Overview
The SPM Charge Adapter for Spektrum TX Battery NiMh/LiPo is an essential charging accessory designed for RC enthusiasts across the UK who operate Spektrum transmitters. This dedicated charge adapter provides a safe, reliable and convenient way to recharge your Spektrum transmitter battery packs, whether you're flying fixed-wing aircraft, quadcopters, or controlling ground-based RC vehicles. For anyone serious about their RC hobby—from casual weekend pilots to competitive racers—having the correct charging solution is absolutely critical to maintaining peak transmitter performance and ensuring your equipment lasts for years to come.
Spektrum has earned its reputation as the leader in spread spectrum technology, and this charge adapter exemplifies that commitment to quality and compatibility. Whether you operate ready to run RC models, race kits, or custom builds, your transmitter battery needs proper charging infrastructure. This adapter bridges the gap between your power source and your Spektrum battery pack, ensuring optimal charging conditions every single time. If you're building a complete RC setup or adding to your existing collection of RC equipment in the UK, this is a product that deserves a place in your charging station.
The SPM Charge Adapter is engineered with the precision that Spektrum customers have come to expect. It's not simply a cable—it's a carefully designed interface that ensures compatibility with the specific connector systems used on Spektrum rechargeable battery packs. This means you can charge with complete confidence, knowing that your battery pack will connect securely and charge safely without compatibility issues or loose connections that could damage your equipment.
Key Features
- Compatible Connector for Spektrum Rechargeable Battery Packs — This adapter features the exact connector specification required for Spektrum rechargeable battery packs, ensuring perfect fit and reliable electrical contact every time you charge. This eliminates the frustration of searching for the right charging cable and guarantees that your battery pack will connect securely without any wobbling or poor contact that could interrupt the charging process or damage your battery.
- Molded Gold Banana Plugs — The adapter terminates in high-quality molded gold banana plugs on the charging end, which provide superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard connectors. Gold plating ensures that the plugs maintain excellent electrical properties over hundreds of charging cycles, preventing oxidation and maintaining a clean, low-resistance connection to your charger. This engineering choice directly translates to faster, more efficient charging and longer-term reliability.
- Professional Grade Construction — This is not a bargain-bin charging cable; it's a purpose-built accessory engineered by Spektrum to work in harmony with their transmitter battery systems. The moulded design means no loose wires, no exposed connections, and no assembly required—just plug in and charge with complete confidence.
- Ideal for Extended RC Sessions — Keep this adapter at your charging station so your Spektrum transmitter battery is always ready for the next flight or drive session. Whether you're an RC car enthusiast in the UK enjoying brushless RC vehicles, a drone pilot operating quadcopters, or someone exploring the world of ready to run RC models, having a dedicated charge adapter means you'll never be caught with a dead transmitter battery.
Technical Performance
The SPM Charge Adapter represents Spektrum's engineering approach to charging infrastructure. At 4.70 inches (120mm) in length, this adapter provides a practical working length that reaches from your charger to your battery pack without excessive cable bulk. The molded gold banana plugs are the result of extensive research into electrical conductivity and durability—gold has significantly higher conductivity than standard tin or nickel plating, which means lower voltage drop during charging and faster charge times. The moulded construction provides mechanical protection for the connector interface, preventing the kind of damage that can occur with loose, hand-crimped connections. For anyone operating multiple Spektrum transmitters in their RC arsenal—whether they're piloting electric RC buggies, competing in RC racing events, or managing a fleet of RC equipment—this adapter ensures consistent, reliable charging across all your transmitter batteries. The engineering quality matches what you'd expect from Spektrum products across their entire range of spread spectrum transmitter systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this charge adapter work with all Spektrum transmitter battery packs? — Yes, this adapter is specifically designed as a compatible connector for Spektrum rechargeable battery packs. It features the exact connector specification used across Spektrum's range of NiMh and LiPo battery packs designed for their transmitters. This universal compatibility means whether you own a single transmitter or several, this one adapter will work with all of them.
- What charger do I need to use with this adapter? — The gold banana plugs on this adapter are industry-standard connectors that work with virtually any RC charger or power supply with matching banana plug receptacles. Most hobby-grade RC chargers feature banana plugs, making this adapter compatible with your existing charging infrastructure. If your charger has different connectors, you may need an additional adapter, but this product provides the critical Spektrum battery pack interface.
- Is this suitable for both NiMh and LiPo batteries? — Yes, this charge adapter is compatible with both NiMh and LiPo Spektrum transmitter battery packs. The connector itself is battery chemistry-agnostic; the safety considerations for charging different battery types are handled by your charger's settings and safety systems. This universal compatibility means you can use the same adapter whether you're charging older NiMh batteries or upgrading to modern LiPo transmitter batteries.
- Why are the banana plugs gold-plated? — Gold plating provides superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard metal connectors. Over hundreds of charging cycles, gold maintains its conductivity properties while standard plating can oxidise and increase electrical resistance. Better conductivity means faster charging, lower heat generation during charging, and longer-term reliability. This is why professional-grade RC charging equipment uses gold connectors.
- What length is the cable? — The adapter measures 4.70 inches (120mm) in total length, providing a practical working distance between your charger and your Spektrum battery pack. This length is specifically engineered to reach from chargers to battery packs without excessive bulk while providing enough reach to avoid strain on connections.
- Is this the official Spektrum product? — Yes, the SPM Charge Adapter is manufactured by Spektrum, the leader in spread spectrum technology for RC applications. When you purchase through RC Model Shop, you receive a genuine Spektrum product with full compatibility assurance.
