Abstract
A compact support for a battery charger and a cable to be connected from the battery charger to a cell phone or other battery-powered device. The support includes a base on which the battery charger is seated and a stand having a winding hub projecting therefrom. Slots are formed through the base to receive respective terminals (i.e., prongs) of the battery charger to attach the battery charger to the support. The winding hub projecting from the stand has a pair of hub arms and respective tongues which turn away from the arms and each other. The cable of the battery charger is first wrapped around the pair of hub arms so as to lie between the tongues thereof and the stand and then removably retained by one or more notches formed in the stand and one of the tongues of the hub arms.
