FAQ

What does the Spektrum SPMXCA320 adapter do? It allows a battery fitted with an IC2 connector to connect to a compatible device or charger with an IC3 connection.

Can I charge an IC2 Spektrum Smart battery with an IC3 charger? Yes, provided the charger supports the battery's chemistry, cell count and charging requirements. The SPMXCA320 adapter provides the necessary IC2-to-IC3 connector connection.

Is this adapter compatible with EC2 connectors? No. Spektrum specifically states that IC2 connectors and charge leads are not compatible with EC2 connectors.

What is the difference between IC2 and IC3? IC2 and IC3 are different connector sizes within the Spektrum IC connector family. This adapter allows an IC2-equipped battery to connect to a compatible IC3-equipped device.

Which end connects to the battery? The IC2 connection is intended for the battery, while the IC3 connection connects to the compatible charger or device.

Does this adapter support Spektrum Smart batteries? Yes. Spektrum identifies charging IC2-equipped Smart batteries as the adapter's primary application. Smart charging functions still depend on the connected battery and charger.

Does the adapter make a standard battery Smart? No. The adapter changes the physical connection; it does not add Smart battery electronics or data capabilities to a non-Smart battery.

How long is the adapter? Spektrum lists the adapter as a 6-inch lead, approximately 152mm long.

Does installation require soldering? No. The adapter is supplied as a ready-to-use connector lead for compatible connections.

Can I use this adapter with any IC3 charger? The connector must fit, and the charger must support the connected battery's chemistry, voltage, cell count and charging requirements. Connector compatibility alone does not guarantee charging compatibility.

Can this adapter be used for powering an RC vehicle? Spektrum describes it as an adapter between an IC2 battery and IC3 device, but its primary intended use is charging. Any other application must remain within the battery, connector, wiring and device electrical limits.

Does the package include a battery or charger? No. The package contains one adapter lead only.
