Product Information

Full details

The Spektrum Micro 6 Port DC/USB 1S LiPo Charger is designed for hobbyists needing to charge multiple small LiPo batteries efficiently and portably. Its key benefit is the simultaneous charging of up to six batteries from various power sources. A potential caveat is the limited charging current per port, which may not suit users needing rapid charging for higher-capacity batteries.

FAQs

Can this charger handle batteries other than 1S LiPo?

No, this charger is specifically designed for 1S (3.7V) LiPo batteries only. Attempting to charge other battery types may cause damage or fire.

What is the maximum capacity battery this charger can handle?

The charger's current output is limited to 350mA or 500mA. While it can charge batteries larger than its output current, it will take significantly longer. For example, a 1000mAh battery on a 500mA port would take approximately 2 hours.

How do I know if my battery is charging?

The digital LED display will show the port number and the current voltage of the connected battery. As the battery charges, the voltage will increase, and the display will update accordingly.

Can I use any USB port to power the charger?

It is recommended to use a USB port that can supply at least 1A (1000mA) of power for optimal performance, especially when charging multiple batteries. Some lower-power USB ports may not provide enough current.

What do the different LEDs mean?

Each LED corresponds to a specific charging port and displays the voltage of the battery connected to that port. The specific behavior or color coding, if any, for charging status (e.g., charging, full) is typically indicated by the steady or flashing nature of the LED, or a secondary indicator if present.

Does this charger balance the cells?

This charger is designed for single-cell (1S) LiPo batteries, which do not have multiple cells to balance. Therefore, it does not feature cell balancing.

Troubleshooting

Charger does not power on

Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into the charger and the power outlet. If using USB, confirm the USB port is active and providing power. Try a different outlet or USB port.

LED display is not showing battery information

Check that the battery is correctly connected to the port and that the battery has not been fully discharged (below the charger's minimum voltage threshold). Verify the battery itself is functional.

Battery not charging

Confirm the battery connector is clean and securely seated in the port. Check for reverse polarity or short circuits indicated by the charger's protection features. Test the battery with another charger if possible.

Slow charging

The charger has limited current output (350mA/500mA). Charging times will be longer for batteries with higher capacity. Ensure you are using the 500mA ports for faster charging when available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simultaneously charges up to six 1S LiPo batteries.
  • Offers flexibility with both AC wall adapter and USB power input.
  • Compact and lightweight design for excellent portability.
  • Built-in safety features provide peace of mind.
  • Clear digital display for easy monitoring.

Cons

  • Limited charging current (350mA/500mA) may lead to slower charging times for larger capacity batteries.
  • Primarily designed for 1S LiPo batteries.
  • May require separate adapters if using a high-wattage USB power source not included.
  • No advanced features like cell balancing for multi-cell packs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the charger to a power source: either plug the included AC adapter into a wall outlet or connect a USB cable to a compatible USB port (e.g., computer, USB power bank, or wall adapter).
  2. Connect your 1S LiPo batteries to the appropriate ports on the charger. Ensure correct polarity is observed.
  3. The digital LED display will illuminate, showing the port number and the voltage of the connected battery.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 1S (3.7V) LiPo batteries with common connectors like JST-PH, mCPX, and others (ensure your battery connector matches a port or use an appropriate adapter if needed).
  • Requires a USB power source capable of providing sufficient amperage if using the USB input.

Care:

  • Keep the charger in a clean, dry environment. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Periodically inspect the charging ports and cables for damage.
  • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
