Key Features
- Traxxas iD® Technology — This innovative battery management system automatically detects your battery type and composition, then delivers the exact charge profile needed for optimal performance and safety. This means you simply plug in your iD battery and the charger handles all the complex calculations automatically, eliminating the risk of incorrect charging parameters that could damage your battery or reduce its lifespan.
- Built-In Balance Charging — The integrated cell balancer monitors and equalises the voltage across each cell in your 2-cell LiPo battery during the charging process. This ensures that both cells are charged to exactly the same voltage level, maximising battery performance, extending battery life and maintaining consistent power delivery throughout use.
- 2-Amp Fast Charging Rate — The charger delivers a robust 2-amp charging current, which means your Power Cell 2s 2821 LiPo battery will reach full charge significantly faster than with lower-amperage chargers. This is particularly valuable when you have multiple batteries and want to rotate them quickly between runs at the track or during a long bashing session.
- USB-A Power Input — Universal USB-A connectivity means you can charge from virtually any USB power source, including standard computer USB ports, USB wall adapters, car chargers and portable power banks. This flexibility makes it perfect for charging at home, in the office, at the track or anywhere else your RC hobby takes you.
- Simple LED Charge Status Indicator — The single LED light provides clear visual feedback throughout the charging process. When the light turns green, your battery is fully charged and ready for action. This straightforward system requires no knowledge of electronics or charging parameters – perfect for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike.
- LiPo 2-Cell Compatibility — Specifically designed for 2-cell 7.4 volt lithium polymer batteries with iD connectors, this charger delivers optimised performance for this popular battery format. The dedicated design ensures perfect charging characteristics tailored to 2S LiPo chemistry, delivering superior results compared to generic multi-chemistry chargers.
- Compact Portable Design — The charger's small footprint and lightweight construction make it incredibly portable and convenient. Throw it in your RC toolkit, backpack or car boot and you will always have a reliable charging solution with you, whether you are heading to the local RC car club, a bash spot or on holiday.
- iD Connector Compatibility — This charger works exclusively with batteries featuring Traxxas iD connectors, ensuring a secure, keyed connection that prevents incorrect polarity connection and provides additional safety during charging.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX9767 charger represents a significant engineering achievement in portable RC battery charging technology. Built with quality components and intelligent circuitry, this charger delivers professional-grade charging performance in a consumer-friendly package that requires no technical expertise to operate. The 2-amp charging rate is well-matched to the capacity of typical 2-cell Power Cell batteries, providing fast turnaround times whilst maintaining optimal charge curves that protect battery health. The integrated balance charger continuously monitors cell voltage throughout the charging process, automatically adjusting current distribution to ensure both cells in your 2S LiPo battery charge uniformly. This is crucial for LiPo battery longevity, performance consistency and safety – unbalanced cells can lead to reduced runtime, hot spots during discharge and potential failure. The Traxxas iD® technology employed in this charger uses sophisticated microcontroller algorithms to detect battery chemistry, cell count and pack impedance characteristics, then applies the precise charge profile needed for that specific battery. This level of intelligent charge management, previously found only in expensive standalone chargers, is now available in this affordable USB-powered unit. The compact design utilises efficient switched-mode power supply technology, which is why USB power is suitable despite the 2-amp output capability. Build quality is evident throughout – the charger housing is tough and durable, connectors are robust, and the overall construction suggests this is equipment that will last through years of regular use. Whether you are charging a single battery or maintaining a fleet of Power Cell packs for your TRX-4M micro crawler or other Traxxas ready to run RC model, the TRX9767 delivers the performance, reliability and convenience that UK RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Traxxas iD® technology and why does it matter for my RC batteries? — Traxxas iD® technology is an intelligent battery management system built into both the charger and compatible Traxxas batteries. When you plug an iD battery into an iD charger, the charger automatically reads the battery's characteristics including cell count, capacity and chemistry, then applies the perfect charge profile without any manual configuration. This eliminates user error, protects your battery from overcharging or undercharging, and ensures your battery performs at its absolute best every time you charge it. For anyone serious about getting the most from their RC investment, iD technology is invaluable.
- Is this charger suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The TRX9767 is one of the most beginner-friendly battery chargers available. The intelligent iD technology means there are no confusing menus, no dip switches to configure and no risk of setting incorrect charge parameters. Simply plug your iD battery in and the charger does everything else. The green LED indicator clearly shows when charging is complete. This makes it perfect for newcomers to RC who want professional charging performance without the learning curve.
- What battery does this charger require and what batteries can it charge? — The TRX9767 charger connects to any USB power source – a computer USB port, a USB wall adapter, a car charger or a portable power bank. It will charge any 2-cell 7.4 volt LiPo battery that features the Traxxas iD connector, including the Power Cell 2s 2821 LiPo battery. The iD connector is keyed so it will only fit correctly one way, preventing accidental reverse polarity connection.
- How long does it take to charge a typical 2-cell LiPo battery with this charger? — The exact charging time depends on the battery capacity and current charge level, but the 2-amp charging rate means you can expect a full charge within 30-45 minutes for typical Power Cell 2S batteries. This is significantly faster than lower-amperage chargers, allowing you to rotate batteries quickly and keep your RC bashing sessions going longer.
- Can I use this charger with non-Traxxas batteries? — This charger is specifically engineered for 2-cell LiPo batteries with iD connectors. Whilst other 7.4 volt 2-cell LiPo packs may physically connect, the iD technology may not recognise them and the charger is optimised for Traxxas Power Cell batteries. For best results and to ensure battery safety, we recommend using this charger exclusively with genuine Traxxas iD batteries.
- Is this charger waterproof or weather-resistant? — The TRX9767 is a precision electronic device and should be kept dry. It is suitable for indoor use and protected outdoor use, but should not be exposed to rain, water splashes or excessive moisture. Always store the charger in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
- What makes this charger different from other USB chargers on the market? — The key differentiator is Traxxas iD® technology combined with integrated balance charging. Many generic USB chargers lack intelligent battery detection, meaning you must manually select charging parameters – introducing risk of error. The TRX9767 automatically identifies your battery and delivers the perfect charge profile every time. The integrated balancer ensures both cells charge uniformly, which generic chargers often lack. Combined with the affordable price point, this charger offers exceptional value for UK RC enthusiasts.
