Spektrum™ S2100 G2 2x100W AC Smart Charger
The S2100 Smart AC Charger makes battery charging the easiest it has ever been. Its Auto Charge feature recognizes your Smart battery's parameters, such as chemistry type and charge rate, and begins safe, correct charging automatically when the charge lead is connected. A clock on the charger's screen counts until your Smart battery is fully charged and ready to use. Balancing Smart batteries is just as simple. The S2100 charger will balance your Smart LiPo packs through the same, single IC connection used for charging. No separate, confusing balance leads are required when charging a Smart G2 battery.
The S2100 Smart AC Charger's updated, improved user interface features fresh, intuitive menus, icons, and navigation tools. Its clear, easily understandable indicators of Smart battery history and performance provide the information you need to make the best decisions about your batteries when putting gear together for a day at the field or track. USB input and output ports enable you to charge secondary devices and update the charger's firmware, so you always have the latest features. The S2100 Smart AC Charger also includes an ON/OFF switch, cooling fan, detachable power cord, and sleek case with rubber grips that fits perfectly on your workbench and in your pit or field bag.
Spektrum 14.8V 5000mAh 4S 100C Smart G2 Hardcase LiPo IC5 Battery (Two Batteries Included)
Drivers enjoy even more Smart advantages when using Spektrum™ Smart G2 100C LiPo batteries to power their vehicles. New "Generation 2" features make these LiPo packs — featuring a 100C continuous discharge rating for high performance and longevity — even simpler and safer to use together with your Smart charger.
For example, Spektrum™ Smart G2 technology makes it much easier to balance charge your LiPo batteries. Balancing information travels through the unique data wire of each Smart G2 battery's innovative IC3® or IC5® connector. As a result, only a single connection is needed — no separate balance lead is required.
Smart G2 batteries come from the factory programmed to discharge automatically to a safe storage voltage of 3.90V after 72 hours of inactivity. The benefits include longer battery life, better performance over the life of the pack, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your Smart battery is maintenance-free. You can change the battery's Auto Storage settings based on your own preferences. G2 batteries also offer a storage discharge rate that's three times faster than the previous G1 Smart batteries.
As with other Smart batteries, you'll never have to set your own charging preferences for a Spektrum™ Smart G2 battery until you want to. When a Smart G2 LiPo battery is connected to a Spektrum™ Smart charger, its unique charging parameters and health information upload to the charger from the battery's integrated memory microchip. Through the charger you can view and set preferences such as charge rates, so all that's required to charge the pack is connecting it to your Smart charger. Smart technology takes care of the rest.
