Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus suitable for beginner RC users? — Absolutely yes. This charger is specifically designed for ease of use and is one of the most beginner-friendly charging solutions available. The automatic iD battery recognition means you simply plug in your Traxxas iD battery and the charger does all the work for you — there are no complex menus to navigate or technical knowledge required. Even younger or less experienced RC enthusiasts will find it incredibly easy to use safely.
• What batteries can I charge with the EZ-Peak Plus? — The charger supports both NiMH and LiPo batteries. For NiMH batteries, it charges 5, 6, 7 and 8-cell packs. For LiPo batteries, it charges 2S (2-cell) and 3S (3-cell) packs, which covers the vast majority of Traxxas ready-to-run models currently available in the UK market. It also works with conventional LiPo batteries that don't have iD connectors, thanks to the built-in balance ports on the front of the unit.
• How long does it take to charge a battery? — The EZ-Peak Plus offers 4-amp fast charging, which significantly reduces charge times compared to standard 2-amp chargers. The exact charge time depends on your battery's capacity and current state of charge, but the 4-amp output means you'll be ready to run sooner than with lower-output chargers.
• What makes the iD system better than traditional charging? — The Traxxas iD system is revolutionary because it eliminates guesswork from charging. Traditional chargers require you to manually select your battery type, cell count and charging current — mistakes can damage your battery or cause safety issues. The iD system automatically recognises your battery and configures itself perfectly every time, making charging safer and more reliable. Additionally, the integrated balance connector on iD batteries eliminates fragile external balance wires and connectors, and the need for separate balance boards.
• Can I use the EZ-Peak Plus with my existing non-iD Traxxas batteries? — Yes, absolutely. The charger includes built-in balance ports for conventional LiPo batteries and supports all legacy Traxxas High-Current Connectors. You'll have the ability to charge your entire collection of Traxxas batteries regardless of age or connector type.
• What is Storage Mode and why do I need it? — Storage Mode is a one-button feature that prepares your LiPo batteries for extended storage by charging them to the ideal voltage level for long-term preservation. LiPo batteries stored at full charge or completely discharged can lose capacity and become damaged over time. Storage Mode prevents this, protecting your battery investment if you're not using your RC for a while.
• Is the charger noisy? — The EZ-Peak Plus includes a built-in cooling fan which produces only a small amount of noise during operation. Most UK users report that the fan noise is completely acceptable for garage or workshop use and is not disruptive during typical charging sessions.
• How does the EZ-Peak Plus compare to other Traxxas chargers? — The EZ-Peak Plus is Traxxas's most advanced single-battery charger, offering 4-amp charging with automatic iD recognition and optimised balance charging. It's an upgrade over earlier EZ-Peak models with enhanced features like Storage Mode and Advanced Mode. If you need to charge multiple batteries simultaneously, Traxxas also offers the EZ-Peak Plus Dual charger, but the single-unit EZ-Peak Plus is perfect for most UK RC enthusiasts with one or two vehicles.
• What warranty does the charger come with? — The EZ-Peak Plus is backed by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty, providing complete peace of mind that your investment is protected for years of reliable service.
