S2100 vs. S2200 vs. D6 Pro vs. D300

First, let’s compare the Spektrum S2100 and S2200 smart chargers. Then, we’ll compare these two with the popular Hota D6 Pro and Gens ace iMars D300 chargers. Let’s examine their differences and determine which one is the best choice.

Spektrum S2100 vs. S2200

Charger	S2100	S2200
Charge Power	AC 100W × 2	AC 200W × 2
Channel	2	2
Max.Charge Current	14A × 2	20A × 2
Size	145×145×104 mm	145×145×104 mm
Weight	1070g	1070g

The biggest differences between the two are charging power and price; their other specs are essentially the same. Whether 100W or 200W is better depends on the batteries you typically use. For instance, a 100W charger can provide 4.5A charging power for a 6S 5000mAh LiPo, taking about an hour to fully charge. Therefore, the S2100 is generally sufficient for batteries smaller than 6S 5000mAh. For larger batteries, the S2200 can deliver the necessary power.

The Spektrum S2100 and S2200 chargers are easy to operate and safe, making them ideal for beginners or those who prefer Smart technology. By the way, for most people, the popular Hota D6 Pro and Gens ace iMars D300 chargers might be worth considering. Why? Let’s introduce these two chargers and compare them with the Spektrum S2100 and S2200.

D6 Pro and D300

Charger	D6 Pro	D300
Charge Power	AC 100W×2 / DC 325W×2	AC 150W×2 / DC 300W×2
Channel	2	2
Max.Charge Current	15A × 2	16A × 2
Size	108×105×76mm	145×76×62 mm
Weight	555g	530g

Reasons to consider:

1. In addition to supporting AC power input, they also support DC, providing higher charging power.
2. They are nearly half the size and weight, making them easy to carry on the go.
3. Although the D6 Pro lacks Smart technology, its user experience is still excellent, with the Shuttle Key allowing quick selection of functions.
4. The D300 is also a smart charger. When connected to Gens ace batteries with a G-tech balance connector, it offers almost all the smart features of the Spektrum chargers, such as play-and-go, record, storage, etc. Additionally, it is compatible with other batteries, though without the smart features.

Summary

The standout feature of the Spektrum S2100 and S2200 is their Smart technology. However, their large size and weight are drawbacks for me. There are many great alternatives on the market that offer comparable product experiences, such as the D6 Pro and iMars D300 mentioned above. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, and it’s worth considering various needs before making a decision.
