S250 AC 2x50W Smart Charger

S250 AC 2x50W Smart Charger Overview

The Spektrum™ Smart S250 2x50W Charger provides easy charging for all modelers, especially using Smart batteries — with Auto Charge simplicity, one-connection balancing, IC3® or IC5® output ports for adapter-free convenience, and more. The Smart technology ecosystem give users the most advanced and easiest-to-use battery and charging technology.

With up to 50W power per channel or 80W on one channel for faster charging, plus the ability to charge batteries on either the IC3® or IC5® integrated output ports, the Spektrum™ Smart S250 2x50W Charger delivers a versatile and truly hassle-free charging experience. The S250 charger works with virtually any Smart battery and is backwards compatible with EC3™ and EC5™ connectors. Use it together with Smart G1 or G2 batteries and you'll be amazed by its incredible functionality and performance.

The S250 Smart AC Charger makes battery charging the easiest it has ever been. Its Auto Charge feature recognizes your Smart battery's parameters, such as chemistry type and charge rate, and begins safe, correct charging automatically when the charge lead is connected. A clock on the charger's screen counts down the time until your Smart battery is fully charged and ready to use.

Balancing Smart G2 batteries is just as simple. The S250 charger will balance your Smart G2 LiPo packs through the same, single IC connection used for charging. No separate, confusing balance leads are required.

The S250 Smart AC Charger's user interface features fresh, intuitive menus, icons, and navigation tools. Its clear, easily understandable indicators of Smart battery history and performance provide the information you need to make the best decisions about your batteries when putting gear together for a day at the field or track.

The USB-C port is exclusively for firmware updating so you always have the latest version. The S250 Smart AC Charger also includes a cooling fan, detachable power cord, and sleek case that fits perfectly on your workbench and in your pit or field bag.
