The Traxxas EZ Peak Live Dual is a high-output dual charger with 26 amps of
total output. Each of the two channels has a maximum output of 16 amps. EZ Peak
Live Dual can charge two 4s LiPo batteries simultaneously and provides
maximum charging power for Traxxas nickel metal hydride and LiPo batteries.
iD technology makes charging easier and safer and built-in Bluetooth
connectivity allows for use with the EZ Peak Live mobile app. The charger also
features Maxx Charge, which allows for more control over power distribution.
Let's take a look in the box to see all the features of the EZ Peak Live Dual.
The included manual shows maximum charge rates for most Traxxas nickel metal
hydride and LiPo battery capacities and charger settings. These two 5000mAh
3S LiPo's with iD can charge simultaneously at over eight amps
each.
The LED status bars indicate charging progress. These two nickel metal hydride
batteries have different capacities but iD technology detects the battery type
and size and charges each battery at the appropriate rate. These 4S 6700mAh
LiPo batteries with ID can charge at over 6 amps each with
multi-chemistry capability. EZ Peak Live Dual. Provides an easier and safer way to
charge nickel metal hydride and LiPo Traxxas iD-equipped batteries at the same
time. In addition to the standard balance charge, batteries can be storage charged
or fast charged. With two batteries plugged in, Maxx Charge can be activated
either before or during charging to distribute maximum power to the battery
on the right for a faster charge. This feature can be used when you want to get
a single battery charge as quickly as possible while a battery on the left
port can continue to charge at a decreased rate as the battery on the Maxx
Charge channel nears completion the remaining available current is
automatically sent to the left channel. Maxx Charge is only for use with Traxxas
LiPo batteries. The EZ Peak Live app is available for Android and Apple devices
and connects to the charger using Bluetooth connectivity.
Tap the arrows on the screen to alternate between batteries, allowing you
to read data and adjust charge settings for the batteries individually.
Tap 'Cell Voltage' to check the voltage of the individual cells in each battery pack.
With these two 3S LiPos charging, notice the charging current of each battery.
Both batteries are charging at 8.3 amps. When Maxx Charge is activated, the
charging power for the right side increases to the maximum amount.
Let's try Maxx Charge with the Traxxas 3S 5000 with iD on the left and
a 2S 7600 with iD on the right.
When Maxx Charge is activated, the 2-cell LiPo on the right climbs from
12.2 amps to over 15 amps. As the battery being Maxx charged nears
completion, power is automatically transferred back to the other channel, up
to the maximum allowable iD current for that battery. Max Charge, Traxxas iD
technology, and the EZ Peak Live Dual's high power output all work together to
charge Traxxas batteries faster for virtually non-stop fun. The app also
features manual controls for charging legacy Traxxas batteries with first
generation high-current connectors. For a legacy Traxxas lipo battery just open
the compartment next to either charge port to connect the balance plug and
then plug in the battery. A connection with the app is needed when entering
settings for manual operation. Enter the settings manually in the app and press
the start button on the charger to begin charging. The iD button will light green
instead of blue when manual mode is enabled. The app
interface will display a detailed charge status and show remaining charge time.
The charger also features a 2 amp USB power output port which can be used to
charge mobile devices. To learn more about the EZ Peak Live Dual, visit
