A grounded sprayer at the wrong time of season costs far more than the repair.
Agricultural drones are working machines — not hobbyist gear. A DJI Agras T40 battery pack or a worn pump assembly cannot wait six weeks in a national service queue. Eden Drone Repairs offers hands-on agricultural drone repair from our Western Cape workshop, with courier intake from across South Africa.
We understand that spraying windows are narrow, that battery packs are expensive to replace outright, and that you need a straight answer about whether a component is worth repairing or should be replaced.
Agricultural Battery Repair & Recelling
Battery pack failure is the most common cause of agricultural drone downtime. We service the following:
| Cell Diagnosis & Recelling Individual cell voltage and internal resistance testing. Cells outside specification are replaced with matched units. Pack reassembly and BMS validation. | BMS Testing & Repair Battery Management System diagnosis — charge balancing, protection circuit faults, communication errors. Board-level repair where viable. |
| Charging Port & Connector Repair High-current connector replacement, charging port damage repair, cable inspection. Common failure point on hard-used agricultural packs. | Capacity & Runtime Restoration After recelling, packs undergo calibration cycles and discharge testing to verify restored capacity. You receive a post-repair specification sheet. |
| Agricultural battery packs are expensive to replace new. In most cases, recelling a pack with degraded cells costs a fraction of a new unit — and gives you a pack with fresh cells and a known service history. |
Agricultural Sprayer System Repairs
We diagnose and repair the following sprayer-side faults on DJI Agras and compatible agricultural platforms:
- Pump motor diagnosis and replacement
- Nozzle blockage and pressure system testing
- Flow sensor faults and calibration errors
- Sprayer controller board diagnosis
- Tank mounting hardware and frame structural repair
- Boom arm damage — crash and handling damage
Note: sprayer system repairs require the full unit to be shipped — we cannot assess pump and nozzle systems from component parts alone.
Agricultural Drone Frame & Motor Repairs
- Motor replacement — Agras and heavy-lift multi-rotor motors
- Motor arm structural repair and replacement
- Frame crack assessment and repair
- Landing gear and folding mechanism repair
- ESC replacement and calibration on agricultural platforms
Agricultural Drone Care Plans
If you operate multiple agricultural drones or require scheduled maintenance agreements, we offer care plan arrangements. See the Agricultural Drone Care Plans page for tier details.
Care plan clients receive priority turnaround, scheduled pre-season inspections, and documented service history — useful for SACAA compliance records and insurance purposes.
Getting Your Agricultural Drone to Us
| From Cape Town & Western Cape: Courier Guy or Dawn Wing to our Heidelberg address. Same-day or next-day delivery. We’ll confirm receipt and begin intake within 24 hours. From Garden Route / Overberg: We are based in Heidelberg — central to George, Swellendam, and Hermanus. Local drop-off by appointment is available for large agricultural units. | From elsewhere in South Africa: We accept couriered drones nationally. For large Agras platforms, contact us first — we will advise on crating, declared value, and freight options. Turnaround for agricultural drones: Quoted case-by-case after inspection. Parts availability from SA suppliers is the primary variable — we will communicate proactively on timeline. |
| WhatsApp us with your drone model and a description of the fault before shipping. For large agricultural platforms (Agras T-series) we can advise on freight packaging and recommend suitable logistics partners. |
