Older power strips might have only used a .5 amp output for the USB. Newer ones probably are using more. You need to know. More output amperage won't hurt anything. I use my phones turbo charger which is 5vdc 3 amps output.

The SM-BCR2 like my smartphone, has the smarts built into it so it knows what rate to charge the battery at.
The output parameters of the USB ports in the power strip that I use are 5 volts at 2.1 amps.
