ChargeLite™ USB-C: Device Charging for Schools
Technology plays an essential role in modern primary education. From supporting digital literacy and collaborative learning to enabling online assessment and classroom research, laptops, Chromebooks and tablets are now part of everyday school life.
However, with more devices comes greater responsibility. Schools need a safe, secure, and practical way to store, charge, and manage technology without creating an additional workload for teachers or IT teams.
That's where the ChargeLite™ USB-C range from LapSafe® comes in.
Designed specifically for education environments, ChargeLite™ provides schools with a cost-effective, flexible and future-ready solution for charging and securing devices.
The Challenges Schools Face
Primary schools often face a unique set of challenges when managing devices:
- Limited classroom and storage space
- Growing numbers of Chromebooks, tablets and laptops
- Tight budgets
- The need for safe access for younger pupils
- Pressure on IT teams to manage multiple devices efficiently
Without a dedicated storage and charging solution, devices can quickly become difficult to organise, maintain and keep secure.
Meet the ChargeLite™ USB-C Range
ChargeLite™ USB-C is LapSafe®'s affordable device charging and storage solution for education.
Available in multiple formats including:
- Trolleys
- Wall-mounted units

Why USB-C Matters for Schools
The way schools purchase devices has changed significantly in recent years.
Many modern educational devices now charge via USB-C, including:
- Chromebooks
- Windows laptops
- Android tablets
- iPads with USB-C connectivity
By choosing a USB-C charging solution, schools can:
Future-Proof Their Investment
USB-C has become the industry standard for charging and data transfer. Investing in USB-C charging infrastructure helps ensure compatibility with future device purchases.
Reduce Cable Complexity
Traditional AC charging solutions often require bulky power adapters and excess cabling. ChargeLite™ USB-C systems help create a neater, more organised charging environment, reducing cable clutter and simplifying device management.
Improve User Experience
USB-C connectors are easy to use, robust and reversible, making them ideal for younger pupils who may struggle with traditional charging connectors.
Safe Charging Comes as Standard
Safety is a non-negotiable requirement in any primary school environment.
Every ChargeLite™ solution features LapSafe®'s ultra-safe power management technology, designed to:
- Prevent electrical overloads

This means devices can charge safely and efficiently without creating unnecessary strain on school electrical systems.
At-a-Glance Charging Status with LED Indicators
Managing multiple devices can be time-consuming, particularly when teachers need to confirm that devices are ready for the next lesson.
ChargeLite™ USB-C helps simplify device management with clear LED charging indicators, allowing users to quickly identify the charging status of each device without opening the unit or manually checking batteries.
Benefits include:
- Instant visual confirmation that devices are charging correctly
