Frequently Asked Questions

• What size batteries does this charger work with? — This charger is specifically designed for 1S LiPo batteries with PH1.25 2-pin connectors. It delivers 500mAh of charging capacity, making it ideal for small-capacity batteries typically found in micro RC helicopters, pocket RC quadcopters, and other mini-scale RC models. If your battery has a different connector type or is a different cell count (2S, 3S, etc.), you will need a different charger.
• Can I use this charger with any USB power source? — Yes, this charger is compatible with any standard USB power source equipped with either USB-C or USB-A ports. The included USB-C cable connects directly to USB-C ports, whilst the included USB-C to USB-A adapter allows you to connect to traditional USB-A ports found on computers, USB wall adapters, and power banks. This flexibility means you can charge virtually anywhere you have access to USB power.
• Is this charger suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This charger is specifically designed to be easy to use with no complex settings or configurations required. Simply connect your 1S LiPo battery to the PH1.25 connector, plug the charger into a USB power source, and the charger handles the rest. It's an excellent choice for beginners discovering RC helicopters, RC quadcopters, or other micro-scale RC models for the first time.
• What makes USB-C charging better than older USB standards? — USB-C has become the modern standard for electronic devices because it offers faster data transfer, higher power delivery capability, and superior durability compared to older Micro-USB or Mini-USB connectors. USB-C ports are now found on virtually all contemporary laptops, tablets, smartphones, and USB power supplies, making this charger far more versatile and future-proof than chargers using outdated connector types. For UK RC enthusiasts, this means you're far more likely to have a compatible power source readily available.
• How long does it take to charge a 1S battery? — Charging time depends on your specific battery's capacity and the power output of your USB source. The 500mAh rating of this charger indicates it's optimised for small-capacity 1S batteries typical in micro RC applications. For precise charging times, you should refer to the capacity of your specific battery pack.
• What is the difference between this 1S charger and Spektrum's 2S chargers? — This 1S PH1.25 charger is specifically designed for single-cell LiPo batteries with PH1.25 2-pin connectors, whilst Spektrum's 2S chargers (such as the SPMXC0020) are designed for dual-cell LiPo batteries with larger PH2.0 3-pin connectors. The choice between them depends entirely on what battery type your RC model uses. Check your battery's connector type and cell count to determine which charger you need.
• Is this charger safe for unattended charging? — Spektrum has engineered this charger with safety as a priority. However, as with any lithium battery charging, it's always good practice to supervise the charging process and ensure proper ventilation. Never leave batteries charging in extreme temperatures or on flammable surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines provided in the instruction manual.
