It's charging plug is the exact same kind that the x50v uses, so it just plugs right into the AC Adapter dongle or cradle. I've used this Pelican PSP charger during a road trip for hours on end, with screen at full bright, maximum cpu speed, microdrive, and battery at 50%, and it charged my battery to full while watching a movie. good stuff.

As woodbane said, look for a charger with high current output (at LEAST 1500ma or 1.5A). But I would not recommend that linked boxwave charger at all. They claim that it can charge and run an x50v with it's 1Amp output, but that is not true. A couple people on these forums have shown that the x50v draws quite a bit more than 1Amp when in use + charging.

I bought this one today, it fits. Are we SURE it won't harm the Axim?? before I plug it in?
Thanks
