Custom BYD Sharks launching AI-powered security drones across South Africa

Surely they are limited to the flight time of the dji drone which I would imagine is not very long.

Nope, when the drone lands in the dock it recharges

Yes, and V2L can do that. You talked about "longer deployments". I thought you were talking about making the drone fly longer. What is a "deployment"?

Not the BYD V2L on the Shark, plus there is still a need for power supply for the vehicle operation. Happy to show you the findings.

A deployment is when the vehicle is deployed to a site / project for a period of time. Can range from a few hours to days at a time.

How does an extra inverter allow it to run for days at a time?

By rotating between the feeds. Also tried idling the vehicle to charge batteries treating the vehicle as a generator and in some cases introduce 220v or solar.

V2L get power from the HV battery. Where does the 2nd inverter get power from?

Have set that to the max 23h59min. Problem is that it requires a recharge / restart at that point. In most cases there isnt a person at the vehicle at the time. The inverter charges off the either the V2L or power source inside the load bin. Switching between the two and or 22v or solar. Hence the complexity

Call me when the shark has lasers

Can't you use the byd app?

Tried that too, the setting has to be made on the console. Talking to BYD and their engineers to get a workaround.
