The iMars D300 AC/DC multi chemistry dual output charger is a compact yet powerful charging solution for anyone looking to charge 2 batteries simultaneously. Designed with G-Tech technology it enhances the users experience when using the G-Tech ecosphere of products allowing for charging simplicity and improved safety.

As a multi chemistry charger it gives you the flexibility to charge/balance charge 1S-6S/2S-6S lithium batteries (LiPo, Li-Ion, LiFe and LiHV) and 1S-16S NiMH meaning whatever your fly, sail, race or bash the D300 can ensure your charged and ready to go. With two individual channels you can independently charge/balance charge at a rate of up to 16A per channel with a maximum of 300W of power on AC or 350W of power on DC dependent on the power input. Beyond charging the D300 has an impressive level of extra functionality such as Discharge, Storage, DigitalPower, ExtDischarge and SyncCharging offering more versatility out of this small charging package. The Discharge function allows you to discharge batteries of multi chemistry types at variable rate of up to 3A per channel. 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 D300 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.
