How to change SPEKTRUM DX5R to Rechargable Lipo

[@ryandupay4022]

I don't like many videos, but I liked this one.

Thanks!

If you look next to where you plugged in the lipo you will see another same connector. what is that for?

[@butch3715]

I've flown R/C craft for decades. The DX5 Pro is my first land based transmitter. Seems damn odd Spektrum wouldn't come up with a simple charging plug located somewhere on the transmitter so its rechargeable battery wouldn't have to be removed each time for charging (menu activated or deactivated depending on which type of battery is used). What I'll probably do is add a 2nd cable and plug parallel the battery cable, and route it through the slot on the bottom for charging.

Thanks! That's a great idea #T4L

[@edwincordero8]

So you need to remove the 2 screws everytime for charging, right?

[@TribeRc]

yes sir that is correct

[@Enfieldriderlongisland]

That’s a deal breaker. Futaba has a charging port on the radio

bonjour, SPEKTRUM CHARGEUR SPM9551 compatible dx5r +SPMB2000LITX merci

[@mjm82582]

What charger are you using to charge the battery? thanks

[@TribeRc]

mjm82582 I Use the Venom Duo charger. I had to purchase a adapter to charge the battery with it.

[@mjm82582]

TRIBE RC ok thanks I have the same battery but I have a hitec rdx1 charger and when I try to charge it i get a connection error because there is no balance connection on the battery

[@TribeRc]

mjm82582 use basic charge not balance charge

[@Alohakoa59]

How do you recharge? Take it out every time?

[@TribeRc]

Unfortunately, yes. Thats how I do it.

Background music is so stupid. Can’t hear the talking to well.

[@igeliga]

Can I intall a lipo battery on dx5c?

[@TribeRc]

Im not 100^ sure, but it should be no different than the Dx5r in that manner. Goodluck and thanks for checking out the Channel #T4L
