Can you charge 1s battery with 2s charger?
1 Answer. According to this source, yes you can charge both 1s and 2s batteries at the same time. This is because, like you mentioned, there are separate charge controllers. You can also choose whether you want them to charge to 4.2v or 4.35v per cell.
Can you charge two Traxxas batteries at once?
This technology only works with Traxxas iD batteries; older, non-iD Traxxas batteries can be charged in manual mode by setting the battery type and charge rate. Traxxas Dual iD chargers can charge two batteries at the same time, even if they’re different types and capacities. The charger sets itself automatically.
Can you charge two Lipos in parallel?
When parallel charging, you need to keep some safety guidelines in mind: Never parallel charge lipos with different cell counts. Always check the voltages of each battery before charging them together. Generally speaking, you can charge packs if they are within 0.1 V of one another.
Does Traxxas EZ peak charge batteries?
It can charge other NiMH, NiCd and 2S or 3S LiPo batteries. The battery life depends on how hard the truck is driven.
How do I know if my Traxxas battery is bad?
The easiest way to tell if your Traxxas RC car battery is bad is to take the battery out and examine it. If the battery is swollen at all then the battery is bad and should immediately be replaced.
What is parallel charging?
Parallel charging allows you to charge more than one battery pack at the same time. The battery packs MUST be the same cell count or voltage for parallel charging to work. In a parallel circuit, the voltage remains the same, while the capacity is added together.
Can you parallel charge different mah?
No problem doing it as long as the voltage of the battery is the same. It is fine, just add all the mah up together, make sure they are all the same voltage/cell count and try not to have the individual batteries be too different in states of discharge.
How long does it take to charge a 1S battery?
The rate of charging a 1S LIPO battery depends on the current applied, but care must be taken not to exceed the current specification for the battery. For instance, a 1000mAh battery, charging at 1000mA will fully charge that battery in 1 hour, while charging it at 500mA will take twice as long, i.e. 2 hours.
