[clemsyn]

I was wondering if standalone desktop battery charger for Universal good in recharging batteries or if they shorten the battery life. Thanks!

As long as the minimum specs for the universal are met by your charger it should not shorten your battery's life in any way.

Me and other people across the forum have used a moto razr charger to charge our universals, good results have been achieved, i have a charging/sync craddle bough out in ebay for few euros, it's branded "just mobile", it has its own battery charger (rated at 5V, 1A) and it works fine, although many people have had problems just with this charger.

One last thing, the real battery charger circuit is inside the pda, so provided that the battery charger is normal to good quality (5V +/- 10%, 500mA to 1A), you should not have any problems.

Bear in mind however that the battery can 'sk' for up to 1A if its almost flat. This means that your charger should be able to deliver it if you want to charge your battery
