Thanks Ryan, I didn't realize my batteries were going to auto discharge. I had set timer for 72 hours. But it's been a couple of days so I thought I needed to discharge them "manually" I realize now it's automatic but I set it to 48 hours instead of 72.

Thanks man, I just got smart batteries and charger today. Was looking at how to check and set the discharge. Ur video was perfect!

You must have been reading my mind just got home from HobbyTown with adapter cable for my 6S battery and was having trouble with auto storage screen.. Thanks for your time.

Holy crap, i'm returning my venom batteries for these. The auto discharge feature is amazing.

Salute to you Maj. Great tutorial. I just bought one of the Smart chargers, now to get the Smart Checker. (Sgt. Mike H. F-5E crew chief ret.)

Great info Ryan. That long push was what I was missing, thanks for passing this on.

Getting smarter everday. Good information on the Smart technology.

I’m new to this and found this guy really helpful. Many thanks bud !!

Great up close vid. I just ordered all this stuff for my planes. I’m with you on upside down reading . It takes talent lol 😂

Ryan. Thanks for the little tutorial on the SMART tech. I’m like you...I think i’ll be transitioning to this Smart stuff myself. I sure wish HH would have included that adapter for the big Smart batteries for use with that S1500....Hint hint....Horizon...If your watching. All good anyway. 👊😉👍

Great info Ryan. I have too many other batteries right now, but can see myself switching over to Smart in the future.

Great job Ryan, big things happening, wait for it lol, getting smarter myself along with Cody’s help, great video buddy👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤓🤓

Thankyou this is very helpful and SMART!!!👍👍

Great job,,,,,,😎

Hey Ryan checking it out now, thank you, Jeff in LA USA

I’m glad you finally figured how to use the Smart Checker.When you got all that stuff for free tried to tell you how it works but you thought I was full of .....

Ryan , its the best thing since sliced bread

Thanks for this great information. 👍👏👏

As always great learning video.

Thank you, you answered my question.

This is great. I'll get SMART after I outgrow my Protek Prodigy🙂

Will this show voltage on 1s lipos? Specs show for for 1s but also say input voltage starts at 5v.

Hi Ryan, I can finally show up tonight!! If you're looking for a suggestion for a show topic, how about how to hook up the Aura 8? I've tried with two receivers , a Lemon 10 channel and a Spektrum AR7610 and no luck. Out of frustration, I ordered a Spektrum AR8010t which I supposedly can 'S Bus' into the Aura 8. Hopefully this will work but seeing as you have some Flex Innovations airplanes, you'd be a lot more familiar with the system, thanks, Dan

I really really like these batteries, however, rcjetwerx and roaring tops are hard not to still get also

Hey Ryan awesome vids! Question, I thought the whole idea with the Smart batteries was not having to plug in the balance lead? On the Smart FB forums I think Tom G stated you only need to plug in the main battery lead? Thanks again, enjoying these vids on Smart tech.

Hi 👋 there love your videos when changing the 3s smart battery what current should I have on ?

Forgive my ignorance but I’m fairly new to the lipo battery world. Once I set my discharge on the smart checker I don’t need to have the battery plugged into the charger any longer for it to discharge? I just want to make sure I’m understanding this correctly.

Just got this setup and have a question about the auto storage. Let's say if you set it to 12h setting is that when it starts discharging or when it's finished by?? Can't seem to find answer to this anywhere

There are no Task Settings labeled "Smart Discharge" or even an "Auto Discharge". There are only 3 settings and they are named: "Charge", "Discharge" and "Storage". You can ruin a perfectly good battery if you don't push the arrow that last third time down to "Storage". If you go only as far as Discharge without knowing it, the battery will be discharged down to zip. This has been my experience but I luckily caught it at 2 volts. My Comment is a warning about using the "Discharge" setting as I almost ruined my battery. The "Instruction Manual" because it in only safety and regulatory,,, not How to use the settings and what they mean. (thrown in the box to fulfill a regulatory requirement .) They need to do a proper DFU (Directions For Use) . You video is very good in that it shows how to set the "Storage" task but do not address, demonstrate, or use the "Discharge" Task. I have not been able to find an answer anywhere despite hours of research on the Spektrum S1200 G2 Smart Charger. Question #1: In Settings: TASK: There are 3 choices: Charge, Discharge, and Storage. What is the technical difference between two settings on " Storage" and "Discharge"? I know what Storage does. It will bring up the voltage or lower the voltage to the presets you set with the XBC100 Smart Checker. The Problem: I set the S1200 to "Discharge" to reduce the charge on a fully charged battery I did not get to use on my flying day. The Issue was that after a while, maybe after 1/2 hr it pulled the voltage down to 2 volts and I was alarmed and stopped it. What is the purpose of the "Discharge Setting"? If I had used the Storage setting there would not have been a problem. I hope you can try this out because I haven't been able to find any explanation or actual official guidance on this TASK called "Discharge" when they should at least have a warning about its use. Thanks in advance.

Great info as i had trouble figuring this out. lucky for me you and Dave helped me on the live feed! Q: you can also change the charge current, mine are set to 3.3A I know it can be set lower, as yours are 3.2A in the video. 2200 3s pack should be at ?? 3.0A 1.0A ... i charge with the S150 and that is the settings i can choose from. Thanks for your input Ryan!

I am new to these size lipo batts. I purchased the Spektrum 5000 mah 36 100c. I have the Spektrum S150 smart charger and smart battery checker. I have two questions. First what is the max amps I can charge this battery at? The S150 goes up to 5 amps. Secondly, I’ve seen mixed info on storage voltage for these. What sis the proper storage voltage for this size Spektrum smart battery? They are pricey and I’d really like to care for them properly. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance. Great vid by the way, learned a lot.

How can spektrum chargers be plugged in at the field? My HiTec charger can be plugged into a DC port at the field. We have solar power out there. I haven't seen anything that allows you to do this with the smart chargers.

Thanks Ryan, great video. I have a question: when you set the discharge for say 48 hrs, does that mean the battery will BEGIN to discharge in 48 hrs or it will BE discharged within 48 hrs? Thank you to anyone who can answer this for me.

Can you set auto discharge using the spektrum ss150 charger and spektrum smart lipo batteries? thanks

although at a slower rate; can't you just use the smart checker to dis-charge ? there is a 'cell balance' function so if you set the cells for 3.80 v., will it discharge too that level and then give an audible beep? I'm still experimenting :-) . I use that checker and smart batteries...thanks

I have standardized all of my batteries and chargers to XT style plugs. Does Spektrum chargers come with XT receptacles or do i have to make adaptors?

I have a new 3s lipo 5000 mah smart tech battery. I don’t have a Spektrum charger. I noticed after I charge the battery when I check it’s charge level 2 days later it’s about 50% charged. I thought battery was bad. I have 2 and both do it same thing. I assume they are auto discharging? Any thoughts?

Thanks Ryan 😎

Hey boss I just bought a 6s 50c 4000mah, bashed it twice and it seems it is stuck on auto discharge? What are the default auto discharge settings of a brand new lipo?

Wow .. Way too cool

Ryan, can you tell me what kind of connector is a FMS P-47 Razorback 1500mm ECU? The reason I'm asking before I but all 5S G-2 Smart Battery's for the plane I want make sure that I don't need a Adapter for them. Thank you in advance!

Do these batteries have a built in cut off built in?

Can I charge one of these smart batteries on a standard balance charger?

I just charged my 3 cell 2200 for the first time, new rtf carbon cub. Is there a place the battery needs to be for the week as it discharges itself? Special bag , out in the open in my tool bag? For safety. Thanks for your advice.

Hey Pilot Ryan! Are you saying once to set the auto storage you can unplug the battery and put it in a Lipo bag and it will discharge? Or does it have to be plugged into your charger?

2 years late but do they get hot when they self discharge?

Hi Ryan, after two days does the battery discharge itself or do you have to have it plugged into the charger to drain it down?

How do you do this and charge the smart batteries to Storage Charge on the Spektrum S120 and S150 chargers? (after Ive flown and the batteries are below storage charge)

Good evening bro. This is off the subject. But what is the best or biggest battery you can use in the new P51 1450mm plane. ????

Can i change the connector on a smart battery and balance charge it on a regular lipo charger ? if yes... what to do with the little wire ?

Why does it take 3 hours to put a smart battery into storage? My Icharger 3010b only takes less than 30 minutes to put a battery into storage 3.88volts.

So how do I storage a battery that's at lipo cutoff at like 3.64?

Is your hat 17.2 degrees skewed to the right or 17.4 degrees? How long does it take you to put it on? lol just ribbing ya.

Mine doesn't detect one of my batteries as smart anymore

Slow connection here, can't watch it!

So Auto storage isn't enabled for my apparently overpriced smart battery until I buy this other $40 do-dad? Frustrating
