Powerful 280W desktop charging station with six USB ports can be pre-ordered at 49% discount

AOHi has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new charging solution, namely the AOHi Future AI 280W GaN+ Desktop Charger. Supporters who decide to purchase the base deal for $139 will save 44% off the retail price of $249. Those who opt for two chargers can save up to 49%. Shipping is expected to begin worldwide in February 2026. The campaign has already exceeded its target of just $5,000 by more than fourfold after only a short time.

The AOHi 280W GaN+ Desktop Charger is a desktop charging station that can power a variety of devices. Visually, it strongly resembles well-known alternatives from Anker and EcoFlow. With a power output of up to 280 W, this new model falls squarely between them. Power is provided via a total of six ports, specifically four USB-C and two USB-A ports. Up to 240 W can be delivered via a single USB-C port, allowing even powerful devices such as notebooks and the like to be charged very quickly.

Furthermore, power is channeled via a smart and efficient GaN+ chip, which intelligently controls the charging processes depending on the connected devices. The LC display on the front of the device shows how many watts are currently flowing through each port. The time can also be displayed. In addition, the AOHi 280W GaN+ Desktop Charger can be controlled and managed via an app.

As always, crowdfunding campaigns come with certain risks, including the possibility that the product may not make it to market or may not function as advertised.
