Sold / Found Spektrum battery charger

[Jes2]

I'm looking for a cheap spektrum battery charger for a 3s 11.1v 3400Mah battery that I bought when I purchased the capra. I also bought some aft market Zeee's Amazon special which work fine for capra and my balance charger but I can't charge the spektrum on the balance charger (unless someone knows of an adapter).

These 2 chargers from Traxxas would be a nice upgrade. If they are what you're looking for, get em while you can.

Thanks Rocketzx1 I followed your lead on the Traxxas and went and clicked on Amazon ez-peak live and another battery for good measure.

I have use a few different chargers. Regardless of what anyone may say about spectrum, they work well. Work with all lipos (that I use). Spectrum batteries are spendy, but when charging spectrum batteries on their own charger you turn on the charger.....that's it. it will ID the battery and then charge it correctly. and more. I still use other brands ( less expensive).

Horizon Hobbies recommends using its Spektrum Smart Charger for its G2 series LiPo's. Here is an entry level charger that meets that recommendation. Hope this helps. Good luck. -AC

G2 Charger

Unfortunately, it's more than a recommendation. The Spektrum G2 batteries have no balance adapter, so you MUST use a Spektrum Smart Charger to charge them.

The S155 recommended above is a great charger. That's actually what I use for all my batteries, and I don't own any Spektrum batteries. It's easy to use, charges at up to 5 amps, and it just works.

The cheapest option for you @Jes2 is the S120 at $25. It can charge your Spektrum G2s and any other batteries with external balance adapters. The only downside is the fact that it's hardcoded at a .85 amp output. Meaning, it takes forever to charge bigger batteries.

I believe Spektrum G2 Lipo Batteries will only work with Spektrum G2 Chargers although i've never owned a battery and charger from them before but i have done research on them in the past. The main IC connector also has the balance lead built into it like how Traxxas ID Lipo batteries have the balance lead built into them and they will only work with a Traxxas ID charger. Spektrum has quite a few chargers in their lineup the S155 is currently $70 USD all the way up to the S2200 which is currently $320 USD. If i were to get into their battery\charger eco system i would get the S2100 since it's a dual with 100w per channel (200W total) it's also $200 USD. But the choice is up to you.

Whatever you buy don't let it be a s100 spektrum complete junk.

I have been using the S1100 for a couple years and it will charge most of my packs from storage to full in about 25 minutes, about an hour to go to full charge after a run. I use it for all of my LiPO packs and have had no problems with it. I don't think I'd want to go smaller, but don't really need more/faster or dual ports, either, so good choice for me. I also have an AcesGen dual 200(?) that would charge my non-G2 LiPOs if I needed to, but usually only use that for NiMH packs.

+1 WRM.

S1100 is my charger of choice as well. Also have a ProTek Prodigy66 but seldom use it. It's a good charger, just don't use it much as I am cutting over to Spektrum Smart G2's and drawing down the rest of my LiPo inventory.

gensacearespammers d300 gtech charger for the win ! I will never buy spectrum g2 batteries or g2 chargers! gensacearespammers smart batteries have all smart features but don't lock you down and the d300 will smart charger the gtech batteries but also charge the zeee batteries as well. Plus its ac or dc and will charge 2 at once.
