Re: charging phone

As long as the voltage/amps are the same, there should be no problem.

Re: charging phone

the voltz have to be the same. the current is like the water pressure doesn't matter what it is, just more will do the job quicker. of course the device will only draw as much current(mah) as needed.

Voltage is the potential difference. I.e. EMF

I = V/R

I is the current and is the dependent variable. Now a bigger charger will maintain a more constant voltage under load which might mean the battery initially charges faster.

Your phone is the load (Resistance) and the Voltage is provided by the charger. Transformer theory brings in a few more equations but for all practical purposes, the phone should charge the same.
