Tried with 0.85mA

I tried with my G9X. I have an old USB power adaptor for Kindle that provides 0.85mA.

And my battery seems to be charging fine. I get the orange indicator (next to the buttons) if the camera is off, and the battery mark on the LCD shows up in orange if the camera is on. And the camera is in the display-only mode during this time, as expected. My battery was pretty full when I tried it, so I was not able to experiment to see if it stops charging before it gets completely full. I tried it twice (yesterday and today) and both time the same results.
