About the PowerStage Surface Bundle

Intuitive Charging

The Spektrum S250 AC 2x50W Smart Charger offers dual-channel charging with up to 50W per channel or 80W on one for faster energy delivery. Built with Auto Charge technology, the charger identifies Smart battery settings upon connection and begins charging instantly with no guesswork or manual setup required. Its user-friendly interface features clear menus and countdown timers, while IC5® and IC5® ports allow adapter-free convenience with broad compatibility.

Smart G2 Batteries

Each included 4S 5000mAh 50C Smart G2 LiPo battery delivers consistent power output and is designed with safety and durability in mind. The G2 batteries automatically discharge to safe storage voltage after 72 hours of inactivity and come equipped with internal metal side plates for enhanced protection. With a high continuous discharge rate and improved thermal performance, these batteries are built to meet the demands of serious RC enthusiasts.

Advanced Smart Features

Spektrum Smart Technology adds a layer of intelligence that transforms battery management. The Smart G2 batteries and S250 charger communicate seamlessly to share charging preferences and real-time performance data.

*Tech Note: When using high energy Li-Polymer Batteries, please do not over-discharge or over-charge batteries as this will result in overheated batteries. Discharging capacity can't exceed 80% of the max capacity of the pack after full charging to ensure a good cycle performance. It is recommended to fully charge a brand new battery before using and only discharge the battery 50% for the first 5 cycles. Always monitor race time and/or set a low voltage warning on ESC (End voltage cannot be lower than 3.2v per cell). Do not use a battery that has too low a voltage. Do not expose batteries to sunshine or store/charge batteries at temperatures above 35°C or in a closed car. The high-temperature environment could cause damage to the pack or make it burst. If the battery becomes hot while fast charging, high current discharging, or racing, do not charge it until it has cooled completely. Wait about 20 mins, then inspect prior to recharging.
