The Gens Ace iMars S100 is a compact 100W AC balance charger built around G-Tech, Gens Ace's smart-battery system. Plug a G-Tech pack into the balance port and the charger reads its chemistry, cell count and recommended charge rate from the pack and sets itself up – no menus, no wrong-setting risk. It also logs each pack's charge history so you can see how a battery is ageing. Non-G-Tech packs with a standard JST-XH balance lead charge in the normal way through the same port, with manual settings.

The S100 replaces the iMars Pro III and keeps the things that made that charger popular: 100–240V input so it runs straight off the wall with no separate power supply, up to 10A charge current, LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFe and NiMH support, and a built-in stand that angles the screen towards you on the pit table. The touch panel has been swapped for three proper mechanical buttons, and a 5V 2.4A USB port on the side keeps a phone or transmitter topped up while you charge. At 140 x 83 x 40mm it takes up less room in the flight box than most 2200mAh packs.
