This is the only video on RU-vid that clearly shows how to use it correctly without a whole bunch of useless garbage talk🙏🏽 thank you!

that's what I'm saying lol how every video should be lol

The best quick video with no BS. So direct and to the point! Thanks!

@barrelracer318 3 месяца назад

Quick to the point and direct. Thank you for not having an 11minute video with 7 minutes of not on topic everything. Also that weird noise means your cooling fan has a bad bearing.

@RozZinDisguise Год назад

So is it normal that the start button doesn't light up when using non Traxxas lipos? Thanks

@falcondragonslayer 9 месяцев назад

Can you do this with an adapter on the battery? I assume you can, but I want to make sure, cause I’m gonna be using it with a battery that has an IC5 connector

@oldmanradic4243 Год назад

ok so i did what you said. Now I have finished driving my car and want to store the battery. Do I have to do this process again for the charger to recognise my non traxxas batteries or are the settings stored on the charger so I don't have to keep doing the 2 button down thing all the time?

Will it off automatically same as traxxas batteries? So annoying with traxxas batteries, used for a year. x3 3s original traxxas batteries became like a balloon shape.. one died... afraid to use it anymore. Bought hbrs

@cmorlok Год назад

Late to this video, based on the age of these comments, but is it safe to charge 2 cell, 7200mah lipo batteries on the 4a setting? So many videos about this just say to take the 1st # in the milliamp and use that? I’m new and don’t want to screw this up. Thx

@phillipkuntze137 Год назад

So I am new to the RC world and know nothing about charging batteries like this, I bought a Traxxas Maxx and the ez-peak live dual Traxxas charger which is fine if I'm using Traxxas batteries obviously but I bought some yowoo 4S 6500 milliamp graphene batteries it tells me I need to check the charge on it first before I charge it so my question is how do I test these batteries first and then charge them so I don't blow myself up LOL?

@hobertjr Год назад

The odd sound is the fan if you turn the charger on to its right side and tap on the fan with your finger it will quit the fan just gets out of balance due to dust or debris Through Time sometimes if you blow the fan out with a can of compressed air it will clear it up also

@ootek77 2 года назад

my battery will only charge on 3A. is that a problem? when i try 4A, the top and bottom lights flash.

@verrico1183 2 года назад

Again Nope I have the same batteries minus they are 5000mAh and 50C but don't think that problem and charger does same blinking it starts with. Could these be fully charged upon getting them from seller? I am guessing as I have really only used Traxxas batteries.

@Jinx_420 2 года назад

How long does it take to charge these batteries? Do they take longer than the ID batteries and if so how long do they take to charge and do you know if it can fit in my 1/16 Traxxas E-Revo

@falcondragonslayer 9 месяцев назад

It should take the same amount of time (assuming the MAh of the battery and the charge rate is the same)

@brodyk2518 3 года назад

If you take the charger apart and take the fan out you can peal a sticker up and there is a bushing on it so you oil it and then its fixed and wont make that noise

@GReviewz 3 года назад

Haha. Thank you very much. I assume you've had that issue as well? So it's just the bearing in the cooling fan?

@brodyk2518 3 года назад

@@GReviewz yes you take the bottom screws out of the charger and the fan is held in my a groove so u can just pull it up and there is a sticker on the middle of the fan so you peal it up and put a little bit of oil in it and then push the sticker back down and put it back together. It only takes like 5 min

@flhandster4395 3 месяца назад

@@GReviewz It’s rather unusual for a third party Lipo battery to come with a Traxxas connector. The connectors must not have the Traxxas smart chip in them because only Traxxas batteries have that technology with the integrated connectors. 😏🧐😎
