You can use a mini-USB charger for Motorola phones. Something like this: http://www.duracell.com/en-US/product/powerhouse-usb-charger.jspx.

 

From what I've read, if you you want to use the Edge while this is plugged in (i.e. as an extended battery, rather than a charger) it must be designed for Motorola phones. The pin arrangement for other phones makes the Edge think it's connected to a PC so it goes into PC mode and you can't use it. It may, however, still charge in this state - I'm not sure.
