Default Charging multiple PDA's

I have to manage a collection of 50 XDA IIs and wondered if anyone had found a charger capable of charging several batteries simultaneously rather than using the individual docking stations?

Thanks. Mark

Welcome to our forums.
If my memory serves me correctly the XDAIIs cradle has a battery slot as well meaning you would only need 25 cradles/chargers to charge 25 PDAs and 25 batteries which at least halves the management. Not sure of any other solutions.

That's absolutely right but still leaves me needing 25 sockets and/or extension leads! Thanks for the reply.

Hi Markt,
You'll obviously need 50 of 'something or other'.
Have you thought about the USB data / charger cables? You will obviously need a few USB hubs to do this.
Seems the neatest solution, as I can't find multiple battery chargers on the Net.

USB charging is fine, but most powered hubs would only be able to deal with 3 or 4 at most before you overload the PSU and kill the hub.
