Spektrum In Action

In this video we go over a new addition to the Smart charger ecosystem, the S155 charger!
The Spektrum™ S155 charger makes advanced, user-friendly Smart G2 charging technology affordable for any RC hobbyist. It’s a particularly fine choice for cost-conscious new drivers and pilots who want the safe and simple operation that only a Smart charger can provide.

Compatible with 4S LiPo, LiFe, Li-Ion, or LiHV batteries as well as 1-12S NiMH and NiCd packs, the 55-watt S155 charger can be used with all popular RC battery types (though only Smart batteries take full advantage of the charger’s innovative features). It includes ports for IC3® and IC5® connectors, so no separate adapters are needed to charge most Smart batteries. Generation 2 Smart technology enables the S155 to both charge and balance Smart G2 batteries using one simple connection. No separate balance lead is needed. When connected to a Smart battery, its Auto Charge feature recognizes the correct charging parameters instantly and begins safe, proper charging — automatically.

In order to provide the most hassle-free charging experience, the Spektrum™ S155 Smart G2 AC Charger includes a color LCD screen with improved menus, icons, and navigation tools. Its intuitive interface allows users to monitor charging progress and make setting changes with ease. An on-screen clock counts down the minutes in real time until your Smart battery is fully charged and ready to use.

When it’s time to update the charger firmware, that’s easy, too. A USB input port is conveniently located on the front of the case. No special cables are required.

Other handy features of the Spektrum™ S155 Smart G2 AC Charger include a sleep mode and detachable AC power cord. Enjoy your hobby more with the benefits of advanced, user-friendly Smart G2 charging technology — now available at a price to please any modeler!
