I have 3 batteries and recharge with an USB charger on a powerbank in my backpack, faster than with the Canon mains charger, no worries.

Yep - same here. Bought a cheap USB charger with a Duracell 3rd party battery. Now I can charge mains or powerbank on USB with a spare while one recharges in my bag.

Makes my kit lighter, and I will never run out of power in the field ever again.

Why Canon is still shipping chargers with kettle leads I do not know.

+1 It’s about time Canon moves on from plug-in A/C chargers to USB (minimum Micro USB-B if not USB-C PD). At least offers them as an option. They’re just so darn versatile (I own threee).

Then the next step would be to make the battery built into the camera ?

Like the phone cameras ?

It wouldn't hurt to be able to recharge the battery in the camera, just another option.

This is what I use though. If only Canon would design their chargers like this.

(my version is duracell branded, hopefully that counts for less of a fire risk!)
