8s lipo help battery will not charge

[@dennismiller8808]

I left mine plugged in last night (XRT/max6g2/6700 4s) A cell dropped to 2.8 and my ezpeak dual live charger light indicated voltage to low like yours. 7 seconds on my 12v 2a trickle charger w/ some wire leads I made to slide in got me going again! I appreciate your upload!

[@isaiahforward2864]

Bro, thank you it works for me and I am just really happy Cuz. I did not want to spend that much money on a new battery.

[@tedwhitehead8098]

Jon Snow and his Dire Wolf Ghost❤️ Thanks for the video

[@willdoe3984]

Hey buddie I just got my xmaxx and same problem! I want to thank you for the vid. You be safe and good racing and God bless

[@denney19]

Same thing happened to my x maxx last week left them plugged in and I think on but I can’t see myself doing that but sent them in and I think TRAXXAS is going to “repair” them

[@Mustafadroid]

Hell fucking yea bro thank you for your video I just got my battery working wtf. It first I was like hell no the shit ain't going to work but it fucking did. Great video man thanks alot.

[@dillonsahadeo520]

Would this work for a 3000mah battery?

[@rigosanchez4742]

Just tryed it and yes it picks up my battery now but wont charger it! Keeps blinkong on the 4amp light? Help!!

[@Skiller7777]

call traxxas if the battery is less than a year old they replace it.

[@farleya3442]

Hey man, love the video.. but it wont work with mine. First 3 cells is at 3.9 and cell 4 is at 0.3 and will not go up even if I left it for 5 minutes.. what do I do now.. help

[@fullysuited]

Charge it in balance mode

[@dinomujkovic2534]

Hello :) Can you help me? I have the same problem with traxxas 3s 5000mah 25c it wont charge my battery......

[@garbage3227]

Dino Mujkovic did u find your problom

[@bottomfeederstv7839]

I got three batteries I need help with

[@samuelyearwood4073]

I new battery or charger

[@dr.kurtkennedy465]

My battery will not change

[@MrAdammx93]

Massive shout out to this dude I had 2 brand new 3s traxxas lipos that had 0.00v in each sell I did this and it’s brought them back to life! Thankyou so much mate

[@peterklassen9174]

You can also charge on NiMh for about 20 seconds. I’ve done that with these traxxas ID 4s batteries 3 times already and it works great.

[@jack95670]

How do you do that I've been trying to get it to switch over with no luck

[@samrowlands2392]

How

[@samrowlands2392]

Do you change the mode

[@fullysuited]

Stop the 🧢

[@JoeGiz64]

@@jack95670 I tried changing mode too with the 6700 batteries. No luck. Maybe because of the ID connectors? Wonder if Traxxas would do a battery swap? I only ran my Xmaxx a few times and didnt realize leaving the batteries in the rig would drain them to the point of the charger not recognizing them.

[@johnmccann9604]

Thanks I appreciate it! Used my car charger set it on the lowest 12v setting and did the 5 second charge. Went back the the Traxxas charger and ta da...its charging now!

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Just put the charger in storage mode and run it for a lil but then your all good to go You will live longer this way, 👍

[@MyDyingBride11111]

my charger will charge it for 4 sec then just turn off tried all 3 options

[@dontaviousscoliosis9391]

This comment so old 😂

[@swooptorres1998]

Where did you get the trickle charger from? I'd really appreciate all the help and let me know what brand the charger is Teddy.

[@flyingsteve2961]

Bro, I just recieved two LIPO 6700 batteries and one would not charge. It is Christmas Eve and they were in the mailbox all day until I got home figured it was a low voltage issue. I got my trickle charger out and followed what you said, worked perfect...thanks brother.

[@theweirdestfamily]

Dude thank you for saving my traxxas batteries your the shit. Does that work with adapters on smart lipo chargers????

[@adampickett9417]

Thanks man!! Greatly appreciate this video. I plugged my xmaxx batteries in and thought I was screwed. Seen your video and changed everything. Batteries currently charging. Life saver. God bless man!

[@G-J-92]

Did this with a traxxas nimh charger, plugged into the lipo for 5 mins, then plugged the lipo into the ez fast charger and boom its charging it again. Hope i didnt just destroy it for good 😮‍💨

[@louismays7810]

My 7.4 5200 mah lipo batteries wouldn't charge. What helped me was buying a better quality charger

[@adrian.lifts_06]

Damn thank you, you are so smart I was about ready to trash them.😉👍

[@plymouth1965]

Thank you, I almost disposed of mine.

[@RodneyTDavis]

Thanks brother. Appreciate this tip. It worked as well. Thank you Thank you

[@oneyouh8]

I’ll be damned….it worked. Thanks for posting!

[@Luke-sq6xo]

Right on! I never comment on videos but this guy was straightforward, both brutally and hilariously honest, and talked with enthusiasm, because I honesty feel like he's a good guy.

[@ThatsToughTV]

Shot. Seem like a cool neighbor to have. Being into the same hobbies as well.

[@ricramirez110788]

Will the other battery being connected in the car jump start the dead one?! If I run 2 batteries

[@iraholston3853]

How do I go about sending traxxas their battery back and replacing it?

[@levimurcer9520]

It’s even worse that it works lol be safe if you can’t buy a beer the. Ask for help

[@johnphan4408]

Works perfectly. Thanks for your help. I just save a lot of money thanks to your video.👍👍👍👍👍

[@yousof6786]

Nice vid man. That is definitely one of the most best collections I’ve seen.

[@rafeeeskandarian3922]

Thanks man, that simple trick did the job. I’m up and running 👌👌👌

[@QuintinVR]

Thank you so much btw it actually works❤

[@stephenlane5896]

Nice way to improvise 💯💪🏽

[@Tacoman46]

Thanks man just saved my batteries

[@jefferywheeler6985]

Wow, you're amazing I am so glad I found your you tub video. I left my Traxxas 5000 lipo plug in my unlimited Desert racer and went to plug them into the charger and they were dead, the charger would not recognize them. So after viewing your video I went to get garage and got my auto charger and put it on 2 amps put 2 Allen ranch into the battery and red to red and back to back and count to ten. They I when and plug them into the Traxxas charger and the both are now recognized and when through a full charge.... Thanks you save me 250.00.

[@ballatician06]

First step Always do this indoor 😅

[@Tapia-live]

Dogg? That beast looks like a bear 🧸

[@kazperfriispetersen7391]

Only with a 12v car charger?

[@ronp3570]

thank you so much it worked

[@devinmcguire3578]

Thank you man, same thing happened to me with my battery looked up multiple videos no luck. Then i found your video gave it a shot and it worked beautifully. Once again thank you and this works 100%.

[@serajk1727]

Whats happening is 1 of the cells has gone under 3.2v. Charging in nimh mode doesn't have the safety checks like lipo mode and just brings that cell over 3.2v so lipo charger can now see that cell and charge it

[@scalemodeler752]

I had the same problem also, but you beter buy a "Plus Power 80 charger" for about 40 dollars With this charger you can charge all kinds of batterys on a SAFE way!

[@shooterboyroy3690]

Call traxxas they might take care of you, im waiting on a response myself had my battery for only 1yr and it's crapping out on me

[@michaelchang1982]

Thanks for the helpful video. My Traxxas 4 amp 6-cell/7-cell NiMH charger now recognizes my 8.4v NiMH 3000MAH iD Power Cell battery.

[@1998gst4611]

Michael Shawley could you run by me on that again so the unit that you hook the lipo to is that another charger from an auto parts store, what kind of charger do i need to buy and by doing this you are resetting the charging memory on the lipo? I have the same traxxas lipos and charger as you in the video for my Xmaxx. As soon as i plug in any of the lipos it would show battery chemistry error on charger status then on charge info on one of the lipos would show cell 1 voltage: 0.0v, cell 2 voltage: 0.0v, cell 3 voltage: 3.9V, and cell 4 voltage: 3.8v. The second lipo pack i hooked up is about close to the same as well. I ran them on full charge in the truck a month ago and let it sit in the truck since then. The lipos are not that old probably about 10 full runs on them. Let me know what you think i hate to blow money on a new set of lipo 4s packs and they're not cheap. Also when you stick that allen key into one end of that lipo connector how about wrapping electrical tape around it to be safe, what you're doing is dangerous being too close between the negative and positive ports like that, thats crazy what you did there i don't care how careful you are anything could happen, you could slip and cross contact the polarity.

[@robluse9226]

Your video saved my Lipo battery thanks. I had to trickle charge up to 9v before my charger would recognize it, but it saved it

[@almondjoy0921]

Great video, I used my battery tender for my motorcycle and followed your instructions to the point. My Traxxas 6700mah batteries are now charging, YEAHHHHH!!!!!!

[@commonsense411]

I did something similar to this. Used a 5v 2amp wall charger. Saved my brand new losi rock rey battery that I only had for a week. When I did this I had a multimeter connected to the battery to monitor voltage.

[@Not_Mas._.i]

Glad this vid ran to my feed... thanks!

[@GrimmsAutoService]

Thanks for the tip I think it saved my battery... I'm new to RC I won the snap on tool truck and didn't know I had to put the batteries in storage. prob should read owners manual

[@davidvasquez8426]

Would it work if I don’t have no voltage?

[@davidvasquez8426]

I have the same batteries and left them n my truck for month. It shows no voltage on them. Would this work on them???? Please let me know

[@opensageoutdoors374]

Just wondering why you just didn't buy a male end to the plug instead of using Allen wrenches?

[@double2706]

I had the same problem with my X-MAXX. It always runs the batteries down lower than the cut off. So I bought a different charger and did trickle charge on it. Thanks for the video. I made my own connectors though. You made me very nervous for a few mins there. Again thanks for the idea to do this

[@curtisspringer8880]

Completed this now I receive a Battery chemistry error on the Traxxas EZ peak charger

[@MrGdupfromthefeetup]

Great vid man saved my battery. I made the same stupid mistake but luckily I had a motorcycle charger and it worked perfectly

[@1998gst4611]

Michael Shawley you there? please answer i sent you a comment 5 months ago haven't heard an answered back thanks

[@juanmanuelfregoso8403]

Thank you very much. That is exactly what happened to me. and i was able to fix it

[@keithfaucette2883]

I’m glad I watched your video if not I would’ve thought a way two good batteries 👍

[@TheDotransporter]

Great Video, I'm in this low point in my battery life that needs intervention.

[@bumflap1]

Thanks fella! Totally saved my "flat as a witches tit" battery. I gave mine a jolt from a car battery charger on trickle. Needed a couple of (4) restarts on peak plus but then charged all the way up on balance. Thanks again. Subscribed!

[@sabinoalejandro1319]

Sir mine has the voltage but says cell 1 and 2 r 0 and 3 and 4th cell read 3.8 any advice

[@fullysuited]

It just so happens I have all the tools he recommended in this video. Round of Applause to you Sir

[@haydencampbell826]

Thank you so much just got a snapon box xmaxx 8s and I thought both batteries were screwed! Helped a lot other then shocking myself lol, thanks again buds be safe god bless

[@jonknutson7670]

Do all this... or just set your charger to NIMH and charge it for a couple minutes then try the smart charge again.

[@Not_Mas._.i]

What trickle do you guys use? i used the tender jr and it won’t charge the other cells... any suggestions? thanks

[@ericdasmith7057]

Let drift then lol I can’t charge my transmitter lipo battery different but same problem I need some help

Is it safe to use my car battery? I don't have a charger like that

[@shancyroesner9212]

“Have a peak” 😂 I have this problem with my 2s

[@Dz-cx7ti]

LØx Shansway just do the same thing he did mine actually worked

[@dr.kurtkennedy465]

My battery will not change, Please help me, make it change

[@fullysuited]

I feel like I accomplished a major goal today

[@andrewhallis2271]

So my batteries were super drained and I followed your instruction. I had to leave mine on trickle charger for quite a bit as it was only showing 2 cells on the batteries. They are now charging on the ez peak charger! I used a $20 everlasting 1A battery charger and maintainer from Walmart with some taped alligator clips connected to the charger clamps.

[@fcost8604]

I bought this same charger at Walmart today. I’m finding it’s taking a lot longer. How long did you connect it for? I’m going on about a minute and only 3 of 4 cells are charging 0.0-2.1-1.7-1.4

[@michaeltorruiso5436]

It really worked!!! Thank you it saved me $100

[@alanc.8167]

Thanks for trying this and proving it can be done I'm new to the rc world (won a snap on traxxas xmaxx) Love it but didn't know I shouldn't leave the batteries in the truck when I'm done. Overdischarged and now won't charge I'm trying this with my trickle charger this weekend

[@Atomic_nosh9]

I don't fill saf Dewing that can I sindet to you ?

[@edwardlaniermonica]

Dude I just did this and you save my life! I'm so glad for your knowledge! Keep on keeping on ! Rc rocks!

[@edwardlaniermonica]

Update.. both batteries just burned up while on charger..

[@kendellmclaren1442]

What state are you in? I have that same problem and need assistance.

[@tylermcbride2807]

So the traxxas charger will balance it after boosting it

[@johncajson]

You can pull the wires out of the black clip to make it a lot easier

[@Dz-cx7ti]

I have a 2400 peak 2s and it actually works thank you

[@tobydyes]

all you have to do is push the connectors out of the plug
