Spektrum ™ 5000mAh 3S 11.1V Smart G2 Lipo 50C: IC5

Drivers enjoy even more Smart advantages when using Spektrum ™ Smart G2 50C LiPo batteries to power their vehicles. "Generation 2" features make these LiPo packs — featuring a 50C continuous discharge rating for high performance and longevity — even simpler and safer to use with your Smart charger.

For example, Spektrum ™ Smart G2 technology makes it much easier to balance charge your LiPo batteries. Balancing information travels through the unique data wire of each Smart G2 battery's innovative IC3 ® connector. As a result, only a single connection is needed — no separate balance lead is required.

Smart G2 batteries come from the factory programmed to discharge automatically to a safe storage voltage of 3.90V after 72 hours of inactivity. The benefits include longer battery life, better performance over the pack's life, and the peace of mind from knowing your Smart battery is maintenance-free. You can change the battery's Auto Storage settings based on your preferences. G2 batteries also offer a storage discharge rate that's three times faster than the previous G1 Smart batteries.

As with other Smart batteries, you'll never have to set your charging preferences for a Spektrum ™ Smart G2 battery until you want to. When a Smart G2 LiPo battery is connected to a Spektrum ™ Smart charger, its unique charging parameters and health information upload to the charger from the battery's integrated memory microchip. Through the charger you can view and set preferences such as charge rates, so all that's required to charge the pack is connecting it to your Smart charger. Smart technology takes care of the rest. Simpler and safer to use.
