WTB: Wireless gang-charging station for ipads

[rcjordan]

My daughter is an administrator for an upscale nursing home. She recently was awarded a grant to buy 16-20 ipads for the residents. She and I have discussed that -while this sounds great for the residents- managing the recharging is going to be hell.  What she needs is a credenza with an inductive charger capable of handling 4 or more ipads.

Come in all sizes.

I've just bought Katryna a QI adaptor for her device. It works well and easily scaleable if a case is used.

>missed the wireless

Doesn't matter. If nothing else, it provides her with some manufacturers' names that she might call and inquire.  I sent the links along with this

Don't commit your maintenance dept to a construction plan until I hear more from the guys.  What model tablet did you get? More importantly, does it have "QI charging" on the specs?

NOTE NOTE NOTE: Charging of any kind, particularly gang-charging can be a fire hazard. Keep this in mind if you design your own.

You really need wireless charging if at all possible.It may NOT be available for multiple units, though, due to heat/fire issues. Still, it's the coming tech and schools are going to be doing it if at all possible.

Those cabinets I linked to still require someone fiddling with any array of charging cords.
