Hey, that's cool!  Looks just like my workshop... NOT!  A very nice job. 
  But I would be reluctant to do any dirty work in there. :-)

Here's a link to what you're looking for
<http://www.thomasdistributing.com/shop/lenmar-msc1lx-universal-speedcharger-for-36v-to-74v-lithiumion-camcorder-and-digital-camera-batteriesbrcharges-many-canon-hitachi-jvc-minolta-nikon-olympus-panasonic-samsung-sony-and-more-p-1419.html?SP_id=&osCsid=258k514btsva1e4a7qmikrn9g5>
It's a universal digital camera battery charger with adapter plates for 
different batteries and it also charges from a 12 volt source.  Thomas 
Distributing is a reputable source but expensive.  You might find 
something else for less money.

The USB cord won't cut the mustard.  USB voltage is 5 volts and lithium 
ion camera batteries are 7.2 volts.  There's not enough voltage on the 
cable to do the job.
