Thanks for the replies as now I won't use my CAD PC for charging at all.....!
Something I really didn't think about was damaging my PC. It's very expensive and even more so being freelance if it's broken, it's my work tool.
I'll stick with batteries from my £14 nitecore charger!

I certainly agree, you should never risk your source of income, just for handiness sake. But a powered hub would be useful to have anyway and they can be found for a reasonable cost. I got a three deck hard drive docking station with build in hub from Fasttech for about £25. They have a powered hub for £5... www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005607/1440101-usb-2-0-high-speed-7-port-hub-w-power-adapter-usjust needs a UK adapter.
