I got this charger a few days ago great charger! I have the g2 batteries.. this battery automatically discharges? I’m still new to the hobby.. so after I’m done with my car for the weekend and leave the battery in storage for a week I hear the battery should be left at 50% ? Still learning
I’ve gotten a slew of G2 batteries that aren’t storage charging to completion. They eventually time out at 55-58% charged. Would it be better to fully charge them then let the battery use it programmed interval to drop to storage charge?
My charger does not work on standard batteries of which I own a large amount. very disappointed but it could be my fault. Any ideas before i have to return it?
My ch2 port tells error 203 (reverse polarity) - no matter if I use g2 battery or any other with balance lead. How can I solve this? And second question is about ch1,ch2 calibrate function in system settings...what is it for and how to start it?
I have the S2200 charger and a pair of 3S 5000 mAh smart batteries. When these batteries are plugged in, the charger automatically sets the parameters for charging. The display shows charge voltage 4.20V and charge current 12.5A. Should I leave the charge value alone or change it to 5A? Comment, suggestion, ridicule?
✌🏻😎🏴Any ideas on how to save a BRAND NEW G1 SPEKTRUM SMART BATTERY ? It’s a brand new battery & it’s only been used a few times. I believe it has low voltage EVEN THOUGH ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A SMART BATTERY. It doesn’t register on the smart battery checker. The battery checker won’t turn on at all. The charger thinks it’s a 2s battery instead of a 3s & don’t show any other readings. It won’t charge & immediately shows a message saying “abnormal battery connection “ PLEASE HELP
I've noticed that I can check individual cell voltage on G1 batteries by just installing my balance lead into the balance port. How can I check this with G2 batteries? Thank you
I shouldn't have to buy something else to check individual cell voltages when I purchased a SMART charger with a price point of almost 300 bucks. Complete B.S. to tell someone to spend more money
It's safe for Lipos when charge 8000mAh in dual with lower amps because charger cant do it 8A on 2ch. Only charcge 6A on dual. Next i storage smart and non smart battery on s2100 and goes to 3,7-3,79 for non smart and 3,8-3,89 for smart and stops without beeps 0A load and time increase 3/5hrs and increaseed. When im charge only (drive/charge cycle) baterry work fine. after that i put bat to my kavan c14+ and non smart storage mode end corectly at 3,80 wtf, but i cant do that with smart batt:)
So if you were using the Smart Charger on your Smart G1 batteries - how is it possible that they were ‘overcharged’ ? Is the Smart charger not designed to prevent that from happening ?
My S1200 G2 does not auto charge my G2 Smart 5000mAh 50C Both are new. Is my battery damaged? Both are new and never used. Or do i need to update my Charger?
Make sure you are plugging the battery connector all the way in, if you do not the middle pin (smart signal pin) will not make contact and the charger will not recognize the battery. Hope that helps!
Please explain "Discharge" definition and function. This is not "Storage". Try it first. I think it almost ruined my battery. It attempted to completely Discharge my battery but I stopped it. Thanks.
@@SpektrumRCvideos in TASK menu , one of 3 options is "Discharge" . In "Discharge" screen there is no item / option for setting a voltage low limit, but there is an option to setting Discharge Amp rate. Why is Discharge even a Task option when Storage is already there? I think Storage will either Discharge a fully charged battery to 3.8v (which I set) or charge a battery that I used to a voltage lower than a healthy 3.8 v.
Love my S2200 charger! i like the built in power switch and the built in ic3 AND ic5 connectors, no more adapters!
& usb output for charging the NX8 & NX10! 👍😁
Best review I've seen for this charger. Thank you!
Best charger out there! 👍👍
It sure is!
This is absolutely brilliant so easy to use as I’m one of those not too bright with tec I love it 🙂
Thank you for your great info👍
How long can i have my spectrum smart battery in storage? Before needing to charge it again? Then storage mode again.

How can I update the S1100 G2? The ap does not recognize the charger, USB port is not linking to my computer.
From a full charged battery why its not discharging and its reading ready when i press play?
Ty
what charge rate to use when charging a 4s battery, what is range of 4s smart 3200 range voltage
Can I charge my hitec radio batteries?
Any promotion on this charger? I'm new to the RC hobby !
When can we buy it in Denmark again.
skyrocketing RC costs I believe are making people go for other less expensive brands.

Anyone know how to set this charger up to charge NIMH? Voltage is displayed as ∆mV. Not sure what to select for a 7.2v 6 cell NiMH battery.
No available for DX18 tx no bal lead in stock battery why?
Can it charge nihmn
☠BLACK BARON☠ 3:55 Is this iMportant for a very smooth and low RPM motor start by reducing the charge voltage from 4,2V to let's say 4,18V?
What does this mean when I plug in my G2 6s 5000 50c battery "BATTERY PRESENT (211) CH FAIL"
Now if you only had the S2200 in stock. It’s been on back order forever.
Whats the 'recommended' charge amps for the g2 3s & 4s 2200 smart packs for planes?
up to 5C is perfectly fine for these packs. 11 amps or lower is recommended.
which languages are available?

12.5A is perfectly fine with those Smart batteries. G1 smart batteries can handle 3C charge rate and G2 batteries = 5C. Hope that helps!

Hello! Sounds like the battery has been over discharged and is down to near zero volts.
@@SpektrumRCvideos so he need to use say a bench power supply to trickle charge a enough juice into it so its recognised then correct?
smart G2 battery not charging no longer being recognized by spektrum smart S1200 G2 Charger. help!
Hi there! Do you have a battery checker? is there any voltage in the pack?
Is it possible to charge your smart batteries on a regular traditional balance charger?
Smart G1 batteries yes, G2 batteries we recommend using a Spektrum Smart charger

It means they are aware of the problem. The balance lead ports are defective and read low.
