The only caution I'd give you is to let batteries cool down a bit before charging them, ie: don't charge your phone whilst it's sitting in the sun on the dashboard. As long as a battery's under 40c when charging, you're fine. Even if you ignore this, most built-in charging circuits watch battery temperature and won't charge an overheated battery.
Okay thanks a lot. I have a good skill about sweating the small stuff
