I have an Ipaq H2200, that I bought at a garage sale ($8 with a 1 GB SD card). It didn’t come with a charger.

Would a USB sync\charger have enough juice to fully charge a completely dead battery?
Or do I need to buy a “plug in the wall” charging cord?

why I'm asking is the USB sync\charger is cheaper on ebay.

Thanks. :)

I don't have an h2200, but the USB port on my computer is not enough to charge a flat battery in my IPAQ hx2415. Have you tried it to see if it will work?

No the battery was dead when I bought it.

Depending on how old the battery is and how long it laid around inside the h2200, the battery may not take a charge at all and you may need to purchase a new battery for it right away.

I don't know how long it's been uncharged.

Do you know what the middle contacts on the battery are?
The rightmost is marked (+) and the leftmost is marked (-) but the middle two aren’t marked are they just duplicates or something else?

Why I’m wondering is I have a transformer the right amperage and voltage to either charge the battery or run the PDA, and I’m handy enough to construct it.


I don’t want to spend much on it since it may or may not work and I’m planning on selling it.
