For powercharging you need the special NC cable.
I do not know if you can use the NC charger with a regular micro-usb cable for regular usb-charging. Just try it.

You can use any micro-usb charger to usb-charge the NC. This will be slower (about 8 hours to fully charge) and you will not see a charging message on the screen.

One thing you should not do with the NC cable is using the NC while charging. That will cause the cable to fail.
