iMars Mini G-Tech 60W USB-C Charger Black – Gens Ace

Gens Ace iMars Mini smart charger from the G-Tech line: 60 W of charging power in a body weighing about 64 g, powered via USB-C. It automatically recognises Gens Ace G-Tech batteries and starts charging on its own, while with conventional LiPo, LiHV, LiFe and NiMH batteries you select the battery type and mode: a compact charger for airsoft, RC models and FPV drones, at home and in the field.

Operation

With a G-Tech battery you simply plug it in: the charger reads the type, voltage and manufacturer-recommended charging current and starts without pressing any button. With other batteries you set the type and mode, and the current is adjusted to the charging voltage. The storage function brings both fully charged and nearly flat batteries to storage voltage, the right choice when they sit unused between games.

Compatibility

The XT60 output and the two adapters included cover batteries with Deans (T) and EC3 connectors; batteries with Tamiya or Mini Tamiya connectors need a separate adapter. To use the full power you need a USB-C power adapter that supports the protocols listed.

In the field

It weighs about as much as a small smartphone and runs from a USB-C power adapter, so it fits in a field bag and lets you charge or store your batteries well away from the workbench.

Warning: always select the correct battery type and cell count; incorrect settings can cause irreversible damage to the battery or charger and create a fire risk.
