[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3190241, member: 29706"] Basically use the same charger and type of cord you would normally use to charge it up. As long as the charger puts out enough power it will stay running. Mounting it next to a socket is best but not 100% needed as you can easily run a cord about 10 feet with minimal issue to power after that though it starts to really drop off. I am just using the cases I had the tablets in and hanging them like a picture with a little creative ingenuity but you could easily make a wood frame deep enough to hold the tablet, just make sure that the charge port is accessible or the cord is built in to the frame in such a way that it can never come undone. Some batteries were better than others though. As they stretch the tech to try and shrink it down but keep the same power there have been issues. Like the galaxy note batteries catching fire for example. There were a ton of ipad's that you would find in the store displays at one point where the batteries had poofed up and popped the screen away from the back as they would overcharge too easily also. Some people say that you should never take a battery below 25% and never charge above 80% to extend the life. I know that leaving them on a charger constantly can cause problems with the battery if you have the screen brightness all the way up and are doing a lot with it as this heats the battery up a lot. As far as stopping the charge at a certain point I charge at night and having something that wakes me up so that I can unplug the phone will just make it so I can't sleep and then would have to carry a spare battery all the time.
