I only own one USB source that is powered by AC, the rest are directly from 12vdc. Seems a DC battery as a buffer would be better than trusting mexican hertz and voltage. You mad e the borg tolerant of Mex electricity surges correct?
Keeping lithium batteries full always is not so great for them, best to keep in the 20 to 80% range if what I read on them can be believed.
My favorite USB source is a Blueseas 12vdc direct charger. That and a short quality cable.
But All I really charge via USB is my S4 mini. Its first battery spent a lot of time being treated like lead acid. Topped up constantly. it did not fare so well. Have a 'duracell' replacement. I don't often leave it at or near 100%.
