Finding your first LiPo charger can be a daunting task. Yes...I know that these chargers charge more than LiPo batteries, but let's be honest...most people are using them to charge LiPo batteries. Now that I met my quota for using the word LiPo in the first two sentences, let's talk about the new Spektrum S155 G2 Smart Charger. It has Smart in the name, but it can also charge "not so smart" batteries from other brands as well. It's actually a very capable charger that can charge 1s-4s LiPo/LiFe/Li-Ion/LiHV batteries and 1-12S NiMH/NiCd packs at up to 5.0 Amps using it's 55 Watts of charging prowess. Rarrrgh!



For those of you that do use Spektrum Smart batteries, you get the ease of auto-start charging with your Smart battery, but also full control over your battery settings through the detailed menu system. But don't be fooled by it's capabilities, it looks good too. Check out that color display that guides you through it's intuitive menu system normally reserved for chargers 2x its price.


At $60, this charger doesn't break the bank, but it will help you have the power you need to break your RC cars. So charge up those batteries and send it to the moon my friends.
