G-Tech Smart Li-Pol Battery 7.4V / 300 mAh, 35C (JST) – HPA

How to charge a Li-Po battery with a G-Tech Smart connector

A Li-Po battery with a G-Tech Smart connector can be charged in two ways. With a compatible G-Tech Smart charger, the battery parameters are recognised automatically. When using a conventional universal Li-Po charger, the correct battery type, number of cells and charging current must be set manually.

A) Charging with a G-Tech Smart charger (e.g. iMars mini / D300)

A G-Tech Smart charger automatically recognises the battery parameters using the integrated chip. There is therefore no need to manually set the battery type, number of cells or charging current.

1. Connect the main power connector: Connect the battery's black connector (JST-SYP) to the corresponding charger port. If necessary, use a compatible adapter supplied with the charger.
2. Connect the G-Tech Smart balance connector: Plug the black balance connector into the designated G-Tech port on the charger. The connector can only be inserted correctly in one orientation.
3. Wait for automatic detection: The charger reads the information stored in the battery chip and displays its parameters, such as LiPo, 2S, 300 mAh.
4. Start charging: The charger automatically sets the appropriate charging parameters. For a 300 mAh battery, a current of 0.3 A is typically used. Depending on the charger type, confirm the start of charging or the process may start automatically.
5. Wait for charging to finish: The charger indicates a full charge with an audible signal, indicator light or Full / Charge Done message. Then disconnect the battery.

B) Charging with a conventional universal Li-Po charger (e.g. SkyRC iMax B6)

A conventional Li-Po charger cannot read data from the G-Tech Smart chip. You must ..
