Charging Tips
• The charger MUST be connected to USB-C power BEFORE
connecting the battery. If the battery is connected before
connecting to USB-C power, the charger will show an error (red
LED flashes 6 times and repeats). To correct, unplug the battery
and the charger. Plug in the charger to USB-C power, and then
connect the battery to be charged.
• The charger requires 10W or greater output from the USB-C
power source to operate.
• The charge output current varies depending on the available
power from the USB-C power source. To ensure the maximum
charge rate, use a USB-C power source rated at 45 watts (capable
of 2.25 amps at 20 volts) and compatible with Quick Charge 3.0
(QC 3.0) or greater standard input voltage. Traxxas USB-C AC Power
Adapter (part #2912) and Power Cable (part #2916) are designed
to deliver the full charge output from the charger.
Note: It is normal for the charger to become warm while
charging at the maximum charge rate. If the charger is not in a
cool, well-ventilated area, the charge rate will be automatically
reduced to prevent the charger from overheating.
