When I checked later I found the samsung charger has an output of 0.7A while the one we used as a spare was 1.0A.

Is there a problem using chargers of different outputs or can the phone cope with an increase like that (didn't show a problem and charged properly!)

I have looked at others and they have an output of 0.6A etc. Could I use one of lower output perhaps?
