From a powered hub, the boxwave always charged my pda regardless of how low the battery was, even at like 5%.
If one cable connects to both +5 and +5.4 then that could be a difference. Also, how long is each cable? Even a 3' cable with wire that is to small (high gauge) could drop enough voltage to become ineffective given the current draw required, altho my measurements showed that the Axim was will to charge as long as the input was >= 4.5V.
