Storage charge
Makes it easy to charge or discharge
batteries to the proper storage
voltage. Use this mode whenever
batteries will be stored unused for
more than 7 days.
Fast charge
Fast charges batteries without
balancing your cells. Stops charging
when the first cell reaches peak voltage.
Depending on the condition of the
batteries, this may reduce the charge
time by a few minutes.
Balance charge
Always balance charge your LiPo
batteries for maximum capacity,
voltage, and battery life. This is the
default setting for Traxxas iD batteries.
The EZ-Peak Dual performs a balance
charge quickly and efficiently.

Charging Traxxas iD Batteries
in High Output Mode
High Output Mode allows you to charge high capacity batteries
at a faster charge rate. Use the high output channel to charge your
5000 mAh NiMH batteries at 5 amps and your 4000 mAh and larger
LiPo batteries at a "2C" charge rate (2C is 2 times the capacity; 4000
mAh x 2 = 8000 or 8 amps). Only one Traxxas battery at a time can be
charged in High Output Mode using the output port on the right side
of the charger (the left side of the charger is disabled). Move the switch
to High Output, and follow steps 1-4 for Traxxas iD battery charging.
