Spare part for RC helicopter model Blade 230 S Smart: Spektrum Smart G2 LiPol 11.1V 3S 850mAh 30C with IC2 connector. The battery is designed for Spektrum Smart G2 chargers. An IC3/IC2 adapter is required for charging. Recommended for RC helicopter model Blade 230 S Smart
Spektrum Smart version G2 introduces a new generation of LiPo batteries for aircraft and car models. The basic concept is a battery without a classic balancer connector, with only one IC series connector, while the voltage comparison of individual cells is handled by the SMART battery and charger electronics and a single-core data cable, which is part of the IC connector. The cooperating electronics of the battery and charger can provide the user with information that is important for assessing the quality of the battery, i.e. the condition of individual cells and storing the history of a specific battery in the charger. The use of faster automatic discharge up to 1.5 A for safe storage voltage will save you time.
Users benefit from a number of benefits when using Spektrum™ Smart G2 LiPo batteries. With Smart technology and new “Generation 2” features, these LiPo battery packs are even easier and safer to use with your Smart charger.
Smart G2 batteries are factory programmed to automatically adjust to a safe storage voltage of 3.9V per cell after 72 hours of inactivity. This will ensure your battery lasts longer, performing better throughout the life of the battery. You can override the automatic Storage setting with a Smart charger. G2 batteries also offer a faster Storage discharge rate, which is three times faster than the previous G1 Smart battery.
The Smart G2 Soft Case LiPo packs also feature internal metal side plates. These plates improve heat dissipation and provide greater protection for the cells from punctures during rough landings or in the event of an impact.
As with other Smart batteries, you don’t need to set your own charging preferences for the Spektrum™ Smart G2 unless you want to change the parameters. When a Smart G2 LiPo battery is connected to a Spektrum™ Smart charger, its unique charging parameters and health information are loaded into the charger from an integrated memory microchip. You can view and set preferences, such as current, through the charger, so all you need to do to charge the battery is connect it to your SMART charger. SMART technology does the rest.
Spektrum™ Smart G2 LiPo batteries store a wide range of essential information, including:
- Battery brands
- Battery type
- Battery capacities
- Battery rating C
- Voltage of individual cells
- Battery temperatures
- Charge/discharge cycles
Spektrum™ Smart G2 LiPo Batteries store an error log, including the number of times they overheat, over-discharge, and over-charge. This data can help determine suitability for a given application. The innovative Spektrum™ Smart G2 LiPo batteries are so easy to use that they almost take care of themselves. With Smart G2 technology, it's easy to achieve peak performance, reliability, and battery life!
Note: G2 batteries require the use of a Spektrum™ SMART G2 charger or an older SMART charger with the G2 update.
Spektrum™ Smart G2 Battery Features
- Charging and balancing via a single IC3® or IC5® connector and data wire
- Integrated microchip stores the unique parameters of each battery.
- Thicker internal aluminum side plates protect cells and improve heat dissipation
- Discharge up to 1.5 A for safe storage voltage
- Includes IC2 connector, IC3/IC2 adapter required for connection to Smart chargers
- Spektrum™ G2 Smart Charger (or Smart Charger with G2 update) required
(G2 batteries cannot be charged with conventional chargers).
Connection and charging only via IC connector
When connected to a Spektrum™ Smart Charger, the Smart G2's unique battery parameters, health, and cell information are automatically uploaded from its memory microchip via the IC2 connector data wire. To charge the battery, simply connect it to the Smart Charger. Safe charging begins automatically, and no separate balance cable is required.
Data available
An integrated microchip allows each Smart G2 battery to store vital information such as battery type, cell condition and number, capacity, number of charge cycles, number of discharge cycles, C-rating, battery temperature and internal resistance. Additionally, each battery stores a log of abnormal events such as overcharge, overdischarge and overheating.
Automatic Smart Storage setup
Spektrum™ Smart G2 batteries virtually take care of themselves, being factory programmed to automatically adjust the cell voltage to a safe storage voltage of 3.9V after 72 hours of inactivity. The result is longer battery life, better performance throughout the battery's life. The user can change the settings via the charger and turn off automatic storage.
Simply and quickly
Preset charging, discharging, and storage parameters are automatically transferred from the Spektrum™ Smart G2 battery to your Smart charger, making charging as easy as plugging in the battery. The charging speed of each pack can also be customized by the user, allowing you to take full advantage of the faster charging capabilities of the packs. The battery’s integrated microchip remembers the last charge speed setting, so the next time you plug in, those settings are automatically loaded.
