Title: 5000D recharger?
Post by: vputz on November 03, 2004, 06:16:43 pm
I'm still limping along with my venerable (but still capable) SL-5000D.  As I look on in awe at the new Z models, I find that the li'l thing, while not stylish, still works fine for many apps.  Go go 32M total memory!

However... its battery life is pathetic.

Now, that's not terrible, but it does mean that I'd awfully like to have a charger at home and at work, and I only have the one.  Where can I get a good cheap AC charger?  I've seen many "deals" on eBay, but I'm never certain how legitimate they are (kinda like that "CASE FOR ZAURUS" auction that shows a Handspring Visor in the case... it may even work for a Z, but heck, at least show me a picture of one!).

The chargers for the iPaq series of PDAs work.  I have a charger for the iPaq 2210 that works without any problems for the SL5500.  The charger comes with an adaptor for the iPaq, it doesn't need the adaptor for the SL5500.  They are not very expensive.  I also remember seeing some chargers that cost about $20.00 US that appeared to be right for the Z.  The iPaq chargers are available everywhere, sometimes even on sale.  Hope this helps.
