With the increasing demand for laptops and computer systems on the go, it has become increasingly important to create effective, safe, and efficient methods for charging and storing them. Often in a school environment, having a dozen or even 100 laptops to charge is not uncommon. The problem with this is that the process is cumbersome, especially when there are a lot of people that need to charge at one time and not nearly enough outlets to make that happen. Charging carts change that. They provide a fast and simple way to charge a large number of laptops at one time, minimizing the amount of work and frustration many people have when it comes to keeping these valuable assets ready to go.

At Lenovo, we work with schools, government offices, businesses, and many others who need an effective and streamlined option for charging their devices. Our charging carts are designed to get the job done with good efficiency while also being super streamlined. To find out what we have available, take a closer look at our online inventory. You can compare several of these carts to each other to find the ones that work the best for your needs. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you make the decision on which to buy.

Numbers Storage Options

One of the reasons to invest in a laptop charging cart is because you want a high-quality system that is easy to use and versatile for everyday use. You need a way to charge a large number of laptops or event tablets for use. As you begin to compare your options, then, be sure that the cart you select offers enough slots to meet your needs.

You may need a system that offers enough charging for two or three dozen laptops for your classrooms to share. You may need a laptop or tablet charger for each floor of your office or hospital setting. It is often a good idea to choose as few carts as possible to save space. Luckily, some of the laptop charging cart options available today can handle dozens of devices at one time. That makes it super easy and simplistic to manage just about everything you have in one space.

More than one device

Another feature to look for when you are buying these is what they can charge. Many of these carts are not as flexible as you may expect. That is, they do not charge more than one type of device. Some may just charge laptops, and others just charge tablets. For those who need more flexibility, seek out a multi device charging station. This type of charging station allows you to store just about anything that plugs into it.

Investing in a multi device charging station can help you to minimize the amount of space you have to dedicate to numerous charging carts. You may be able to keep everything in one place to improve organization and overall efficiency. You can find a range of options to select from that offer a multi device charging system. Be sure to reach the product description carefully to ensure you are getting the very best product for your needs.

Mobility

You may not think much about this need until you have a number of devices you need to manage at one time. A mobile charging station is just what it sounds like. It is a simple and easy way for you to charge devices with ease. You can move it from one classroom to the next with ease. You may be able to take it from one hospital floor to the next. This is a simple and straightforward solution when you do not need a lot of charging ports, but you need a simple that can be easy to move from one place to the next.

If you are buying a mobile charging station, be sure to buy a high-quality product. That way, you are confident you can move it around as you need to without having to worry about it becoming damaged along the way. Also, check out the wheels on it. Be sure they are durable and designed to be able to move with ease. These charging carts can become quite heavy over time, especially if you are moving a lot of devices at once.

Cable management

Another common feature of a device charging system like this that many people do not think about is a cord management system. It is a good idea to choose a system that offers some type of method for managing all of the cords that typically go with the charging process. It is easy to imagine just how hard it can be to manage this component.

Some of the best offer notched hooks that make it super easy to organize and store cords for fast and reliable charging that does not lead to confusion later. This is also beneficial because it allows you to plug in the devices to charge fast and does not require a number of different steps. It is a good idea to compare several cord management systems before you make the purchase of a charging cart. Some are designed to allow for the cords and cables to be placed above the devices, making it simple to pick up what you need and go.

Slot dividers

When it comes to device charging, it is not ideal to have any type of charging cart that stacks these devices on top of each other. When you do that, you create the risk of everything toppling over. You also increase the risk of the devices overheating without having a simple way to keep their cool. The better option then is to look for a cart that offers some type of slot divers between each of the devices you will place in it.

Slotted, smart dividers like this also make it super easy to keep everything organized. They may have dividers that keep the devices sitting in an upright position. That keeps them protected from damage, especially when taking them out or putting them in. If you have a number of people adding the device to the charging cart, you want to be sure that it is simple for them to put the device onto the charging slot. Otherwise, people may stack them up or even toss them in without any careful planning. That could put your assets at risk.

Wheels

As noted, the wheels on the device charging cart are something to take a closer look at before you buy. These impact mobility. You may find a wide range of wheel designs, but there are a few things to look for before you buy. First, be sure that the device offers industrial grade wheels. That is a good idea because it can provide a wide range of protections. With so many assets within it, you want to be sure that the device charging cart is not going to have uneven wear and tear on the wheels causing it to topple over.

When looking for the wheels that are best for these carts, look for those that are a bit thicker. Five-inch wheels are a good option for this. You want that thick design to help minimize the risk of the device moving too quickly or getting stuck on a groove on the floor. Also, look for those that have locking casters. That helps minimize the risk that your cart will move around once it is positioned in place.

Color matters

You may not think much about it right now, but color can matter when choosing a table charging cart. If you are in a classroom or even in a professional setting, the color of your charging cart will make a difference. That is especially important if you want to be sure the system is going to mesh with the rest of the furniture around you.

Tablet charging cart color options range widely by the brand. It is likely that you will find colors that work for just about any need, though.

Additional storage

As you compare the options in available products, you may want to look for a device charging cart that offers additional storage. Having a drawer or other storage space can help you to put extra items in here for use. For example, many times, there is a need to have storage for adapters so that they can easily be accessed when in need. Additional storage may come in the form of cabinets or drawers.

Locking features

For some situations, it is best to choose a charging cart that offers ample security. A locking system helps to minimize the risk that someone is going to access this area and take the laptops or tablets you have locked inside. Not all offer lockable designs, but many have features that make it possible for you to lock them.
