Charging Traxxas Batteries without iD in Advanced Mode
Advanced Mode
offers full manual control for users that have an in-depth knowledge of battery types (chemistry) and battery charging techniques.
Advanced mode also allows you to adjust the charge rate (current) for Traxxas iD batteries. If you do not understand the differences in various battery
types or what charge rates should be used, then do not use Advanced Mode. Use the Traxxas Battery iD System instead for safe, easy, and fast charging.
High Output Mode
(see above) can also be used while charging batteries in
Advanced Mode
.
When batteries are connected for charging
that do not have Traxxas Battery iD, the red
charge rate/progress LEDs will sweep in a
scanning motion. Advanced Mode must be
used for manual battery type and charge rate
selection. The Start button will not light blue
when there is no Traxxas Battery iD present.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to charge LiPo batteries with missing or damaged balance connectors. The EZ-Peak Dual will default to LiPo mode
charging when a balance plug connection is detected. If you fail to plug in the balance connector, or attempt to charge a LiPo battery with a damaged
or missing balance connector, you create the risk of accidentally selecting to charge a LiPo battery in NiMH mode, resulting in fire and possible injury
to yourself and others. Always make sure to select the battery type that matches the connected battery.
If you do not understand what this warning
means, do not attempt to use Advanced Mode on the EZ-Peak Dual. Contact Traxxas for more information.
LiPo Only
WARNING:
When the charger is switched to High Output Mode, the charge rate selection begins at 5 amps and goes up to 8 amps. Make sure you
do not exceed the maximum charge rate recommended by your battery manufacturer. If you are unsure about the maximum charge rate for your
battery, then do not attempt to charge the battery in Advanced Mode. Contact Traxxas or your local hobby dealer for more information.
3b. Charging a LiPo battery or batteries
LiPo mode should be selected by default (green LEDs). If the LiPo and
NiMH LEDs alternately blink, then the balance connector is either
disconnected or damaged. Do not attempt to charge this LiPo battery.
