Smart S250 AC Charger, 2x50W

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Double Your Track Time, Halve Your Wait! When you are spending an afternoon running heats at our ad hoc parking lot races, the last thing you want to do is sit around waiting for a single battery to charge. The Spektrum Smart S250 is the ultimate pit station upgrade for drivers who want to stay on the pavement. With two independent 50-watt charging channels, you can juice up two packs simultaneously. The Hobby Hideaway Team highly recommends this unit because it combines dual-port efficiency with the foolproof safety of Spektrum's Smart technology, ensuring you spend less time navigating menus and more time holding a transmitter.

Next-Generation Charging Made Simple If you are using Spektrum Smart batteries, charging literally could not be easier. The S250 communicates directly with a microchip embedded in the battery. The moment you plug it in, the charger instantly recognizes the chemistry, capacity, and optimal charge rate, and begins charging automatically. There are no complex parameters to set or balance leads to fiddle with—just plug it in, watch the bright color display, and get ready for your next race.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Dual Charging Power: Features two independent ports, each delivering up to 50W of charging power, allowing you to charge two completely different batteries at the same time.

• Smart G2 Technology: Automatically initiates the safest, most optimal charging parameters when a Spektrum Smart battery is connected.

• Integrated Power Supply: AC powered with a standard wall plug, making it the perfect, clutter-free addition to your workbench or trackside pit setup.

• Vibrant Interface: Features a full-color LCD screen that clearly displays charging status, voltage, and battery health at a glance.

• Versatile Connections: Features native IC3 and IC5 charging ports built directly into the faceplate (backward compatible with EC3 and EC5 connectors).

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this charger features native IC3 ports, it is an absolute powerhouse for your 1/10 scale vehicles. However, if you are picking this up to charge the smaller 1400mAh batteries used in the 1/12 Losi NASCAR or Arrma Grom platforms, remember that you will need an IC3 Device to IC2 Battery Adapter. We highly recommend keeping a set of those adapters permanently plugged into the S250 on your bench so you can seamlessly transition between charging your large bashers and your small-scale parking lot racers!
