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!
