Good aftenroon,

 

Looking for advice/best practices on charging my surge while travelling.

 

The manual, of course, recommends charging via USB port on computer, but that's not an option while travelling.

 

It also says I can use any USB wall charger, which is fine except when camping.

 

I noticed the help file here on the website says I can also use my car's USB port for charging the Surge. Haven't tried that, but I will.

 

So, for camping - how safe is it to charge my Surge with a Zagg or iFrogz style battery pack?
