A lot of the stand alone USB devices/chargers do not follow the USB power spec very well. That can cause all sorts of weird problems if you use them with a device that is expecting the correct power levels.
Somebody should start keeping a list of the brands/models of stand alone chargers that work well with the DR and which don't. Maybe a wiki page on here?
