Some USB charged stuff needs a 2+amp supply to charge. If you connect it to a supply that is less capable, it may either:
A - Not charge at all OR
B - Burn out the supply. So you better know who needs what.

Some how or another we ended up with a gnarly mess of cords/chargers for all our electrical devices.
Two cell phones, (and of course they take different chargers), GPS, MP3 player, MP3 dock, tablet, tablet keyboard, camera, laptop, hot spot, and Lord knows what other chargeable device she'll decide we NEED.
How do you carry this mess of cords and devices so that you can easily tell which charger goes with which device. I was thinking of color coding each device along with their respective charging unit. That seems too complicated. Now I'm contemplating a separate bag/pouch for each device and their charges. (MP3 for example has 3+, Power port, AC, & USB, plus phono jacks for RV plug in usage) and then putting all pouches together in a larger tote or whatever.
Any thought/ideas? Other than leaving half this behind, how do you handle your cords?

I have actually found that there seems to be more standardization now than before. All of our phones and kindles charge via micro USB cables. Some other random gadgets charge with mini USB cables. Regardless of mini or micro, they all plug into a standard 5V USB outlet.
So I just use this,

I leave it plugged into a TT 12V plug. Devices usually come with the mini or micro USB cable, so I just leave one or two plugged into this and hook up devices to the other ends when they need charging.

Your idea of separate bags for each item, then one container for them all seems reasonable. JMO
