Awesome! If you’re not to worried about pricing. and if you run a lot of spectrum battles I’d say it’s worth it. it’s just so simple plug and go.
Love it I think is one of the best charger I ever had
I’ve been the RC hobby since 1984 and seen about everything along the way. I’ve had several chargers over the years. This S2100 has got to be the easiest charger I’ve ever used. The menu selections are easy to navigate and to the point. Charging batteries become a whole lot easier. Speaking of batteries. The Smart Gen2 batteries are awesome. So easy to maintain. Spektrum needs to broaden their line of batteries. Higher capacity and C ratings would be fantastic.
All three reviewers are verified owners who rate this bundle 5 out of 5. They describe the charger as simple to use, with easy menu navigation and a plug-and-go setup. Reviewers praise the included Smart G2 4S 100C LiPo batteries as easy to maintain. One reviewer calls it among the best chargers they have owned and notes it suits frequent Spektrum battles, though they say it is pricey. One reviewer asks Spektrum to offer higher capacity and C-rated batteries. No reviewer reports a defect or durability problem. The reviews are few and brief, so the picture is limited.
