I found that I could use 3rd party chargers with the Kobo Vox by using a combination of 2 readily available cables connected together.

1. A short USB OTG 'On the Go' cable which has a Micro USB plug at one end and a USB Type A socket at the other.

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.
