@SpektrumRC with no storage charge option what would be the correct way of getting your battery into a storage voltage state?
@adamlove80942 жыл бұрын
@@we4fm175 Either watch the voltage of the batter while you charge it and stop it at 3.85v, maybe you can adjust the final charge voltage to 3.85v in the charger settings or you can just charge your battery all of the way up if it is Spektrum Smart battery and it should discharge itself to storage after 3 days. I do not like the last solution because it excludes other battery brands that a lot of hobbyists will have and it wastes electricity/money.

Watching videos about this charger, looks like the smart Spektrum batteries auto-discharge when charged with a smart charger after the amount of time (12-72hrs) set in the settings ... Can you just set the charge on the charger to 3.8V manually though so don't have to wait the 12-72hrs (if you know you just want to put them immediately into storage)? and/or let it goto the usual default 4.2V but just disconnect/stop the charging when you see its up to around 3.8/3.9V? Thanks!

Just bought one of these chargers and it’s ok so far. Only have one smart technology battery but plan on getting more. It’s first charge I did a 3s 5100 35c lipo and it charged a hair over 3000mah in about 45 mins which isn’t to bad. The packs old so it took longer to balance than anything. But question, the charger got awfully warm during the charge…..does it have a fan that’s supposed to kick on or no? Just curious

No! Read your instructions! They will save your house from burning down! Lipo batteries should never be left plugged in to anything. At minimum it can discharge the battery to zero and make it worthless, unrecoverable, and at worst it could burn your house down because lipo batteries are very flammable and burn very hot.

Why won't my brand new Spektrum S155 smart G2 charger recognize that my crappy NiMH battery is empty? The NiMH battery is only a month old and came with the rc car I just bought. I installed the newest firmware on the charger, so everything is up to date. I charged the battery with the 200mA charger a couple days ago, used up the battery today and wanted to try charging it on the smart charger for the first time. But when I plug in my NiMH battery and dial in all the settings, it reads the empty battery as having 90% charged, and only charges for 6 or 7 minutes. Funny thing is, it'll charge maybe a couple hundred mAh before stopping, but I can repeat this process multiple times. The battery reads full (99%), but will still charge again and again (for roughly 6-10 minutes - around 200-300mAh. What's up with this? Do I just repeat this process until the total mAh put into the battery (over multiple charging cycles) reaches the 1800 mAh rating on the battery? The 5000mAh 2S LiPo charges great and works great in the car too, but this backup NiMH is confusing me. Edit: so the battery was charging as I was writing this, and the 3rd time I charged it, it read 99% for the 47 minutes that it took to reach 1400 mAh capacity charged (in addition to the previous two charging cycles) before I stopped the charging manually. It didn't shut off automatically after 6-10 minutes like it did the previous 2 or 3 cycles.
