Any usb charger with a usb A to usb mini cable will plugin into the sds100....those would be considered 3rd party IMO. One scenario is if you use one with 2000ma, you may be charging too fast.
SDS100/SDS200: **SAFETY ALERT** SDS100 battery severely swelled

The USB 5V goes to Unidens charger circuit in the scanner, not directly to the battery. It's the same in Unidens external charger, that it takes the external power and regulate the charge current to max 500mA to the battery and then sense both temperature and voltage and cut the charge completely to the battery when it's fully charged, no trickle charge. If the USB power are low and cannot supply 500mA, that could happen if it also needs to power the scanner at something like a total of 1300mA, then charge current can be lower than 500mA.

First and foremost, I never ever said, "I can't wait" for knockoff batteries. Perhaps, you can reread my post where it clearly states that I just ordered two more Uniden batteries. This makes absolutely no sense. I did not wait, Bubba.
First of all, since these batteries have "not" been made to my knowledge, how would you even know if these were "knockoff batteries?" Sweet Jesus, that was a great joke. Keep them coming.
In my experiences, I have had wonderful with batteries made by other companies. I own a Nikon FX D750, a professional DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex).
The battery replacement for the Nikon battery was >than the quality of the original battery.
Here is yet another example. I used to own several inferior quality wrapped batteries with the pigtail. I improved the original batteries with another build with significantly better specs and quality.
Perhaps, the engineers of a replacement to the SDS 100 will come up with other improvements compatible with the SDS 100.
Now, I don't own a crystal ball. I seriously doubt you have/use one as well.
If you can read the future, tell me when you hit the lottery.
Thank you so much for you highly amusing response. Bravo, buddy.

You can probably cut the connectors to the bottom cell and use the battery at 2/3 of its capacity, like I have done, or even cut the middle cell too and run at 1/3 capacity as a spare battery when only using it at home and still have recording and other functions still working. All three cells are connected in parallel.

Three 3.7VDC 1800mAh cells in parallel for the larger battery pack. I imagine the smaller pack consists of two 3.7VDC 1800mAh cells connected in parallel? Or are the cells in the smaller pack rated at something less than 1800mAh?
