An HTC brand car charger I bought for the Vogue is 5 volt 2 amp which is different than the OEM AC charger 5 volt 1 amp. Does this matter?

I ordered a car charger off ebay and it has the mini plug and it has no amps and voltages listed and it simply has a model number of HT 2125. Is this one safe for the Vogue?

How do I know which chargers are safe and which are not? Or am I being overly paranoid?
You are not "paranoid" just pull the battery out and check the label
if it says 5V DC=1A then use that one DO NOT USE a diferent one, you don`t want to fry the phone
