Questions & Answers
I have a 11.1v battery, will it charge it?
Yes, to confirm voltage compatibility refer to our voltage range chart and verify that voltage for the battery chemistry is supported. If you have a LiPo 11.1V battery then you can use this balance charger. We also suggest comparing the connector on the battery pack is one of the included connector on the multi-harness.
Can it be hooked up to a car battery so you can charge when you're out flying?
Yes you can use the included alligator clips as the input source to recharge your battery packs with a car battery while out doors.
Does this charger come with the adapter for Traxxas plug?
No, the octopus harness no longer includes a Traxxis plug. You can purchase it separately and attach it with the bare leads or buy one with banana plugs to use with the TB6B.
