Lead Acid battery and EZ Peak Dual Live Charger

[Manchild288]

Is it possible to charge a lead acid batter with my EZ Peak Dual Live charger? I don't use the charger for anything, and I'd like to put it to use. Also, it would be nice not to purchase another charger for my daughters ride on electric Jeep.

No sorry. For a lead acid battery charger look at your local car parts store. They will have fast chargers and maintenance storage chargers and some that do both, some that are automatic. I haven't bought one in a while. They are probably all automatic now.

You wont need a big one for a ride on car battery.

What you need used to be $9.
That wont buy a pack of gum now.

you can use that charger .set it to 3 cell lipo no balance wire connected. 2.5 amps let it run .it will take the car battery to 12.6 volts not the 14.4 that should start a car then the alternator can take car battery up to correct voltage.

Modern Traxxas chargers only support NiMH and LiPo batteries. Most other LiPo chargers (except for the ones with no screen) support lead acid.

This is a small battery for an electric car children ride around in. There is no engine.

I might suggest doing something like that in an emergency. Not in this case.

I ordered a smart charger for it. $36. I’ll leave the RC chargers for my lipos. Thanks for the input

Righteous, I love gum. I ran to 12 volt batteries in parallel. Works great and the smart charger is solid.
