The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Missing Link for Your Pit Station! When you are expanding your RC garage, battery connector compatibility can sometimes become a headache. If you picked up an IC2 battery for your 1/12 scale Losi NASCAR and want to charge it using a premium IC3 charger (like the Spektrum S155 we recommend), this adapter set is the exact missing link you need. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider these essential pit box items to ensure you can always power up your smaller-scale packs without needing to buy a completely separate charging setup.
Seamless Smart Compatibility The true beauty of Spektrum's Smart ecosystem is that even through an adapter, the critical data connection remains entirely intact. This means your IC2 Smart battery can still "talk" to your IC3 Smart charger, passing along vital telemetry, cycle counts, and automatic charging parameters. You get the compact convenience of a smaller battery while retaining the full safety and intelligence of your larger charging station.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Plug-and-Play Power: Completely eliminates the need for any soldering or cutting of wires; simply click the connectors together.
Smart Data Transfer: Fully retains the center data wire connection so all Smart G2 charging features function perfectly.
Secure Connection: The IC series connectors provide a solid, low-resistance fit that will not accidentally pull apart during a charge cycle.
2-Pack Convenience: Includes two individual adapters so you can keep one permanently at the workbench and toss the other in your track bag.
Application: Specifically adapts an IC3 device (like a charger) to accept an IC2 battery plug.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because these connectors fit so securely, always grip the textured plastic housing of the plugs when pulling them apart, rather than tugging on the wires themselves. If you are using this adapter primarily to charge your 1400mAh NASCAR batteries on your bench charger, we recommend leaving the adapter plugged into the charger rather than the battery when you head out for our ad hoc parking lot races—it’s one less small item to lose in the grass!
