CHARGING THE LiPo BATTERY PACK
(Models #2407L / #3607L / #3707L)
Before charging the provided 2-Cell LiPo battery please read an
understand all safety precautions at the beginning of this manual.
The included charger can be used to charge the provided battery
pack. The supplied charger has an output rate of 800mAh (0.8
amps), and may require up to seven hours to fully charge a battery.
For faster charging, the optional Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus can charge at
up to 6 amps to reduce charging time to an hour or less. WARNING:
ONLY use a charger designed for LiPo batteries. NEVER charge a
LiPo battery using a NiMH charger, or a NiMH charging mode.
1. Insert the AC power cord into the charger.
2. Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (110-240V). All three LEDs
will light steady green and flash red to indicate the charger is
ready to charge.
3. Plug your Traxxas Power Cell 2-cell LiPo into the charger using
its balance plug. LEDs 1 and 2 will glow steady red, indicating
charging is underway. Do not leave battery and charger
unattended while charging.
4. This charger is not designed to charge two packs simultaneously.
If two batteries are plugged into the charger at the same time,
the charger will shut down. Unplug the charger and remove any
installed batteries to reset it.
5. When a cell is completely charged, its corresponding LED will
glow steady green. The 2-cell pack is fully charged when LEDs 1
and 2 are steady green.
Note: If the charger detects any of the battery’s cells are already fully
charged when you plug it into the charger, the LEDs corresponding to
the charged cells will not glow steady red and will default to steady
green to indicate those cells are fully charged.

RADIO & VELINEON POWER SYSTEM
Using Other Batteries
Your model is equipped with a state of the art, high-
performance power system. It is designed to be able to flow
large amounts power with least amount of restriction. The
benefits are drastically increased speed and acceleration.
However, this places extra demands on the battery and
electrical system connections. For best performance, your
model requires the use of battery packs that have cells rated
for high discharge and use high-quality, low-resistance
assembly techniques, such as the included Traxxas Power
Cell Battery Pack. Cheaply made battery packs do not retain
their performance characteristics after repeated uses in high-
powered electric applications. They will lose their punch and
run time and may require frequent replacement. In addition,
poor-quality, high-resistance cell connectors could fail,
requiring disassembly and repair. The main goal
is to reduce all sources of high resistance in the
pack. This includes the connector, the wire,
and the bars attaching the cells together.
High pack resistance will create additional
heat and rob you of the full power the
cells are capable of producing. We
recommend using Traxxas Power Cell
batteries for best performance.

Using Other Chargers
Another convenient option
for charging the included
battery is an AC peak-
detecting charger that
plugs directly into an AC
wall outlet, such as the TRX
EZ-Peak™ (Part #2930).
It contains special peak-
detection circuitry that
automatically shuts the
charger off when the battery
is fully charged.
Caution: Never use a
15-minute timed charger
to recharge your model’s
battery packs. Overcharging
may result, causing damage
to the battery packs.
