When linked to a Spektrum™ Smart charger, a Smart G2 battery's distinct settings, condition status, and balance data seamlessly transfer from its internal memory microchip via the data wire in the IC3® connector. To initiate charging and balancing for the battery pack, you merely connect it to your Smart charger. The safe charging process commences automatically, eliminating the necessity for a separate balance lead.

An integrated microchip allows each Smart G2 battery to save vital information such as battery brand, chemistry, cell count, capacity, number of charging cycles, number of discharges, C rating, battery temperature, and internal resistance. Additionally, each battery will save a log of unhealthy events such as over-charge, over-discharge, and over-temperature. This allows you to make the most informed decision about each battery when you are getting your gear ready to go out and have fun.

Spektrum™ Smart G2 batteries are virtually self-managing. These G2 batteries are factory-configured to autonomously discharge to a secure storage voltage of 3.90V after 72 hours of idleness. The benefits include extended battery longevity, improved performance throughout the battery's lifespan, and the assurance of a maintenance-free Smart battery. Users have the flexibility to customize the Auto Storage settings according to their preferences.

The innovative Smart connection is made possible by a microchip installed in every battery, which feeds the battery's unique information through a data cable to its IC connector. Spektrum™ Smart IC3® connectors have been designed from the ground up to provide a more solid connection, higher heat resistance, and effortless installation. IC connectors are also backwards compatible with EC connectors so you can use Smart batteries with older systems. Smart G2 batteries can be charged only with Smart chargers.
