2. A longer cable with Type A USB plugs at both ends.

One of the Type A plugs then connects to any readily available USB type mobile phone charger.

Charging indicator comes on and shows 'Charging AC' in the status in the menu, probably works because USB OTG cables have pin 4 and 5 connected together via a resistor.
