Technical Performance

The EZ-Peak Dual represents the pinnacle of dual-output charging technology for RC enthusiasts in the UK. With its robust 100-watt output capacity, this charger is engineered to deliver true 8-amp charging horsepower, making it suitable for serious RC car UK users who demand performance and speed. The dual-output architecture allows for genuinely simultaneous charging of two batteries at up to 50 watts (4 amps) each, or complete concentration of all 100 watts into a single channel for maximum output. The charger's advanced engineering incorporates high-resolution peak detection circuitry that monitors charging characteristics with extraordinary precision, ensuring that battery charge is optimised to perfection every single time. This level of sophistication in charge detection protects your battery investment by preventing overcharging and delivering the exact charge your batteries need. The multi-chemistry capability means the charger works seamlessly with both NiMH and LiPo chemistry batteries, giving you complete flexibility regardless of what battery types you own. The built-in balance ports for conventional LiPo batteries mean you can perform optimised balance charging without requiring additional external equipment. For backwards compatibility with older Traxxas battery systems, the Advanced Mode provides complete manual control over all charger settings, allowing you to work with legacy Traxxas Power Cell batteries equipped with first-generation High-Current Connectors. The charger is mains-powered only, meaning it requires connection to standard household electricity supplies. Temperature management through the integrated cooling fan ensures that the charger maintains safe operating temperatures even during extended charging sequences, which is particularly important when charging large-capacity batteries or performing multiple back-to-back charges. The Storage Mode feature brings LiPo batteries to an optimal voltage state for long-term storage, which is essential for preserving battery health and capacity when your RC collection is not in active use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I charge different battery types at the same time with the EZ-Peak Dual? — Yes, absolutely. One of the key advantages of the EZ-Peak Dual is its multi-chemistry capability, which means you can charge a NiMH battery in one channel and a LiPo battery in the other channel simultaneously. This flexibility is perfect for RC enthusiasts who run multiple models or who are transitioning between battery types.
• How much faster does the EZ-Peak Dual charge compared to standard chargers? — Traxxas iD LiPo batteries (4000mAh or higher) charge nearly 2x faster in High-Output mode compared to conventional chargers. This means substantially more time behind the wheel of your RC car UK model and significantly less downtime waiting for batteries to charge between race heats or bash sessions.
• Is the EZ-Peak Dual suitable for beginners to RC hobbies? — Absolutely. The Traxxas iD technology completely eliminates complicated charger programming—you simply plug in your iD battery and press Start. The charger automatically configures and optimises all charge settings, making it perfect for beginners who want professional charging performance without the learning curve. The easy-to-use interface, progress indicator, and audible alerts mean that even first-time users can charge their ready to run RC vehicles with confidence.
• What batteries are compatible with this charger? — The EZ-Peak Dual charges Traxxas iD-equipped batteries automatically, plus it supports 5-cell and 8-cell NiMH batteries and 2S and 3S LiPo batteries. The Advanced Mode provides backwards compatibility with any Traxxas Power Cell battery equipped with first-generation Traxxas High-Current Connectors. This covers virtually all standard Traxxas battery packs used in popular models like the Slash, E-Revo, TRX-4, and other brushless RC vehicles.
• Does the EZ-Peak Dual include balance charging capability? — Yes. The charger features two dedicated balance ports built directly into the unit for Traxxas LiPo batteries equipped with external balance leads. This optimised LiPo balance charging ensures that all cells within your battery pack are charged to equal voltages, which maximises performance and battery lifespan.
• What is the LiPo Storage Mode and why do I need it? — Storage Mode is a dedicated charging mode that safely prepares your LiPo batteries for extended storage by bringing them to an optimal storage voltage with a single button press. This feature is crucial for protecting your battery investment because LiPo batteries degrade faster when stored at full charge or completely discharged. Using Storage Mode when you're not using your RC models for extended periods preserves your battery capacity and extends their usable lifespan significantly.
• Can I charge two high-capacity batteries at full power simultaneously? — The charger supports dual simultaneous charging at up to 50 watts (4 amps) per channel. If you need maximum charging speed for a single large-capacity battery, switch to High-Output mode to dedicate all 100 watts and 8 amps to one channel. The flexibility of this system means you choose the charging strategy that best suits your schedule and battery requirements.
• Does the charger need any special installation or setup? — No special installation is required. The EZ-Peak Dual is mains-powered only, meaning you simply plug it into a standard UK household electricity supply and you're ready to start charging. There's no software to install, no calibration required, and no complicated setup procedures.
