Spektrum RC 6S Smart 50C LiPo Battery Pack w/IC5 Connector (22.2V/5000mAh)
About this part
Spektrum Smart technology LiPo Batteries practically take care of themselves. When combined with a Spektrum™ Smart Battery Charger, the unique parameters, history of the battery and more are all available the instant it’s connected. Charging a Smart Battery is easy as it gets, plus Smart LiPo battery packs are programmable to meet your exact charging needs. But the crowning feature of a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery is that it can be programmed to safely self-discharge to storage condition!
Spektrum Smart technology puts you in complete control, makes you more aware and more confident about the capability of your equipment—all the while making your hobby easier. The combined result will make you wish everything about your hobby was “smarter.”
You’ll never have to set charge preferences for a Spektrum Smart battery until you want to. When a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery is connected to a Spektrum Smart charger, unique parameters and health of that Smart LiPo battery upload from the Smart memory microchip integrated into the battery. Through the charger, you can view and set preferences, such as charge rates, so that all you have to do to charge the pack every time is press the charger “Start” button. Smart technology takes care of the rest.
Every Smart LiPo battery is factory assembled with the next-generation IC3 or IC5 output connector that’s conveniently compatible with older devices equipped with robust EC3 and EC5 connectors. You can use Smart Batteries with older systems, but only when connected to a Spektrum Smart device will all the benefits of Smart technology become obvious.
Spektrum Smart LiPo Batteries Store Unique Data, such as:
- Battery Brand
- Battery Type
- Battery Capacity
- Battery C Rating
- Individual Cell Voltage
- Battery Temperature
- Charge/Discharge Cycles
Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries also maintain an error log including the number of over-heat, over-discharge and over-charge incidents which can be helpful data in assuring that the battery you’ve chosen is right for the application. A Smart Battery uploads its charge parameters to a Spektrum Smart Charger automatically making charging as simple as pressing the “Start” button. The charge rate of every Smart Battery is customizable, allowing you to take full advantage of packs with faster charge ratings.

Well I have quite a few different size Spektrum Smart Batteries. Have used the 100c a few times and after 3-4 uses and charges, 1-of the 100c will not charge anymore. Using the Smart Spektrum charger it shows 1-Cell bad? But check it on a smart spectrum tester it shows 10v in the one cell. No noticeable damage on the battery, except one small slit, I decided to cut it open and see if a wire came un-soldered. Thought I could fix it! But no it is potted Very well and has a board on top. I would like to send it back for some kind of credit or replacement. Let me know Thanks Flip Cooper flipc@rmow.com
I like these Smart batteries. It's nice to track cycles and the auto discharge to storage voltage is a great feature.
Nice batteries. Priced a little high but overall they deliver and the features help justify the price difference. I ran this in my Typhon 6S and Felony - nice power delivery no surprises.
Great battery. This powers my typhon 6s to ridiculous speeds.
I always support my local hobby shop when possible. When I order online Amainhobbies is my go to shop for everything. Always standing behind their service and products.
Reviewers rate this 6S Smart 50C 5000mAh LiPo pack highly overall, with four of five reviews at 5/5. Positives mentioned include cycle tracking, automatic discharge to storage voltage, and strong power delivery in 6S vehicles such as the Typhon and Felony. One reviewer found the pack priced high but felt the smart features justify the cost. A single 2/5 review, from a verified owner who had used a different Smart battery size (100C), reported that one cell failed after a few cycles, the charger flagged a bad cell, and the pack was potted so could not be repaired. That review concerns a different Smart pack than the 50C variant listed, so it may not reflect this model. One review was mainly about the seller's service and did not comment on the battery.
