Buyer beware, I have owned this spectrum s2200 charger for about 5 months, on one occasion it decided to charge one of my 2s lipos 4.5v per cell, the menu froze and I had to turn it off then on again to get it back. It has since never done this again, but recently the screen fell inside of it, keep in mind this charger sits on my desk, and goes on the occasional trip to the cottage, it never had an impact. I took it apart to repair, and it was obvious why it failed. The charger is so cheaply put togeather, 4 tiny screws hold the screen in place about 4 threads. The stand-off the screws go into are also ridiculously small. The plastic they used is so brittle, I was not ably to remove 2 of the screws that weren’t broken without breaking them. I was able to repair the charger by drilling and putting screws through the casing. Not impressed for a premium charger I expected much more. I will not be buying anymore spectrum products. I have been bitten 3 times now.

Spektrum products are garbage. Anything I own thats Spektrum at this point is only cuz it came in a RTR.

I despise Spektrum, their stuff is subpar, the only things that I own from Spektrum were in an RTR. I personally use a Hitec RDX1 Pro as my charger and it’s great!
