4pksr charging
 
How do I charge my 4pksr ??


Should I use the wall charger it comes with or use my traxxas ez peak charger?

And when do I know when the battery in my remote needs to be charged ?

You would be better off by removing the battery from the radio and charge it directly with an Rc charger. I think it's too risky to charge with the wall charger, as it energizes the radios circuit board. Also, if your charging with lesser than clean power, your taking a risk that isn't needed. Plus the wall charger charges at such a slow rate that it's not feasible. Just by .02

I always charge mine with the included wall charger and it has worked fine. It does take a long time so you have to plan ahead. The first charge can take two full days. According to the owner's manual it has overcharge protection so you can't over charge your battery. Each race day that you use your controller will require a full overnight charge to bring the battery level back up to a full charge for the next time.
