Can I charge my Go Pro from any USB Charger like my GPS one in my Car or my Camera Charger?

I use my Ipod wall charger to charge my GoPro battery backpac.  I would rather charge the batteries in the backpac than charge the batteries in the GoPro, but that is just me. 
You can check the output of your chargers and compare to the GoPro charger specs just to be safe.

The only issue with using the bacpac is that, after reinserting the battery in your camera, the date has to be reset again.

No big deal, but picking up lots of friends along the way is.

I got this Wasabi charger and works like a charm, much better than the GoPro batteries.  The Wasabi batteries fit better, are easier to remove and hold their charge longer than the GoPro.  it also comes with a car charger.
