The old blackberry or motorola car chargers work. Also you could buy a USB plug and then just plug the cord that the gopro came with into that.

I just use a iPhone wall charger and plug the gopros cord into that

Honestly just turn the camera off every lift run, unless you live in the midwest where I do and the lift takes 2 minutes to get up the hill. I got the extra battery and the only time when I have every had to use it was when I forgot to charge my other one when I was in Utah. Just charge it every time after you use it.

Anything that looks like that will work. I use old Motorola and Blackberry chargers, camera cables, PSP cables. Get a wall plug > USB or cigarette lighter > USB adapter, you can charge anything, anywhere. EyeOfMine (Google them) has a GoPro battery charger, IIRC.

you're going to have to make sure the charger and the battery packs have the same amount of voltage or else you could fry your battery pack

I remember seeing a purpose built GoPro battery charger at either Point of View Cameras or Eye of Mine Photography.

I got an extra battery, it was a really good idea for me.  I've had it die a few times and was pretty glad I had an extra battery.
