Oops. I thought I might could use it with the camera batteries, too. The
reviews mentioned charging camera batteries but I guess different ones? It
will be worth it for the phone and Kindle, though. The phone goes dead
every day. The Kindle Paperwhite would probably last the whole trip but
not the Fire. I do have the car outlet attachment for my Leica battery
chargers but we will be traveling in a school bus. Do those have cigarette
lighter sockets? I don't know!
