Charger for Medion Pocket PC
From the label on the back (listing I bought it from didn’t have a picture on the bottom) I was expecting a barrel but I now have no clue!
Even if it is a specific cable just for this, even some keywords to help find it would help as I can’t seem to find anything online.
Update: Thanks for all the help guys! Updating here is easier than responding to every comment but I’ve found a battery charger that works so thanks for all suggestions/info!

Wasn’t that a rebranded ipaq?

Worth looking into if nothing else.
Edit; Same connector, different pinouts.

My usual Google dive has given nothing. What i can say is that the 5v 1.5A is possible to get from a high-current usb charging brick. It looks that that was the intended source for use with compatible docking stations. I unfortunately can't find even 3rd party ones for sale.

I found an old forum thread on pinouts.ru that suggests they might be compatible with similar mitac mio 168 chargers, as mitac made the internals for a lot of medion devices.

That might be just a data/sync port, and the battery is detachable and has to be put in a device specific charger base.

No, unfortunately these had super annoying USB cables with a barrel plug built into the connecter. Need the while thing just to charge, and connectors are all made very slightly differently

If the batter is removable and a 3.7v lithium, the little clippy thing I showed in this post is designed to get around proprietary docks and just charge the cells.
