If this was wall charger included with Neo then you can drop it (charger)
to trash - it is useless as Neo cannot get more then 100mA from it which
is not enough for charging.

Get Nokia BL-5C battery from Nokia 1600/2100/3200 and power Neo with it.
Then flash newest u-boot, insert Neo battery and connect to USB port in
desktop or powered hub.
You can also use 3rdparty charger for Nokia BL-5C batteries to charge Neo
battery. It has to be 3rdparty dumb-as-possible because it is not
compatible with Nokia ones so each Nokia will refuse to charge it.
