HOTA F6 4x250W 15A 4 Channel Smart Balance Charger with Type-C for Lipo LiIon NiMH Battery
by HOta

The HOTA F6 4x250W 15A 4 Channel Smart Balance Charger is an advanced, high-power management station designed for drone pilots, RC hobbyists, and multi-battery field charging operations. Featuring a quad-channel independent output system, this DC-powered charger delivers up to 250W per channel (for a massive 1000W total output when input voltage exceeds 23V) with an adjustable charging current from 0.1A up to 15A per channel. For heavy-duty batteries, the F6 supports a unique combined charging mode, which bridges two separate outputs to supply up to 500W of charging power and up to 22A of current to a single massive battery pack.

Navigating tasks is simple thanks to its responsive speed shuttle key wheel and a vibrant 2.8-inch IPS color display that remains highly visible under direct outdoor sunlight. The HOTA F6 supports all common battery chemistries—including LiPo, LiHV, LiFe, Lilon, NiMH, NiCd, Lead-Acid (Pb), and Eneloop cells. It incorporates versatile discharge profiles, allowing for a standard 12W internal discharge per channel or a highly efficient 250W regenerative discharge mode per channel to quickly cycle or prep packs for storage. Beyond battery maintenance, the F6 functions as a multi-device field power hub. The front panel is equipped with a 5V/2.1A USB-A port and a powerful 45W Type-C Power Delivery (PD) interface capable of fast-charging laptops, tablets, and mobile devices trackside. It even integrates a dedicated hardware servo tester port capable of generating or reading PWM and PPM signals to verify RC receiver and servo functions on the fly.
