Into what did you plug it? If a computer or laptop, this is what you
will see.  But if you plug it into a USB charging socket (eg a
charger as supplied with any phone), it should just charge.

I should have thought of that,  Hust yesterday I was in the ER and saw
a woman charging her phone with a charger, from a strip that didn't
have usb ports, and I said to myself, Remember to put an AC charger in
the car.  But I still didn't think of it.

Can I use a 3.1 amp charger, the only one I don't have to hunt for, or

Is it a USB charger?

You can safely charge any device with a USB charge cable with any USB
power adapter (assuming the cable and power adapter aren't cheap
knockoff devices that don’t actually meet USB specifications, and they
aren't defective).

The letter “U” in “USB” stands for “Universal”. The USB specification is
designed so that the device and USB power adapter will automatically
negotiate the power level that is appropriate for the device being
charged.
