You’ll receive the charging station, instruction manual, USB-C power cable, and AC wall adapter. On the front it has a touchscreen LCD on the front, AA and AAA battery dispensing drawers, and discard drawer for defective or incompatible batteries. At the back is the USB-C power port. On the right-hand side is a fold down charging stand with two magnetic MCC ports for charging Olight flashlights. On top of the unit there are two doors for AAA and AA batteries respectively. Each has two slots but it makes no difference which you use. When inserting batteries, its polarity doesn’t matter for orientation as long as it goes in horizontally. You can insert up to 12 batteries of each size in their respective queues. This device is able to charge any brand’s 1.2V NiMH rechargeable batteries and also charge 1.5V AA Li-ion batteries from Ecolast, Ostation’s private label batteries. You may hear a bit of clattering from the machine as batteries are picked up or deposited into the holding trays. If the battery can be charged, its stats appear on the LCD, including current charge level, battery type, and how long a battery has been charging. While charging times vary, fully depleted batteries can be charged in as little as 2.5 hours. Actual performance can be affected by variables like battery temperature, as the machine employs Intelligent Thermo-Adaptive Charging. There’s also 5 layers of protection to safeguard against overcharging, overcurrent, overheating, overvoltage, and short circuits. To the right of the screen, the upper icon indicates how many batteries were successfully charged in the current cycle and the lower one shows how many were discarded. From the menu you can dim the screen, turn the machine off, set it on a schedule, and connect it to your WiFi from remote monitoring with the Olight mobile app. The schedule toggle allows you to set an exclusion period when you don’t want the machine to operate, for example if you only want it to run during off-peak electric hours, or want to limit noise during the night. From the app you can update the device’s firmware and see the same stats as displayed on the device’s onboard LCD. If you place non-rechargeable batteries in, like alkaline, Zinc Chloride, or incompatible rechargeable batteries like Ni-Cd, this machine will not accept them and they’ll get deposited in the discard bin. The discard bin can hold up to 4 AA or 6 AAA batteries and if full, the machine will stop charging until it is emptied. You also don’t have to worry about loading in an odd number of batteries, as the machine is capable of charging just one of each battery type on its own. Just note that if you add additional batteries of that type, it won’t pick them up until the next charge cycle. You can also mix and match 1.5V Li-ion with Ni-MH as they will charge separately once loaded. However, the next cycle won’t begin until both of those batteries have been fully charged. Fully charged batteries are deposited into their respective storage areas, which can hold up to 12 batteries of each type. Keep in mind that the machine will stop charging batteries if the storage area for charged batteries is full, so be sure to remove batteries to continue charging more batteries. When the dispensing tray is opened, you can collect two batteries at a time. To retrieve the next two, simply close the drawer and open it again. Overall, the #ostation2pro makes charging and storing your re-usable batteries dead simple allowing you to keep your devices like smart locks, remote controls, and gaming gear powered and ready to go. Just load up any brand’s 1.2V Ni-MH re-chargeables or Olight’s Ecolast 1.5V Li-ion rechargeable and the machine will analyze, charge, and store them, so you'll always have a fresh set ready to go.
