Ostation Evolves Into a Standalone Smart Battery Charging Brand Within Olight Group
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2025 — Olight Group today announced a strategic evolution of its innovative Ostation line of battery charging solutions. To accelerate its growth, Ostation has been launched as a dedicated, independently operated brand within the group. This new structure gives Ostation the focused leadership and agility needed to help lead the future of intelligent, sustainable household energy solutions.
Launched in 2021 as a dedicated battery charging product line under the Olight brand, Ostation was created to explore smarter energy management at home. Guided by its brand vision, “Powering a Sustainable Future,” Ostation focuses on intelligent battery chargers and rechargeable batteries designed for daily use. Its first flagship product, Ostation X, quickly validated market demand. In 2024, the product debuted on Kickstarter, earning support from 5,845 backers and raising US$1,142,494. That same year, Ostation X received a CES 2025 Innovation Award and the iF Design Award 2025, highlighting its breakthrough in intelligent battery charging and user-centric design.
Building on early success and incorporating extensive user feedback, Ostation returned to Kickstarter in 2025 with an expanded product lineup. The campaign attracted 12,605 supporters, raising US$2,300,699 across 11 countries. Among the standout products was the Ecolast 1.5V AA Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, later named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree. Meanwhile, the flagship Ostation 2 Pro was recognized with the IFA Innovation Awards 2025, further cementing Ostation's leadership in sustainable battery innovation through this dual international acclaim.
Ostation’s launch as an independent brand underscores its ambition to accelerate growth and deepen its commitment to a sustainability-driven mission. This new structure will allow it to move faster and specialize further in smart battery charging solutions.
“If we can’t eliminate disposable batteries, let’s make charging simple, so more people choose rechargeable ones, reducing waste and environmental impact,” said Nelson Yuan, the founder of Ostation. “From the very beginning, our goal has been to rethink how everyday power works, making it smarter, more efficient, and in harmony with the natural ecosystem. This independence allows us the freedom to focus fully on this mission, with a deep commitment to creating smarter, more sustainable energy solutions for the future."
Under its new brand structure, Ostation will now operate its own Amazon storefront and direct-to-consumer channels. Olight will remain a strategic partner and authorized distributor, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and supporting Ostation’s journey as an independent, forward-focused brand.
