Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the Gens Ace iMars D1000 PLUS charge two different battery types simultaneously? — Yes, each channel operates independently, allowing you to charge two different battery packs with different cell counts, capacities, or even battery types (LiPo versus LiHV) at the same time, provided both fall within the supported 1–7 cell range.
- Is this charger suitable for beginners to RC hobbies? — Absolutely. The plug-and-play functionality with G-Tech smart batteries removes complexity for newcomers, whilst the comprehensive 8-level protection system ensures safe charging even if you're new to battery management. The intuitive Gens Ace app provides clear guidance throughout the charging process, making it an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
- What battery chemistries and cell counts does this charger support? — The D1000 PLUS supports both LiPo and LiHV (high-voltage) batteries in configurations from 1 cell through 7 cells, covering everything from small racing drones and airsoft batteries to large-scale RC trucks and crawler batteries.
- How long does it take to charge a typical RC battery? — Charging time depends on battery capacity and the charging current selected, but the high 25-amp maximum per channel means large capacity packs charge significantly faster than with standard retail chargers. For example, a 5000mAh 3S battery would charge in approximately 12 minutes at maximum current, though most users operate at slightly lower currents for battery longevity.
- Does this charger work without the Gens Ace app? — Yes, the charger features a physical IPS display screen and manual controls for standalone operation. However, the app provides superior convenience, real-time data viewing, and historical tracking that most users find invaluable for battery management and performance optimisation.
- What makes this different from the standard D1000 charger? — The D1000 PLUS builds upon the proven D1000 with the addition of Bluetooth connectivity, the Gens Ace app integration for remote control and data logging, and enhanced real-time monitoring capabilities, whilst retaining all the core G-Tech smart system features and protection systems.
- Is the charger waterproof or dustproof? — The charger is designed for indoor workshop use and not rated for outdoor or wet environments. Keep it away from moisture and protect it from dust, particularly the cooling vents and connector areas.
- What power supply do I need? — The charger includes a mains power cable and connects directly to standard UK AC 100–240 volt household electricity. No additional power supply is required.

- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
