Glad you said it GeoffR.
It is completely beyond me why you would charge via USB when the charger does it in 90ish minutes compared with overnight (approx. 8 hours).
'Raises hand' ... so I pretty much exclusively charge my Z6 batteries via USB C.
The answer? Convenience.
I pretty much exclusively use the camera with the MB-N10 grip, so have 2 EN-EL15b batteries inside it. I do carry a couple of EN-EL15a spares if I expect to be doing a lot of filming, but mostly the two in the grip are just fine.
I have a lot of tech so the main chargers I use are fast USB-C PD ones, and they are always plugged in, I don't keep chargers like the dedicated Nikon one plugged in. So at the end of the day, I plug the camera into a USB C charger, leave it overnight, and both batteries are good to go the next day. If moving between locations and expecting a long day of shooting, I'll plug in a USB C cable from my backpack that I have a powerbank in too, giving me a nice little boost if needed.
