The Spektrum™ S155 charger makes advanced, user-friendly Smart charging technology affordable for any RC hobbyist. It's an excellent choice for cost-conscious new drivers 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 charge and balance Smart G2 batteries using one simple connection. No separate balance lead is needed.

Spektrum™ 5000mAh 2S 7.4V Smart G2 Lipo 50C: IC5
Drivers enjoy even more Smart advantages when using Spektrum™ Smart G2 50C LiPo batteries to power their vehicles. "Generation 2" features make these LiPo packs — featuring a 50C continuous discharge rating for high performance and longevity — even simpler and safer to use with your Smart charger.
For example, Spektrum™ Smart G2 technology makes balancing charge your LiPo batteries much easier. Balancing information travels through the unique data wire of each Smart G2 battery's innovative IC3® 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 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 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. You can view and set preferences such as charge rates through the charger, so everything required to charge the pack is connecting it to your Smart charger. Smart technology takes care of the rest. Simpler and safer to use.
