Hi
My PDA2K cradle will charge my PDA2K fine via USB without the power adapter being connected.
What I need to know is if it will also charge the spare battery?
Does anyone know?
Does anyone HAVE a spare battery, they seem to be like hens teeth.

If it's the same as the XDA II dock then no, it won't charge the spare without the mains supply.
You need external power for spare battery.
I agree with Cruisin-thru.
It definitely does not charge the second battery when using the USB connection. I've already found this out the hard way....

Test for yourself. Cradle plugged into the mains and USB with ONLY the spare battery inserted - light on the front right hand side glows (Orange M200 cradle). Unplug the mains light goes out.
Voila!
I believe that there is an issue with charging performance in the Atrix car dock. I'm using the OEM Motorola ECOMOTO Rapid Rate vehicle power adapter (850 mAH) with dual USB ports. You can tell this USB charger is a good product just by the weight of the thing! A test charge in the Atrix car dock began at 7:45 AM and the phone's charge was 20%. At 9 AM 30% and 10:30 AM 40%. This is obviously nothing like the wall charger so it made me believe that the phone was powered by the charger while docked but only receiving a trickle charge. Connecting the phone directly to the USB car charger (without the car dock) using a stock USB to micro USB charging cable, at 8:00 AM the phone was at 20%, 8:20 AM 40%, 9:00 AM 70% and 10:00 AM 100%. What a contrast!! So it appears that there is an issue with charging performance while in the car dock. I've reported this to Motorola and hope that they can reproduce and address. How about the rest of you, what say you all?
Mine charges fine. I have the moto - 2usb port charger and it powers the phone in the dock just fine (mine is Y shaped and ships with the MotoBranded car dock, not AT&T).
Mine charges just like the wall charger - both put out 850mA. If I am running Nav in the car dock, and screen is on, it charges slower - but this is to be expected.

I find when driving around during the day with the screen always on, taking the occasional call and GPS/Navigation running most of the time (not sure, just love seeing my KM/H sitting up there helps keep my heavy right foot off the go pedal) that my battery slowly slinks up in % almost like it's not charging due to the load I have on it.
old thread but..
Hello
I know its old thread and no one is interested anymore but I found out that Atrix is giving power back to the vehicle when connected to the car dock.
I have a Cigar lighter slot hub with an LED indicator. The LED remains glowing when I turn off my car and leave Atrix in the Car Dock. I found out that ACC are having power until Atrix battery is empty.
Even if I unplug the HUB from the car, LED remains glowing, but battery drain seems not that high than connected to the car.
Once I remove the Atrix and put it back, LED is not glowing again, so I think it has something to do with the Car Dock and the Atrix software. (not sure)
I'm trying to make a work around with relay...
as title says, does anyone know when does docking station start charging the tablet? cause ive noticed that even when my tablet is at like 75% while keyboard is at 90% its not charging the tablet
A little searching would tell you that your tablet won't begin charging until it's reached 70%.
ahhh kk, mmm guess ill have to test this then
If your cable is plugged into your dock and the tablet connect to the dock, the tablet will charge first, once the tablet is fully charged the dock then charges, ive also noticed, if my tablet is on low power and the dock is charged, the dock charges the tablet moving its charge to the tablet, COOL!!!
I wonder if dock charging tab is an OK thing in terms of not shortening batery life in future ... does anyone have any info on this?
HELLO my TPRIME keyboard is not charging the tablet charges up to 100% but as i type my TPRIME keyboard is at 15% while the tablet is at 100% & both are connected and plugged to the charger i even deleted battery stats if anyone has this problem or knows how to fix this please respond THANK YOU
Lol, breathe, calm down, and learn how paragraphs work.
You are saying you have the prime docked on the keybord dock and the usb cable plugged into the dock. The prime says its charging but the dock does not say its charging?
Have prime docked. Prime should say its charging from the keyboard dock even if the dock is not plugged in.
Plug in charger to dock. Prime should notify that the dock is charging.
Now if you plug the charger into the dock there should be a light by the charging port that glows showing the dock is, in fact, charging. do you see this light? Does it glow when the charger is connected?
If the dock charge indicator does NOT glow and you know you are getting power from the charger then i suggest trying to get a refund or replacment for your dock as it seems to be malfunctioning.
Hopefully this helped. hit the thanks button if it did!
hello PILEOT thank you i understand what you explained but i have another friend who has a TF201 and the same thing happed to his prime i spoke to him he told me that he purchased a new charging plug and it solved the issue so ordered a couple of new plugs because the one i have i bought it and its a usb apadter plug im also going to call ASUS the only problem is i unlocked my bootloader that may be a problem but im not going to mention that fact thank you
So I noticed that when I have gear on dock but dock unplugged my battery stays at 100%. Is the dock also some what of a portable charger?

i also think the same way , but not sure about it , because if we plug the dock the battery will have charge icon.
OK I found out the charging cradle does have a battery and will provide a small charge without being plugged in. You can also connect the cradle to phone using special cable (sorta kinda special). The dock has about a 350m battery same as the gear itself. It's not much but I think it's a cool little gimmick.
I'm going to say yes because the dock has a charge light on it next to the microUSB port. If you notice it'll be Blue if you keep the dock plugged in for a while but red if you plug it in and it's been unplugged for a while.
well then thank you for the info , so we can charge it anywhere
Yes confirmed the dock will charge. I use it when watch is fully charged to keep it at 100%.
its in the user manual..the dock is a battery
According to the manual, it will charge the Gear S up to about 50% only.
The Gear S has a 300mAh battery, while the dock has 350mAh.

Use the charging dock to charge the battery in your Gear S. The charging dock also contains a battery. Take care not to lose the dock.

also..the XDA had already a topic about it

Utterly amazing that people would own a device as sophisticated as the Gear S and NOT read the manual???
Maybe you would discover the setting for making breakfast and washing the car!
