True. If I was stuck somewhere with a dead car battery and no 20 amp charger, I'd rather spend an hour or two charging with a 3 amp charger than be stuck. However, as I mentioned earlier, maybe Kobo doesn't want folks trickle charging the battery for a long time just to get it over 10% so they can use the device. Maybe that's detrimental to battery life. These batteries are still emerging technology and I bet there's been a ton of research done in them recently because of the push to electric cars. Kobo may not want a bad rap for failing batteries or ones that won't take a charge. However, that's exactly what it looks like here.
