charging base

Device resting station

A charging base is a platform or cradle that recharges battery-powered devices when they're set on it.

The term applies to stands for cordless phones, electric toothbrushes, wireless earbuds, and similar devices: Put the handset back on the charging base when you're done.

Most use inductive charging rather than exposed electrical contacts.
