5. When a cell is completely charged, its corresponding LED will
glow steady green. The 3-cell pack is fully charged when all 3
LEDs are steady green to indicate the pack is fully charged.
Note:
If the charger detects any of the battery’s cells are already fully
charged when you plug it into the charger, the LEDs corresponding to
the charged cells will not glow steady red and will default to steady
green to indicate those cells are fully charged.
The Traxxas High Current Connector
Your model is equipped with the patented
Traxxas High-Current Connector. Standard
connectors restrict current flow and are not
capable of delivering the power needed to
maximize the output of the Brushless Power
system.
The Traxxas connector’s gold-plated terminals with a large contact
surfaces ensure positive current flow with the least amount of
resistance. Secure, long-lasting, and easy to grip, the Traxxas
connector is engineered to extract all the power your battery has
to give.
Using Other Batteries
Your model is equipped with a state of the art, high-
performance power system. It is designed to be able to flow
large amounts power with least amount of restriction. The
benefits are drastically increased speed and acceleration.
However, this places extra demands on the battery and
electrical system connections. For best performance, your
model requires the use of battery packs that have cells rated
for high discharge and use high-quality, low-resistance
assembly techniques, such as the included Traxxas Power
Cell Battery Pack. Cheaply made battery packs do not retain
their performance characteristics after repeated uses in high-
powered electric applications. They will lose their punch and
run time and may require frequent replacement. In addition,
poor-quality, high-resistance cell connectors could fail,
requiring disassembly and repair. The main goal is to reduce
all sources of high resistance in the pack. This includes the
connector, the wire, and the bars attaching
the cells together. High pack resistance
will create additional heat and
rob you of the full power the cells
are capable of producing. We
recommend using Traxxas Power
Cell batteries for best performance.
