The Gens Ace iMars S100 G-Tech multi chemistry charger is ideal for those looking for a compact and versatile charging solution at the track or field. The new S100 marks a step forward in Gens Aces charger design featuring improvements that enhance the user experience thanks to G-Tech technology.
When it comes to charging the S100 packs a punch providing adjustable charge rate of up to 10A with 100W of power for faster charging. Being a multi chemistry charger is has the flexibility of balance charging 4S-18S NiMH cells or 2S-6S Lithium batteries (including LiPo/Li-Ion/LiFe/LiHV) which means whatever power source your hobby needs Gens Ace has you covered. If you are planning on leaving your batteries for a period of time it is best practice to store them with a level of charge in, this is easily done by selecting the 'Storage' function within the menu. The iMars S100 will then charger or discharge (depending on the condition of the battery) to a voltage that ensures your batteries will be in peak condition next time you go to use them. The charger is also able to discharge batteries of various chemistry types, the discharge rate can be adjusted to a maximum of 0.4A. The S100 has one final setting available called DigitalPower that when selected allows the charger to be the equivalent of an adjustable power supply meaning you can use the charger to power items such as soldering iron or tyre warmers!
When the Gens Ace G-Tech battery is connected to the iMars S100 charger, the charger will automatically identify the battery type through the G-Tech Smart balance connector. The number of cells will be detected and the default charging current recommended by the battery manufacturer will be set. With all this data fed back to the charger it commences charging with these recommended settings ensuring the safe and efficient charging of the G-Tech battery. The iMars S100 is also fully capable of charging non G-Tech cells too thanks to the unique design of the G-Tech balance lead! You can connect a standard balance lead to the S100's balance port, however it is necessary to manually select the battery type and the required working mode to get it started. The charger can intelligently detect the cell count of the battery pack, and combined with the correctly selected battery technology will intelligently set the appropriate charge rate for the battery pack connected.
All the information is displayed via the 1.5inch TFT screen that is clear and concise for ease of reading whatever the light conditions. The user interface is intuitive and simple to navigate which can be done with the new mechanical buttons that offer positive feedback when used compared to the predecessor.
