Thank you SOO much! This is the only video on UA-cam that I’ve been able to find that actually works! Plugged a dead battery into my Prophet Sport Mini for 2 minutes, and then back into my EZ Peak Charger and it worked.
I had the same problem with my battery did you want you did an now it's on the charger an charging.thank you so much keep the video coming . need people like you very happy 😁
Thank for your video. I didn’t have a extra charger so I hook up a couple wires to my car battery run my car for a while and it did the trick. It does work very easy to do.
I used a 2amp 12 volt car battery charger for 30 seconds to boost my dead batteries yes I left them plugged in to my Udr for week 3s 11.1v 500mah 30 seconds on car charger Then right onto the traxxas charger worked perfectly!!! Don’t try to over charge on the car charger as the plug was getting hot after 20 seconds
I am having this problem, i charged it on a NiMh charger for a little while, and it starts charging on my traxxas easy peak plus for a few minutes, but then it just begins displaying the low voltage error (red light flashing on 4A). Please help me and I would really appreciate it.
I’m trying to recharge my lancer tactical 1600mah rechargeable NiMH but the charger seems to stay red for like an hour now and it hasn’t changed color. what should I do? the battery looks okay it’s not heating up when I charge it it stays room temp so I’m not to sure what’s going on, please help me
Same happen to me I took a couple pieces of wire connect it to my car battery, turn on my car and run it for a while and it charge, then I connect back to charger and it works.
I too left my truck plugged in Resulting in two completely dead 5000mah batteries 0 volts A 2amp 12 volt charger for 30 seconds did the trick( plug was getting warm) Then onto my he traxxas charger Ta da. Charging normally again
Made my own crocadile clip to aligator clip and put it on a jumper it charged all cells up and got it to charge on my charger works perfectly now (edited cause i named them wrong my bad)
It’s traxxas batteries that an issue. I bought a different brand battery and I’ve gone up to 7 months with out using it and works perfectly fine. Been having for about 4 years now. For some reason it was discontinued so I can’t recommend it to my friends and family.
@@HappyDude1 I blew up the battery, guess I charged it too much? I kept trying it after 30 min but the Traxxas charger would not recognize. so I kept giving it 30 min charging off of another charger as a Nimh. Guess I screwed up? Just going to try a Non-Traxxas battery like others have suggested. I tried calling Traxxas, but Tech dept was very nasty and unhelpful, bad customer service. I won't be calling again
I''m done with traxxas lipo batteries ua-cam.com/video/Gou-ucP2c64/v-deo.html
It’s like the only video on UA-cam that actually helps you with this problem
Thank you My videos are to help people or to bring joy 😀
What did you used to do that? I’m dealing with the same thing with a brand new battery what’s the name of that tool?

No way! Thanks for the tip. Worked straight away. Remmebered i had an old battery that i replaced. Tried that with your method and charging. Thank you
@@samuellockett8535 happy to do so
Perfect explanation of something I have had to do in the past. Good video
I've used my drill battery to jump start for 2 min. All worked, cheers for tip man 🤙🤙
Carefull those are 18v nowadays
Thank for your video. I didn’t have a extra charger so I hook up a couple wires to my car battery run my car for a while and it did the trick. It does work very easy to do.
Haha yeah that will do the trick😅 i like the ingenuity
what type of wires? Im not tryna buy a whole new charger. I got a 1400mah if that matters
Thanks so much for sharing this!!! Just had this issue with battery I had left in my TRX-4.
@TheChonch
Yip same as me 😁 It's so easily forgotten
Hooked mine to the tractor battery for about 2-3 minutes, then put it back on the Traxxas charger. Worked great
That can work 😆
I think 30 seconds would also worked. But it can be dangerous if you cross the wires
Are you serious? I'd be afraid if it exploding in my face
@@upstatetyler2380
Nah its just like when you try to start a car. A battery will not just explode first you will see some smoke then fire
Nothing like that it work for me. All you want is the voltage to increase to where it can be seen by the charger. It’s not hard to do.
How long would you suggest to hook to the battery for?
2:07 does anyone know what this cable is called or where you can get it?
A rc store can always help you
I used a 2amp 12 volt car battery charger for 30 seconds to boost my dead batteries yes I left them plugged in to my Udr for week
3s 11.1v 500mah
30 seconds on car charger
Then right onto the traxxas charger worked perfectly!!!
Don’t try to over charge on the car charger as the plug was getting hot after 20 seconds
Do you have a link for that traxxas cord that fits the battery
I got this from my hobbyshop :)
whats the name of that adapter
Its Just a normal cheap charger for nimh battery
I am having this problem, i charged it on a NiMh charger for a little while, and it starts charging on my traxxas easy peak plus for a few minutes, but then it just begins displaying the low voltage error (red light flashing on 4A). Please help me and I would really appreciate it.
The battery is probably dead
How would this work with an 11.1v 1450MAH battery?
It works with everything
I’m trying to recharge my lancer tactical 1600mah rechargeable NiMH but the charger seems to stay red for like an hour now and it hasn’t changed color. what should I do? the battery looks okay it’s not heating up when I charge it it stays room temp so I’m not to sure what’s going on, please help me
Charge up another battery
If that works the charger is broken if not its the battery
I don’t have any other batteries with same plug
@@Tutel57 buy a adapter for your plugs like in my video
@@HappyDude1 what is part number for that adapter?
@patman6816
I dont know
I just went to a rc store to try
Will this work with a 2 or 3s lipo ??????????????
Yes yes 😊
i don't have that fast charger gadget is there another way to fix this problem?
you will need a charger
Same happen to me I took a couple pieces of wire connect it to my car battery, turn on my car and run it for a while and it charge, then I connect back to charger and it works.
Are you foreal? Your not afraid of it exploding?
He can't answer
He's dead 😅
@@HappyDude1 this just seems sketchy to me. I'd need to put a shield over my face and wear protective gloves🤣
Does any one know were to buy the black charger?
I used a old school car battery charger and it worked like a champ.
I too left my truck plugged in
Resulting in two completely dead 5000mah batteries 0 volts
A 2amp 12 volt charger for 30 seconds did the trick( plug was getting warm) Then onto my he traxxas charger
Ta da. Charging normally again
Can u drop a link to the quick charger
I bought it in my local hobby shop
What are the charger items called? The nihm charger block and the new cable called?
Just type in the names of your battery plug in google.
Like traxxas to tamiya plug adapter
Thank you 🙏🏼 got the same problem
Just jumped it off a 18v Makita drill battery , now it’s charging , thank you again 🙏🏼
Do you know why my lipo won't work in my car it's in low voltage, but I keep getting the red and green flashing light
give it a full charge
It is
@@overcomecross9843
Reset the ecu
Thank you, works for mee

I know traxxas battery sucks
Ok mate. You fucking rock! Thanks! I just fixed it with your tip.
@@jstathis2005
Rock on 🤘
Soemtimes putting the volts at the lowest setting brings them back but it takes a few hours for sure
@@Hungrybird474
When it's too low, it doesn't work anymore That's why I made this video
Thank you for helping me
Happy charging😁

@melvinjensen978
Ow dear That means your cells inside were dead
Hopefully no damage ??
THANK YOU
Put your balance checker on to monitor voltage
This helped for me but instead of a lipo it was a 7.2v power cell
helpful thanks
Just stay away from Traxxas.
And by the way read the instructions saying always disconnect the battery when you dont use it.
Whoa now
Instead of buying a second charger, why not just stop by a hobby shop and they can charge it up from their nimh charger? Let me try that 😂
Yes let us know 😁 i allready had different chargers laying around
My problem was I forgot to plug in the second cable 😅
