I bought a battery charger on eBay but it didn't come with the power cable (not sure if it was supposed to or not). The power cable that I use with my 3955's cradle works fine using the barrel connector (leave off the adapter). Since this looks like the same connector used by the 3600 and 3700 series and the charger is for all iPAQs, I was wondering if a power cable made for those would work (I prefer not to share my cradle's cable). I've seen pretty cheap power cables for 3600/3700 series on eBay so I figured I'd just get one of those.

The following is the charger I bought:

I guess another way of asking this question would be is there any difference between the power cable for the 3955 cradle and the earlier versions other than the adapter that lets you plug it directly into the iPAQ?

Thanks for any advice!

I use my old 3600 AC adapter to power my 3955 when I am away from the house. This way I don't have to unplug the 1 from my cradle. It works just fine so I don't think you should have a problem.
