(5) Cell Phone Batteries - Charging Solution?

So I currently have 5 cell phone batteries for my Samsung Fascinate. I'm a bit of a "power user" - So blowing through a few batteries isn't the most uncommon thing. What sucks about it is I have to INDIVIDUALLY charge them.

A few year back I could have swore there was a piece of hardware you could just pop all your cell phone batteries in and it would charge them at once.

I've tried searching:
- Cell Phone Battery Docking Station
- Cell Phone Battery Charging Startion
- Cell Phone Battery Charging Dock

lol. Pretty much anything to get me going, but couldn't find anything.

Am I searching for the wrong thing? Anybody got any other ideas?

i know you searched, i'm just used to posting lmgtfy

You probably want something like this could not find one for Samsung but for the price you can buy 4 more chargers on your own

Nevermind

Those would be perfect and a bad or slow battery would not cause an issue

Nice find, but why would you need a usb hub, take a closer look at the other images it can plug into a wall outlet directly. Just get a powerstrip or scatter them around your house.

Because a nice small USB hub will be neater than a big power strip.

Not really, you're introducing 4 usb cables plus the one powering the hub to the scenario, when those units can plug into a single powerstrip (they make plenty of slim ones) with no additional wiring.

You'd probably need two powers trips. Those things would cover 3 outlets on most surge protectors.

Well a USB hub will not have enough amperage to charge more than one battery so AC is the only way to go with a power strip made for bricks like this

or these

Output current of a hub may be adequate for this IF that were how these chargers worked.

Upon closer inspection of the images, these chargers REQUIRE 100-240VAC and in addition to charging a battery they provide a 5.2VDC 800mA usb power port. Connecting the port to a powered hub would end very badly. This port also may not provide enough power charge some devices.

800mA ? What if the battery is 1500 mAh?

I never ended up buying these. lol. I'm back on the market again!
