FAQs: Device Charging Cabinets for Schools
What devices can these cabinets charge?
They are designed for devices that charge via AC power adapters, including most Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets (with the correct charging adapters).

If you hand out devices daily to groups or stations, the AC-GO-16 is optimized for distribution with carry-out baskets.
How do I prevent overheating during charging?
Use a vented cabinet, keep vents clear, avoid blocking airflow against a wall, and follow your device manufacturer’s charging guidance. A consistent routine (charge overnight, deploy during the day) also helps.
Do these require software or configuration?
No. These are designed for straightforward, dependable charging workflows using internal power strips.
Can I use these for iPads or tablets?
Yes, as long as they charge via AC adapters and fit within the cabinet’s device bays. Confirm device dimensions and charging brick placement before ordering.
