Zebra ShareCradle Charge Only (CRD-TCVTB-5D)

Keeping a fleet of mobile computers charged and ready can be a logistical headache, especially when devices have different battery capacities or are used across multiple shifts. The Zebra ShareCradle CRD-TCVTB-5D solves this by providing a compact, five-slot charging station that powers up to five Zebra TC5x series devices simultaneously—without the clutter of individual chargers. This cradle is engineered for charging only, making it a straightforward, reliable solution for high-density environments.

Who is it for

This charging cradle is ideal for warehouses, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and field service operations that rely on Zebra TC51, TC52, TC56, TC57, TC52x, TC57x, TC53, or TC58 mobile computers. It suits teams that need to charge multiple devices overnight or between shifts, ensuring that every worker starts with a full battery. Because it supports a wide range of TC5x models, it simplifies device management in mixed fleets.

Tips

To get started, you'll need a compatible Zebra power supply (PWR-BGA12V100W0WW) and DC line cord (CBL-DC-388A1-01), which are sold separately. Place the cradle on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and moisture. For best battery health, avoid leaving devices on the cradle for extended periods after they reach full charge. If you're charging devices with protective cases, ensure the case doesn't obstruct the charging contacts. This cradle is not intended for data transfer—use a separate communication cradle if you need to sync data.
