Does anyone have a #Motorola #Iridium9505 (not #9505A / 9555 / 9575(A)(PTT)) charger / charging cradle / dock / serial adapter or can give me the #Pinouts for said #connector?

Kinda need to charge one, ideally without having to remove the battery (which is at least tool-free accessible!) and hooking it up to a benchtop power supply for CV/CC-charging...

And before anyone asks: I'd rather try to DIY some dock than having to buy some overpriced charger that costs hundreds of € and seems to be out of stock everywhere...

Espechally since it's the 9505, not the 9505A which swapped the "Chonky bottom connector" for a barrel jack when it comes to charging...

And yes, I've contacted the local "Iridium Service Provider/ -Distributor" already and they don't have any in stock.

I do hope to get some details from #Iridium themselves, as I've contact them as well.

All I need is the pinout cuz then I could worst-case get something made with pogo pins and stuff to hookup power.

I mean, I've seen newly made batteries for the #Iridium9505 / #Motorola9505 and even the OG #Iridium9500 / #Motorola9500 but chargers are basically #unobtanium.
