The Spektrum S2100 Smart Charger is the first dual-output AC Smart Charger to feature Spektrum Smart Charging technology. Small and portable, this 200W charger features the Spektrum IC3™connector that delivers a robust connection that also reads vital battery content that relays to a bright LCD color display to clearly show unique information and log data about your Smart Battery such as how many charge cycles the pack has, and much more.

Spektrum Smart Overview
Spektrum Smart technology is about offering a higher connection to your hobby. It’s a connection that puts you in complete control, makes you more aware and more confident about the capability of your equipment—all the while making vital components of your model easier to use than ever. The combined result is a sense that will make you wish everything about your hobby was “smarter.”

For all radio control hobbyists that are looking for a better way to charge batteries, Spektrum Smart Chargers and Smart Batteries combine for an intuitive charging experience that results in a simple, connected, and safer charging experience. Spektrum Smart Charging virtually eliminates the hassle from charging your LiPo batteries. This is made possible by an integrated microchip on each Smart battery that communicates with your Smart charger to automatically determine the best charging settings. Plug it in, and just press start. While all hobbyists will enjoy this simple experience, advanced hobbyists can take advantage of unique data such as cycle count, unhealthy activity like overcharge and discharge, battery temperature, C rating and much more, all saved within each battery. Additionally, automatic discharge to storage ensures a better, and healthier, lifespan for your batteries.

Spektrum RC S2100 AC Smart Charger (6S/12A/100W x2)
Really revolutionary product, but you're paying a premium. Costs about 50% more than similarly-capable chargers that don't have Smarts, and you must use batteries with IC3 connectors to get the Smart charging. You can also charge EC3 batteries, but it won't be smart. The lack of any battery adapters is also pretty disappointing - they should at a minimum include an IC5 connector, given that it's a Spektrum Smart product.

A few other observations:
(1) The Smart setting for my Spektrum 5000MAh 2S LiPo IC3 battery used a fairly high charge rate, something like 2C. I would never manually charge a LiPo at that level (I stick to 1C), but my guess is that the Smarts allow this type of charge rate to be used without degrading the cells.
(2) When plugging in an IC3 LiPo, I was shocked that the charger wasn't smart enough to avoid warning me about the lack of a balance plug attached. Of course this is one of the huge advantages of using IC3 LiPos, and yet someone in product development let this one slip - pretty silly. Spektrum will hopefully issue a firmware update (if that's even possible).
(3) I charged an EC3 NiMH battery using this charger, and it worked fine. Seemed to set an appropriate charge rate to avoid overheating.
(4) The packaging of this charger is quite slick, but the manual is pretty unacceptable in terms of level of detail. If I didn't already know how to charge non-Smart batteries, I'd feel very uncomfortable using this charger with them.

Overall, I think this is a GREAT charger for anyone new to the hobby who is buying a new Horizon model and is going to buy a new battery as well. It's a tougher sell if you have a stockpile of other batteries or any non-Horizon kits, as EC3/IC3 plugs are only in Horizon kits.

I'm returning to the hobby after decades away--pre-lipo! I went from 6cells in the 90s to nitro, so jumping in was very intimidating. This smart charger made it as fool-proof as possible.

great charger. does one 4s battery in about 25 min. 2 4s batteries in 45 min.no programing just plug in and hit go.even better if you have the smart batteries.you can program them to discharge whenever you want them to.

I have only used it a couple of times, I charge 6s packs it takes about a hour charging two at at one time takes about a hour. It is very easy to use and very compact. My only issue is that you got to buy two charge leads it should come with at that price, a extra 20 you shouldn’t have pay. Other that that so far awesome

I bought into the Spektrum smart batteries. If you have, too, you NEED this charger (or the Spektrum S1100)!
- If you want to set the auto discharge and custom charge amperage rates, this charger will do it (The Spektrum S150 will not)
- You want to actually actively discharge your battery for safe storage (did it rain, did plans change?), this charger will do it
- If you want to charge a Spektrum 6S Battery quickly (it's HUGE), this charger will do this (Amazing the difference between the S150.)

I was very happy with the Spektrum S150 (1 x 50W), a good entry-level charger that will do the job. But this charger lets you explore the value of the smart charging.

This is an excellent charging system. A lot of thought, design and engineering has been included in this product. It is very simple to use and makes it easy for the novice RC user to charge LIPO and other batteries without worrying about settings, charge levels, etc. Great product, I personally believe this is the vision for the future of RC battery technology.

Asome charger! Has an very easy interface to work with. I also love how quickly this charger discharges for storing your lipo batteries. I should have gotten this a long time ago!

1 month in and it has to be warranted by horizon so stuck with nothing for 14 days or more.

Otherwise I will buy a second one because the simplicity and my frustration reduction of not having to plan out charging is worth it. Easiest charger hands down.

I cannot believe how fast charger charges lipos ! I've been using another charger, and it takes around 4 hours to charge my batteries. The Spektrum did the same job in about an hour and a half. And very easy to use as well. Thanks Spektrum and Amain for an amazing product.
