Do you think the spektrum smart charger and battery are worth it? I just bought a isdt d2 charger and now im wondering if i should have bought the spektrum insted. Does anyone have any feedback on this charger/battery combo? Everytime im done running i ballence my batteries and put them at a safe storage voltage anyway. What are the other perks.

If you have both smart charger and smart battery do you still need to use the balance lead?

Can you change the connector on the battery without hooking up data cable?

Very cool technology. I wanted to ask about the dual output smart charger. I wanted to get the Larger F-16 that uses the 6 Cell batteries. Will this charger handle that high capacity and charge at one hour? Can it charge two at a time?

Thanks for the info. Glad to know it's not all or nothing. Great video👍

Also, why are you still using 3.7v battery systems? 3.8v has a higher and longer watt output which is great for high and long performance.

We want 2S 3300 Smart Lipo batteries. They are not available yet. I need them for 2x 2S lipo batteries for use with my power distribution board in my 50cc plane. No regulator would be required for my servos. Make it happen. I am surprised nobody thought of these as giant scale receiver batteries.

Discharging batteries create heat which is bad for the batteries to have this attached to.😑
This seems great for a novice, but someone who can remember to discharge lipos and set the settings for my batteries, all I care about is performance of the battery. I want the charger to create a graph model of the peak volt/amp this can throw for how long. I want to be able to quickly and safety measure the maximum capacity of the battery in mAh and to alert me when to recycle the lipo and replace it. I don’t want something dumb down. I want to have information of my batteries and to be extremely accurate.
I also want a charger to quickly balances my battery in case one cell is draining too fast. I have a lipo balancer, but it takes too long and can drain the entire battery. When it balances, I want it to shut off automatically.

Looks like a rebranded ISDT charger with a new proprietary plug... think I'll stick with the original ISDT and the industry standard XT60 plug 90% of the aftermarket batteries come with... cheers 🍻 at least it's an ISDT at in ❤... 💰💸
