Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the endless clutter of battery chargers, tangled cables, and disorganized piles of AA and AAA batteries? The search for a fresh, charged battery often feels like a frustrating game of chance, leaving you wondering if a cell is dead, half full, or ready to use. What if you could have a single, intelligent hub that not only charges your batteries but also organizes them, checks their health, and even powers your other devices? Olight, a brand renowned for its high performance flashlights, is back on Kickstarter with the Olight Ostation 2: Next Gen of Personal Smart Battery Hub.


Project Overview

  • Name and Creator: Olight Ostation 2: Next Gen of Personal Smart Battery Hub by Olight World.

  • What It Is: The Olight Ostation 2 is an innovative smart hub that charges, tests, and organizes AA and AAA batteries. It is compatible with both AA/AAA Ni-MH and Olight's 1.5V smart Li-ion batteries. The Pro version features a built in touchscreen and magnetic charging ports for Olight flashlights, making it a comprehensive power solution for the home.


Key Features

  • 3-in-1 Power Hub: The Ostation 2 seamlessly combines three functions into one compact device: a charger, a battery health tester, and an organizer. It charges batteries, automatically checks their condition, and sorts them into dedicated compartments for healthy and invalid cells.

  • Polarity Free Drop In Charging: This device simplifies the charging process by eliminating the need to check battery orientation. You can simply drop the batteries into their designated slots and the smart system handles the rest.

  • Battery Health Check System: The Ostation 2 features a per cell battery health system. It automatically tests each battery for internal resistance and performance, rejecting unhealthy cells into a separate bin to prevent damage to your electronics.

  • Olight 1.5V Smart Li-ion Battery Compatibility: To unlock the full potential of the Ostation 2, the system works with Olight's 1.5V smart Li-ion batteries, which contain an ID chip that allows for real time tracking of health, charge status, and cycle count. The hub also charges all major brands of AA and AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

  • Built-in Touchscreen (Pro version): The Ostation 2 Pro includes a color touchscreen that provides instant access to all key information. You can check the charging status, battery health, and error alerts directly on the device.

  • Magnetic Charging Ports (Pro version): The Pro version comes with two magnetic charging ports on the side. These are compatible with a range of Olight's popular flashlights, allowing you to charge your everyday carry gear alongside your batteries.

  • Smart Storage and Organization: The device includes dedicated compartments that can store up to 12 AA and 12 AAA batteries, keeping your space clean and organized.

  • Fast Charging: The Ostation 2 delivers optimized current to each battery type, charging them faster than many traditional chargers. It can fully recharge two AA and two AAA batteries in just two to two and a half hours.

  • Compact and Efficient Design: The new design is 25 percent smaller than previous Ostation models, making it a perfect fit for any desk or shelf.

The Idea

  • Concept: The core idea behind the Ostation 2 is to move beyond simple battery charging and create a complete, intelligent battery management system for the modern home. Olight aims to simplify and declutter the charging process by creating a hub that not only powers up your devices but also ensures your batteries are healthy, organized, and ready for use.

  • Inspiration: Building on the success of their original Ostation X campaign, which was funded by over 5,800 backers, Olight drew inspiration from real user feedback to develop the Ostation 2. They recognized the need for a more compact design, a user friendly touchscreen, and the ability to charge their popular magnetic charging products. Their mission is to power a smarter and more sustainable future by making rechargeable batteries effortless and reliable, thereby reducing e-waste and enhancing the everyday lives of their customers.
