Barcode Scanner Docks, Cradles, and Chargers

The device used to recharge cordless barcode scanners is called a barcode scanner dock, cradle, charger, or base station. Some of them are also used for communication between the cordless barcode scanner and the computer. There are a few models just for recharging barcode scanner batteries, which allows for a full-charged backup battery to be quickly swapped with a depleted battery in a cordless barcode scanner.
