    My ch2 port tells error 203 (reverse polarity) - no matter if I use g2 battery or any other with balance lead. How can I solve this? And second question is about ch1,ch2 calibrate function in system settings...what is it for and how to start it?

    I’ve gotten a slew of G2 batteries that aren’t storage charging to completion. They eventually time out at 55-58% charged. Would it be better to fully charge them then let the battery use it programmed interval to drop to storage charge?

I believe it has low voltage EVEN THOUGH ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A SMART BATTERY. It doesn’t register on the smart battery checker. The battery checker won’t turn on at all. The charger thinks it’s a 2s battery instead of a 3s & don’t show any other readings. It won’t charge & immediately shows a message saying “abnormal battery connection “ PLEASE HELP

    I have the S2200 charger and a pair of 3S 5000 mAh smart batteries. When these batteries are plugged in, the charger automatically sets the parameters for charging. The display shows charge voltage 4.20V and charge current 12.5A. Should I leave the charge value alone or change it to 5A? Comment, suggestion, ridicule?

  • @SpektrumRCvideos

    @SpektrumRCvideos

    12.5A is perfectly fine with those Smart batteries. G1 smart batteries can handle 3C charge rate and G2 batteries = 5C. Hope that helps!

    It's safe for Lipos when charge 8000mAh in dual with lower amps because charger cant do it 8A on 2ch. Only charcge 6A on dual. Next i storage smart and non smart battery on s2100 and goes to 3,7-3,79 for non smart and 3,8-3,89 for smart and stops without beeps 0A load and time increase 3/5hrs and increaseed. When im charge only (drive/charge cycle) baterry work fine. after that i put bat to my kavan c14+ and non smart storage mode end corectly at 3,80 wtf, but i cant do that with smart batt:)

    @@SpektrumRCvideos in TASK menu , one of 3 options is "Discharge" . In "Discharge" screen there is no item / option for setting a voltage low limit, but there is an option to setting Discharge Amp rate. Why is Discharge even a Task option when Storage is already there? I think Storage will either Discharge a fully charged battery to 3.8v (which I set) or charge a battery that I used to a voltage lower than a healthy 3.8 v.
