Simultaneous charging of five terminals

The ShareCradle has five dedicated slots for Zebra TC201 terminals. Each device can be inserted into the cradle with the Rugged Boot installed, without removing the protective cover after each change.

This configuration contributes to:

• reducing the time required to hand over terminals;
• avoiding repeated assembly and disassembly of covers;
• keeping terminals protected at all times;
• organizing equipment in a single point;
• simultaneous charging of devices used by multiple operators;
• preparing the fleet for the next shift.

The compatible Rugged Boot is Zebra SG-TCVT-BOOT-01 and must be ordered separately for each terminal.

Five spare battery slots

In addition to the terminal positions, the CRD-TCVTB-5D5B-1 includes five separate slots for charging Zebra TC201 compatible backup batteries.

Batteries can be charged simultaneously with the terminals, providing a ready reserve for:

• long work shifts;
• operations carried out in two or three shifts;
• intensive scans throughout the day;
• permanent use of Wi-Fi or cellular networks;
• quick replacement of a discharged battery;
• preparing equipment for the next users.

The exact battery code must be checked before ordering to confirm compatibility with the cradle slots.

Solution for centralized fleet management

The CRD-TCVTB-5D5B-1 is recommended for charging points where terminals and batteries must be managed together. The station reduces the number of individual sources and simplifies equipment preparation before each shift.

It can be installed in:

• the back-office of stores;
• terminal drop-off and pick-up areas;
• warehouses and logistics centers;
• courier hubs;
• dispatch offices;
• technical rooms and secure areas;
• equipment points for field personnel.

Charge-Only function

The Zebra CRD-TCVTB-5D5B-1 is intended for terminal and battery charging only. It does not provide USB sync, data transfer, or Ethernet connectivity.

It is suitable when the main objective is:

• centralized fleet loading;
• preparing terminals between shifts;
• keeping backup batteries charged;
• reducing the number of individual adapters;
• avoiding connecting cables directly to each terminal;
• organizing equipment in a fixed point.

For Ethernet connectivity or data transfer, a ShareCradle variant that explicitly includes those functions must be selected.

Power supply included

The kit includes the Zebra PWR-BGA12V150W1WW power supply, sized to power the station with five terminal positions and five battery slots.
