity ground station with strong output capabilities and an efficient onboard conversion module, ensuring stable and consistent energy delivery throughout the flight.
Long Tether Capability
With a maximum tether length of up to 220 meters, the system enables high-altitude operations while maintaining a secure and stable power connection. This allows for greater flexibility in deployment across various environments.
Durable and Reliable Cable System
The tether cable is designed for both strength and electrical performance. It offers high tensile capacity, excellent insulation, and durability over repeated deployment cycles. This ensures safe operation even in demanding conditions.
Rapid Deployment
Operational efficiency is further enhanced by a quick deployment design. The system can be set up and ready for operation within a short time frame, making it suitable for time-sensitive missions such as emergency response or temporary infrastructure deployment.
Safety and Protection
The T-FC100 MINI incorporates multiple layers of safety protection to ensure reliable performance during long-duration operations. These include:
- Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
- Overcurrent and short-circuit protection
- Thermal protection mechanisms
- Stable voltage regulation for sensitive onboard systems
Additionally, the onboard unit is designed with environmental protection in mind, allowing it to operate reliably in a range of outdoor conditions.
Application Scenarios
By combining the heavy-lift capabilities of the DJI FlyCart 100 with continuous tethered power, the T-FC100 MINI unlocks a wide range of new use cases:
Persistent Aerial Surveillance
Ideal for security monitoring, event oversight, and perimeter control where continuous aerial visibility is required.
