If your car already has a USB port, or you already have a 12v to USB charger lying around then the size and flexibility of a USB charger might be a good way to go.

Many people seem pleased with this one by "OAproda"

There are other brands with similar USB chargers as well such as Kastar or DSTE.

For the traditional plug-in type with car adapter, I've had excellent luck with a brand called DOT-01. Their chargers handle my GM-series and E-M10 Mark II batteries (both OEM and 3rd-party) and have swap-able trays (so you only need to bring one base). Sadly, I don't see the BLN-1 in their catalog, but Kastar does make a BLN variant that is exactly like what DOT-01 has on offer:
