Olight has unveiled the Ostation V8 (Pro), a dual-purpose device that combines an AA/AAA battery charger with a portable power bank, targeting everyday carry enthusiasts and flashlight users looking to consolidate essential power gear into a single, compact accessory.
The Olight Ostation V8 (Pro) is designed to charge AA and AAA batteries simultaneously while also functioning as a portable power bank for phones and small electronics via USB output.
While full specifications have not yet been disclosed, the “Pro” branding suggests increased capacity, faster charging speeds, or expanded output compared to the standard V8 model.
The device features a compact, travel-friendly form factor, multiple charging ports for improved efficiency, and LED indicators that display charging and battery status at a glance.
For users already invested in Olight’s flashlight ecosystem, many of whom rely on AA or AAA cells, the Ostation V8 (Pro) addresses two everyday needs: keeping rechargeable batteries topped up and providing emergency power for mobile devices.
The primary audience includes flashlight enthusiasts, EDC users, and outdoor hobbyists who regularly carry spare batteries.
The hybrid design is particularly useful for travel, camping, and emergency preparedness, where minimising gear weight and volume matters.
Instead of packing a dedicated charger and a separate power bank, users can rely on a single device to handle both tasks, reducing clutter while maintaining redundancy.
Battery chargers from brands like Nitecore and Fenix focus primarily on cell management, while the power bank market is dominated by companies such as Anker and Xiaomi.
Olight’s differentiation lies in combining both functions into one product, leveraging brand loyalty within its flashlight user base. Pricing is expected to fall in the $40–$70 range.
The Ostation V8 (Pro) is expected to launch in select markets in 2026, with pre-orders likely opening soon. Its appeal lies in practicality rather than novelty, making it best suited for Olight users and EDC enthusiasts seeking streamlined power solutions.
