The HOTA P6 (2x300W DC) is a compact two-channel charger for small FPV drones that works from DC only. HOTA is a charger brand for RC and FPV batteries with the D6 Pro, P6 and F6 series. At 292 g and 111 × 70 × 45 mm the P6 fits in a field bag.
Two channels of 300 W each give 600 W maximum power, but only at an input voltage of at least 24 V; in synchronous operation of both channels it is 500 W at 22 A. At most 15 A flows per channel. The unit charges 1S to 6S and supports LiPo, LiIon, LiFe, LiHV, NiCd, NiMH, NiZn and lead-acid. The input accepts DC 10.5 to 30 V; there is no mains connection. With two batteries the power is shared between the channels.
Without a mains input the P6 needs a DC source: a power supply, a vehicle battery or a generator with a DC output. At 500 W and 24 V a good 20 A flows at the input, and the supply lead must carry that. Lithium batteries are charged only according to the manufacturer's instructions, under supervision and on a non-flammable surface, ideally in a charging bag. Anyone charging LiHV chooses the LiHV mode deliberately, because the end-of-charge voltage there is 4.35 instead of 4.2 V per cell.
When choosing, the voltage of the source matters: on a 12 V battery the power stays below the 2 × 300 W, and only from 24 V is it available. 100 Wh of pack energy charges in 12 minutes by calculation at 500 W, plus balancing. For 1S to 6S the P6 suits usual FPV packs; larger cell counts need a different unit. The ventilation openings of the small housing must stay clear.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
