Need help with charger!

[Todd (TC)]

So I'm new at all of this obviously. I have a Spektrum G2 3S 30c battery that im trying to charge on the Spektrum S120 charger. I bought an adapter that said IC3 battery/IC2 device when in reality it's an IC2 battery and IC3 device. I'm getting a whitish blueish two blinks on the charger. Can anyone enlighten me on whether that's charging or not? Or is it some sort of error code?

Update: I switched from a Samsung phone brick to an Amazon tablet brick and now I'm getting two purple flashes. The manual states double purple flash means batt capacity is between 25%-75%. I assume that means it charging?

Also, I am fully aware that the S120 is a crap charger, but it's what was in my current budget for a charger that would charge my 3S. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to tough it out for a bit as I'm not exactly financially gifted lol..but I did notice a difference from the Samsung phone brick to the Amazon tablet brick so I was wondering should I just stick with the Amazon brick or is there something a little more efficient without me buying a new charger.

I don't know anything about your current charger unfortunately.

But save your pennies and when you CAN, buy a Gens a cE Imars d300. You'll love it. Get away from the spektrum batteries and chargers is best imo.

I've read the same. gensacearespammers is at the top of my list when I can afford the upgrades. Fortunately I figured the charger situation out. Just needed a little more power. I ran the charger through QC 3.0 brick rather than the Samsung phone brick I was using a it actually charged up my little 3S fairly quickly. Thanks for the info! Cheers.

Gens A ce batteries**

I'm not sure why the heck it typed out like that

Edit:: why in the world does it keep inputing "gensacearespammers are spammers"??

Also, LOVE the truck. The notorious is by far my fave stunt truck out there as far as looks. Just a beautiful looking truck.

The forum changes it automatically to say that. I'm not entirely sure I know why

The Notorious is definitely a blast. Took me a long time to get one. Wished I'd of prioritized getting one sooner.

Best Arrma ever. Check the output watts on your power adapter, you’ll want one that’s 20watts+.

This is a great budget balance charger, it has served me well Amazon special

I appreciate that! That was the problem. I had it running off of a 5.0V/2.0A Samsung phone charger. I switched it to a QC 3.0 adapter and it actually charges surprisingly quick.
