power & the 5720

Hi all

Just purchased one of these ipaqs and it works well with memory map & tracks really good.

But battery life is really low for walking, just like my 2210 was but with the 2210 I could charge batterys in the craddle and always carry a couple of spares with at least one on charge at camp.

Now with the 5720 I can get std batterys and high capacity ones are available soon but at the moment I have no means of charging them external to the device, which is a real problem for me.

HPs technical help was as much use as a bucket with a hole in the bottom & no handle, they were clueless & advised a part that turns out to be just a desktop craddle.

Has anyone any ideas or sources of charging my batteries external ?

thanks Roy
