Traxxas 2970 EZ-Peak Plus 4-Amp NiMH/LiPo Fast Charger with ID Auto Battery Identification Vehicle

Great battery charger. Charges batteries in less than half the time.

So far I’ve used this charger 3 times with my Traxxas 10,000 mah 2s LIPO battery that I use for my Stampede 4x4 VXL. It’s worked as expected and has done a great job charging the battery quickly and efficiently. First thing I had to do with the charger out of the box was change it to LIPO mode by plugging in the battery and pressing the selector button until the LED light turned from red to green. I left all the other settings alone and haven’t tried them yet such as the quick charge and storage setting. Then to charge the battery I simply press the illuminated blue Start button for a couple of seconds and the LED lights on the unit change to indicate charging has started.Even after I ran my RC until the the low voltage shut off kicked in and couldn’t drive anymore it took about a little over an hour to fully charge the battery. After fully charged my battery gives me a good solid 45 minutes if not more of nearly continuous run time. That was at a nearby flat grassy park and with the original pinion gear installed.When charging I can hear the fan inside running and can definitely smell the electronics working. So it’s best to charge in a well ventilated area. I also keep my battery sitting inside my Colcase explosion proof bag while charging or not in use. While charging though the battery cables are too short to allow the bag to stand up straight but good thing it has dual zippers so I just zip it with the battery cables sticking out the front and plugged into the charger.Another thing I have to mention is a couple of times when I connected the battery to the charger the charger’s red light would blink and I thought my battery was bad or the charger was broken. Not at all. I just unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. The connection was just a bit loose as I didn’t plug it in snug enough. Now I know to make sure it’s snug every time.That’s about it. Although it’s a pricey charger I think it’s well worth it to get a full charge out of my battery in a short amount of time. Plus the unit is small enough that I can toss it in my power screwdriver carrying bag for storage or to take with me when going out. I’d definitely recommend this one.

Good product

Works great for all lipo batteries even non traxxas up to 3s. Will not work for 4s

This was a necessary purchase since the RC car only comes with a car outlet charger. So far, this charger has worked well enough. I still haven't been able to quite figure out how to charge at a rate other than 1 amp or 4 amps. But the 1 amp setting is fast enough that it isn't a big deal. It definitely has a fan running in it but it hasn't sounded mistakable for a jet engine yet.

Works as it should.

Great charger. Easy to use, charges battery’s quickly. A necessity for RC
