Any 2 amp USB charger will work, it will give you full charge in 4 hours.

A wall 2A will charge it, I assume a 1 amp will as well, twice as long. I have to say this though. I bought a pack of three, 2A wall chargers a while back and the Equinox charged an excessive long long time and never stopped charging, with either of those units which worried me, so I quit using those wall chargers and I use a power bank now. It has an internal regulator. I hit full charge almost instantly compared to the white wall charge units. I have never tried using those wall chargers again.

Yes. All USB type A chargers are designed to output 5 Volts DC. What differs is the amount of power they can put out. A higher Watt charger will be able to output more current at 5 Volts and thus charge your Nox faster.

I would not charge it with any charger higher than 2 amp, 1 amp will work, but takes longer.
