Googling "usb charging current" provides some interesting articles including:

They usually talk about faster charging as if that little bit of convenience would be
everyone's goal. They seldom mention how it can reduce the lifetime of the battery.
All batteries (in civilian hands) have problems with heat in general and very high
temperatures can be a killer. Li Batteries have a special history with regards to
heat management and it's not pretty.

I'll trade the extra time charging for a longer lasting battery.

The brands do their own thing with little regard for the standards, Apple & Blackberry
would take some looking at before I would use one of theirs. If they are reasonably
close to the spec. then there should be no problem.
