[Leica] Tina's battery charging conundrum

[Bill Pearce]

Holy S**t, Tina, that's $$$$$. The Amazon listing is as vague as most amazon 
listings, does it charge from a USB port?

Something like that could be good for many of us, as I doubt that there are 
many real cameras that can charge off USB.

The Leica Forum recommended this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G7658RU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The SL charger will plug directly into it.  It's expensive but I've ordered
it and will try it out.

Thanks!
