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!)

This is a luxury version with display but still very affordable.

I have a cheapo from AliExpress but it charges fast enough for this small battery.

To charge in the camera the USB power source must be PD (Power Delivery) capable.

I bought a car charger claiming this standard but no avail.

Charges my phone very fast though.

PS: wait a minute, PD 3.0 seems only available on the USB-C port, my phone cable is on the regular USB port, this one does Samsung protocols as proved.

Will try another cable and report...
