Read First Before Buy EZ Peak NiCad Charger Traxxas Connector
Our r/c and airsoft crazy 13 year old has been running and racing cars and trucks for about four years, and shooting high-end AEG airsoft rifles for about three. We have boxes full of parts, pieces and support gear all over the place!
The one piece of gear that gets used most often is this EZ-Peak NiMH charger made by Traxxas... it has easily saved us hundreds, probably even thousands, of hours over the years and it just keeps on going.
Our son's first higher end r/c car was a Traxxas Bandit XL5 and that was (and still is) a blast... but waiting for hours between recharges using the standard wall charger unit was not. Right away we realized that a charger upgrade would be a good thing, and we did a little research then purchased this great charger. BAM! A multiple hour job turned into 30 to 45 minute wait, and we purchased a few extra batteries too, in order to always have charged batteries on hand.
Most of our batteries are either hump-back style 6, 7 or 8 cells NiMH batteries ranging from 3300, 4200 or 5000 mAH... or stick-style 7 or 8 cell batteries from 1400 - 1600 mAH. Either way, this awesome charger just ramps the batteries back up to full charge so crazy fast - and the batteries have not been degraded at all either.
The process is very easy - turn the charger on, wait for the ready light, and then charge your battery. Once charged the light will turn green and you are good to go. What I really like about this charger, as compared to others, is that it has a maintenance feature that lowers the power to a trickle-charge once the battery is done -- this prevents killing your battery by accidentally overcharging it.
As another reviewer noted - only charge cool batteries to max battery life and charger life and to be safe. As for the alligator clip lines on the unit -- we left them on and are glad we did because our neighbor's motorcycle battery went down and he used these clip and this charger to get enough juice in his bike to get it started and go to the local NAPA store. Otherwise we keep them wrapped and not touching.
If you have a similar need for a charger, we recommend this one very highly.
Great device charges the batteries all the way in a half hour, great little purchase, glad i got it. Does get a little hot though after two batteries.
BalasHapusGreat charger right out of the box. Does what it is supposed to - quick charging in fraction of the time of the original one.

BalasHapusThis is a straight forward 4 amp charger for 6-8 cell batteries. In its simplicity, there are no fancy monitoring gauges or buttons, dials, knobs or switches to mess with. Plug it in, plug in your battery, and it charges in an hour or less. That's it. Package arrived in great condition from seller, and was nice and clean out of the box.
BalasHapusThis is a must have. It takes only 30 min to charger the battery compared to the charger that came with my Traxxas Slash that takes 8 hours to charge a battery......YOU HAVE TO OWN THIS
BalasHapusThis charger does and has exactly what it says in the product description. charges my batteries in less time than it actually says. so thats good. This charger doesnt get very hot either.Also if you are on a budget this should exceed your expectations of a cheaper charger. Always been a Traxxas fan, affordable and long lasting. THE FASTEST NAME IN RADIO CONTROL.
