Definitely don't try the standard USB mini cable plugged into one of those USB charger plugs! I don't know about on the 300/600 but on the 505 this actually drains the battery rather than charges. I use it for other things like my MP3 player but it definitely does not like power via USB too much.

I went for the cheap PSP charger option which works fine.
