The DBXL-E 2.0 requires two batteries for operation. Choose a matched pair of 3S

or 4S batteries to power the DBXL-E 2.0. The included Spektrum

SMART

160A Brushless ESC (SPMXSE1160) has two IC5

battery connectors wired in

series, so the vehicle will operate on 6S when powered by two 3S batteries, and 8S

when powered by two 4S batteries. We recommend a pair of Spektrum 5000mAh

3S 11.1V 100C SMART LiPo Batteries (SPMX50003S100H5) or a pair of Spektrum

5000mAh 4S 14.8V 100C SMART LiPo Batteries (SPMX50004S100H5).

We recommend using Spektrum SMART Batteries with a Spektrum SMART charger

because the charger will automatically conﬁgure the charge settings. The Spektrum

Smart S2200 G2 AC Charger (SPMXC2010) has dual charge ports, making it ideal

for the DBXL-E 2.0 because it can charge both batteries required for operation.

Refer to your battery and charger manuals for usage, safety, and charging information.
