Will USB connection charge spare battery?

[Anonymous]

Hi

My PDA2K cradle will charge my PDA2K fine via USB without the power adapter being connected.

What I need to know is if it will also charge the spare battery?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone HAVE a spare battery, they seem to be like hens teeth.

If it's the same as the XDA II dock then no, it won't charge the spare without the mains supply.

You need external power for spare battery.

I agree with Cruisin-thru.
It definitely does not charge the second battery when using the USB connection. I've already found this out the hard way....

Test for yourself. Cradle plugged into the mains and USB with ONLY the spare battery inserted - light on the front right hand side glows (Orange M200 cradle). Unplug the mains light goes out.

Voila!
