How to choose the right capacity for your school
The right cart size depends on your classroom set size, not just your total device count. Here’s a quick guide:
Ideal for primary school classrooms, small training rooms, or pilot programmes. The R-LAB20 is the most compact and budget-friendly option — fits in any classroom corner.
Most Indian school classrooms have 25–35 students. The RLAB30E handles mixed fleets of laptops, tablets, and iPads with both USB and AC charging in one cart.
For large digital classrooms, computer labs, or shared device pools. The RP36-B series (36 devices, glass door, USB-C PD) and R-LAB40T (40 devices, economy) cover this range.
USB-C vs AC charging — which does your fleet need?
| Device Type | Charging Port | Recommended Cart | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPad (10th Gen, Air, Mini) | USB-C | RP36-B-18W | 18W PD is sufficient for all standard iPads |
| iPad Pro 11" / 13" (M4) | USB-C | RP36-B-45W | 45W PD for fast charging between sessions |
| MacBook Air (M2, M3) | USB-C / MagSafe | RP36-B-60W | 60W PD for full overnight charge |
| Chromebook (standard) | USB-C | RP36-B-18W or 45W | Check wattage on original charger |
| Windows Laptop (15.6") | USB-C or AC | RP36-B-60W or R-LAB40T | 60W USB-C or AC via original adapter |
| Mixed fleet (tablets + laptops) | USB-C + AC | RLAB30E | Supports both USB and AC in one cart |
| Legacy devices (AC only) | AC / Barrel | R-LAB20 or R-LAB40T | Economy AC carts with timer control |
How India’s schools are scaling device charging in 2024–2026
India’s school digitisation is accelerating under NEP 2020. Here’s what’s changing — and why multi-device charging carts are now a procurement priority:
Schools are moving from shared computer labs to mobile classroom sets — one device per student. Charging carts are the operational backbone of this model, enabling devices to be deployed, collected, and recharged in a single daily workflow.
CBSE and ICSE schools are integrating digital tools across all subjects. Bulk procurement of tablets and Chromebooks is now standard — and IT managers are specifying charging carts as part of the initial deployment budget.
From 2024, all new iPads, MacBooks, Chromebooks, and Android tablets charge via USB-C. Schools upgrading their fleet must specify USB-C PD charging carts — not legacy AC-only solutions that won’t support the next device generation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the R-LAB20, RLAB30E, RP36-B, and R-LAB40T?
The R-LAB20 is a 20-device economy cart with AC charging and electronic timer. The RLAB30E is a 30-device smart cart supporting both USB and AC charging. The RP36-B series is a 36-device glass-door cart with USB-C PD fast charging (18W, 45W, or 60W). The R-LAB40T is a 40-device economy cart with AC charging and a 3-mode programmable timer.
Can I charge different device types in the same cart?
Yes — the RLAB30E supports both USB and AC charging simultaneously, making it ideal for mixed fleets. The RP36-B series charges any USB-C device. For AC-only legacy devices, the R-LAB20 or R-LAB40T are the right choice.
Which cart is best for a school with 30 iPads?
For 30 standard iPads (10th Gen, Air, Mini), the RP36-B-18W is ideal — 36 slots with USB-C 18W PD fast charging, glass door, and auto timer. For iPad Pro fleets, choose the RP36-B-45W for faster charging.
Do all RIFE carts support overnight unattended charging?
Yes — all RIFE carts include timer-based or smart auto cut-off charging. Combined with active cooling fans and flame-retardant construction, overnight unattended charging is safe and standard practice in 500+ Indian schools.
