I'm going to stick with 5V, avoid 5.2V, buy the 15W (5V 3A) charger, not buy the multivolt charger I mentioned, and continue to read up on this stuff.  Cool.

Thanks for your help!

I would use the Moto E4 or Apple A1401 charger you mentioned. I'm totally sure, the 5,2V Output will not damage anything. They are designed for that use. No charger provides exactly 5V and the Voltage will decrease under load anyway. But it's your decision.

Edit:
