Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between IC2 and JST-RCY connectors? — IC2 and JST-RCY are two different connector standards used in RC equipment. Some batteries come equipped with JST-RCY connectors while some devices like Spektrum products feature IC2 connectors. This adapter allows you to use a battery with a JST-RCY connector on a device with an IC2 connector, solving compatibility issues without requiring you to purchase new batteries or equipment.
- Is this adapter compatible with EC2 connectors? — No. Spektrum IC2 connectors and charge leads are not compatible with EC2 connectors. This adapter specifically converts JST-RCY connectors to IC2 only, so it will not work with EC2 systems.
- Why would I need this adapter? — If you have a battery with a JST-RCY connector but your RC device (such as a Spektrum transmitter, receiver system, or other equipment) features an IC2 connector, this adapter allows you to use them together without modifications or replacement parts.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes. This is a simple plug-and-play adapter that requires no technical knowledge to use. Simply connect your JST-RCY battery to one end and plug the IC2 connector into your device. It's an ideal solution for beginners who inherit or purchase used RC equipment with mixed connector types.
- Is this an official Spektrum product? — Yes, this is a genuine Spektrum adapter manufactured to official specifications, ensuring quality, safety and reliability for use with Spektrum RC equipment and compatible devices.
