I need some ideas for some docking stations for collars... 8 T5s and 2 DC 50s gets to be a pain and messy the day before every hunt. Has to be a better way than taking up every available plug in the house and having collars strolled out.

Larry...the one I bought from Walmart has for 10 plug ins and they are spaced apart which is perfect for the collars. The surge protector is about 3.5 ft long...I also have a second one that fits about three collars.

I bought a black wire shelf from Lowes and keep all my tracking collars, shock collars and head lamps on it to charge as needed...the protectors are tie wrapped so they won't move...

I'm in the process of making one with a power strip and some pegboard to put on a wall with the hangers to hold the collars

They sell ones on the web that plug into the wall and has 10 usb ports. I bought one, but haven't set up my station yet. I have an old wall mount gun cabinet with glass doors that I'm going to convert when I build my shed

Sorry it took so long, it needs a different power strip for all the chargers but that's basically it. Put some little wood strips along the back borders to keep the hooks off the wall.

I was considering drilling out some of the holes and running the chargers behind the board and out the front...... Opinions on that??

I know it's hard but look below each collar and not at the deer antlers and you will see a hole. Cords and power bar out of sight.

Oh ok, ya I think I'm going to do that. I'll have to keep the power strip in front, but yours looks a lot "cleaner" with the cords behind it all than mine does.
