The future of LiPo charging technology has begun.

Spektrum smart technology allows you to exercise your hobby more comfortably and safely. You get full control over your charging technology and have a safer and more conscious overview of your equipment - this makes your hobby easier every day. Your loading technique becomes more "intelligent".

For all model builders looking for a better way to charge batteries, Spektrum Smart Charger and Smart LiPos provide an intuitive charging experience that leads to a simple, connected and safer charging experience. The Spektrum Smart Charging Technology eliminates the hassle of adjusting the charger when charging your LiPo batteries. This is made possible by an integrated microchip on each Smart-LiPo that communicates with your Smart charger to automatically determine the best charging settings. Plug it in and simply press Start. While all modelers can enjoy this simplification, advanced modelers can use individual data such as the number of cycles, damaging parameters such as overcharge and deep discharge, battery temperature, C-value and much more - all stored in each LiPo. In addition, the automatic bearing voltage ensures a better and longer service life for your LiPos.

Product overview

The Spektrum™ S1200 Smart Charger is the first intelligent charger to feature the Spektrum Smart charging technology. Small and portable, this 200W charger features the new Spektrum IC3 ™ connector, which provides a solid connection and also reads out the individual parameters of the LiPo and forwards them to a bright LCD colour display to show you clearly how many charging cycles your Smart LiPo has already completed and much more.

Intelligent charging technology

When connected to a Spektrum Smart LiPo, all your individual LiPo parameters and the history of your LiPo battery are transferred from the Smart Microchip to your Smart Charger. The charger allows you to set and record preferred settings such as charge current and self-discharge options, so all you have to do is press the "Start" button. The "smart" technology will take care of the rest. Every Smart LiPo charger comes factory equipped with the IC3™ charging connector, which displays stored battery information directly on the LCD screen via a data transfer pin.

Simple

Preset charge, discharge and storage voltage parameters are automatically retrieved from your Spektrum Smart LiPo, making charging as easy as pressing the "Start" button. The charge current of individual batteries can be specifically adjusted so that you can take full advantage of batteries with a higher charge capacity. The integrated microchip on each Smart LiPo remembers the last charge current set. The next time you plug it in, these settings will appear automatically. All you have to do is press "Start". Another great feature that the Smart Microchip allows you to do is balance while charging with just one plug. When you plug in your IC3 or IC5 battery, the individual cell voltage is automatically passed to the smart charger, allowing you to balance your LiPo without using annoying standard balancer plugs.

New IC3 and IC5 connectors

The innovative Smart connection is made possible by a built-in microchip on each battery, which forwards individual information via a data cable through the new iC3 and iC5 connectors. The iC Series connectors are designed from the ground up to provide a solid connection, higher heat resistance and easy installation. Slotted connectors provide a precise connection that's easy to connect and disconnect, while the convenient solder pads make it easy to install in your model.

Spektrum is a brand from the American company Horizon Hobby. "Spektrum" is a RC Radio System revolutionizing the 2,4 GHZ RC industry. With Spektrum, Horizon Hobby was one of the first companies worldwide to offer the 2,4 GHZ technology and telemetry. Today, Spektrum is widely known as one of the best on the market in RC Radio Systems. Many Horizon Hobby models can be instantly connected with Spektrum remotes via BNF (Bind and Fly) such as Blade, E-flite, Hangar 9, hobbyzone, parkzone, or Vaterra products.
