HOTA T8 Ultra GaN Smart Charger 650W

The HOTA T8 Ultra is a GaN and SiC smart charger for pilots who need serious power in a compact case. It runs from either AC mains or a DC power supply and covers everything from single-cell whoop packs to 8S long-range and X-Class batteries on one channel.

Key features

• GaN/SiC power stage delivers up to 650W on DC input (0.1-22A) or 300W on AC, with automatic power distribution between the two.
• Wide DC input range of 7-35V at up to 27A for high-current field charging from a bench supply or generator.
• Supports LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFe and NiMH/NiCd chemistries from 1S up to 8S lithium packs.
