The Olight Ostation 2 Series is presented as a next-generation personal smart battery hub, designed for convenient and intelligent management of AA and AAA batteries. It aims to simplify battery usage for a wide range of devices, from toys and remotes to gaming controllers and more.
Here's a look at the key features:
Smart charging and detection
- Polarity-free charging: Users can simply drop batteries in, regardless of polarity, and the Ostation 2 will automatically detect and charge them optimally.

- Dual-size charging: The Ostation 2 has separate channels, allowing for simultaneous charging of 2x AA and 2x AAA batteries.
Per-cell battery health management (with Olight smart Li-ion batteries)
- Smart chip technology: When used with Olight's 1.5V Li-ion batteries, each battery's built-in smart chip enables real-time, per-cell monitoring.
- Detailed information: Users can track battery health, charging status, and cycle count for each individual battery through the Olight app or, on the Pro version, via a built-in touch display.
- Automatic sorting: The system automatically detects and sorts unhealthy or invalid batteries into a designated discard compartment.
All-in-one functionality
- Charging, testing, and organizing: The Ostation 2 combines intelligent charging, automatic battery testing, and organized storage in a single device.
