Spektrum Smart Technology chargers & LiPo batteries

Coming from Horizon Hobby are the new Spektrum Smart Technology chargers and LiPo battery packs. The Spektrum Smart Technology practically takes care of all of the battery’s vital aspects while storing unique data such as chemistry type, cycle count, charge rate, error log, and more, plus programming options to custom tailor the Smart LiPo battery to the owner’s needs. This innovative connection is made possible by an installed microchip on every battery, feeding the unique information through a data cable to the new IC3 and IC5 connectors. Every Smart LiPo battery is factory assembled with the next-generation IC3 or IC5 output connector that’s conveniently compatible with older devices equipped with EC3 and EC5 connectors. Owners can use Smart batteries with non-Smart systems, but only when connected to a Spektrum Smart device will all the benefits of Smart technology become obvious.
