pack is rectangular, blocky, and has
square corners. LiPo batteries also
have balance connectors. For older Traxxas batteries
with first generation High-Current Connectors, the
balance connector and the multi-colored balance

balance wires are integrated into the iD High-Current

Know your Batteries
The EZ-Peak Live Dual is able to charge two different types (chemistries) of batteries: NiMH and LiPo.
Batteries are normally clearly labeled, but they can also be visually identified as a confirmation step.

Connector with iD
NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride)
batteries are constructed using
5, 6, 7, or 8 round battery cells
that are soldered together and
