There are charge-only cables (and adapters) readily available.

Do people know about these? Are they labelled? (I bought a couple of
Bluetooth devices from Argos supplied with cables which are, in effect,
charge only - but they just look like ordinary USB cables.)

Well, I'm not particularly 'techie', but _I_ know about them...
I bought mine through Amazon - just the adapters, as I already have
enough standard cables floating around.
