Gens Ace IMARS Mini G-Tech 60W RC Battery Charger

The Gens ace iMars Mini G-Tech 60W RC Battery Charger is a portable smart charger designed for users who need a compact solution for charging and maintaining RC batteries. Its USB-C input accepts compatible power sources within a 5V–20V range, while its 60W maximum charging power supports a range of small and medium RC battery packs.

The charger supports 2S–4S LiPo, LiHV, and LiFe batteries, along with 2S–12S NiMH batteries. Its G-Tech smart battery recognition system identifies supported battery information and recommends charging parameters through the smart balance connector. For non-smart batteries, users can manually select the battery type and operating mode. The charger automatically adjusts charging current according to the battery and operating conditions, up to 5A.

Features

• 60W charging power: Delivers up to 60W for compatible RC battery packs.

• Automatic current adjustment: Adjusts charging current from 1A to 5A according to battery requirements and operating conditions.

• G-Tech smart battery recognition: Reads supported battery information through the smart balance connection to simplify setup.

• Multi-chemistry support: Compatible with LiPo, LiHV, LiFe, and NiMH batteries within specified cell-count limits.

• USB-C input: Supports compatible USB-C power sources, including supported PD and QC power adapters.

• Balanced charging: Supports balancing of compatible lithium battery cells, with a published balance current of 0.4A per cell.

• Automatic storage function: Provides a storage mode to help prepare compatible batteries for storage.

• Compact and lightweight design: Measures 85 × 55 × 21mm and weighs approximately 64g.

• XT60 output: Provides an XT60 connection for compatible battery charging setups.

• Voltage monitoring and alarms: Includes an abnormal battery-voltage alarm to help identify potential charging issues.

Applications

• FPV drone battery charging

• RC cars, trucks, and buggies

• RC aircraft and model helicopters

• Compatible LiPo, LiHV, and LiFe battery maintenance

• Supported NiMH battery charging

• Portable RC hobby and electronics workbenches

How to Use

1. Connect a compatible USB-C power adapter or power source that meets the charger's input requirements.

2. Connect the battery using the appropriate XT60 output connection and matching balance connector, where required.

3. For a G-Tech smart battery, allow the charger to identify the supported battery information automatically.

4. For a non-smart battery, manually select the correct battery chemistry and charging mode.

5. Check the battery's cell count and charging requirements before starting.

6. Monitor the charging process and disconnect the battery when charging is complete.

Important Notes

• The charger supports 2S–4S LiPo, LiHV, and LiFe batteries; do not assume it supports 1S lithium batteries.

• Use a compatible USB-C power adapter. A basic 5V/1A adapter is not supported.

• Maximum charging power depends on the input adapter's voltage, current capability, and supported power-delivery protocol.

• The charging current is automatically adjusted; it is not a freely selectable manual current setting.

• Confirm the correct battery chemistry and cell count before charging non-smart batteries.

• Use the correct balance connection for compatible lithium packs.

• Never leave a battery charging unattended. Charge in a ventilated area on a non-flammable surface, away from heat and combustible materials.

• Power adapter, USB-C cable, and connector adapters may vary by package version. Confirm the contents of the specific listing before purchase.
