Great charger for Traxxas batteries. Charges my 7600 MAH 2C for my TRX4's quick from storage. Usually inside 20 minutes. I have the link app on my laptop and the ability to change settings like more amps or voltage is a nice touch. Normally I leave it on auto and haven't been disappointed with charge times.
This charger works great, the phone app was easy even for me.
Wish I would have spent the extra to get the one that could charge two batteries at once. Like most traxxas stuff, super easy too use. The blue tooth is actually nice for when you want to walk away. Can have my charger in the garage while I do stuff in the kitchen for example.
Don’t think twice just add to cart...amainhobbies are the best rc online store on the web....
The good: fantastic user interface, courtesy of the smartphone application. There is no easier setup. Plenty of profiles for different batteries (cell count and capacity). Good power, so it's fairly quick (I haven't charged any big packs - mine are 2S 5000-5500mAH size). Fan isn't too loud. Easy plugs if you make your own adapters. The bad: the Bluetooth connection is atrocious - I sit 10' away and it's constantly disconnecting. This is the biggest drawback to the unit, in my opinion. It's also Traxxas-ID focused, so you'll have to buy/make adapters. My Batts all have XT60 connections, so I just adapted. I'm considering upgrading and getting a Dual Live, but I'm slightly worried about the BT sucking as badly.
Reviewers generally rate this single-port Traxxas charger highly, praising its ease of setup, the smartphone app interface, and fast charging, including a 7600mAh 2C pack reported to charge in about 20 minutes. Several note that it offers many battery profiles and adjustable settings through the app. The main recurring complaint is an unreliable Bluetooth connection, with one reviewer reporting frequent disconnects at about 10 feet. Reviewers also note it is Traxxas-ID focused, so owners of other connectors need adapters. One reviewer wished they had bought a dual-bay model. One review is a general store endorsement without product detail.
