HOTA T8 DC 650W 22A 1–8S LiPo Smart Charger

The HOTA T8 is a high-power, DC-only smart charger tailored for heavy-duty FPV and large-scale drone pilots who need rapid field charging. Pushing up to 650W and 22A, this compact unit efficiently manages large-capacity packs, from standard 4S and 6S freestyle setups up to massive 8S X-Class or cinelifter batteries.

Key features

• High-efficiency charging up to 650W and 22.0A via a wide 10–34V DC input range.

• Broad chemistry support including up to 8S LiPo, Li-ion, and LiHV, plus legacy NiMH packs.

• Robust 1.5A per-cell balance current keeps multi-cell packs healthy and drastically reduces overall charge times.

• Built-in battery checker and standalone balancer functions for quick field diagnostics without initiating a full charge cycle.
