So I have a nook classic, a samsung note 8, and a samsung brand cellphone. All of them charge through a micro usb port. All three of them came with different chargers. I noticed that the electric current output is different. The cellphone charger says 0.7 amps, the nook says 0.85 amps, and the samsung tablet says 2.0 amps. All have the same voltage output of 5v.

Now, I'm thinking that I could use any of these chargers on any of my devices because the amount of voltage is identical. But, I am thinking that this could also pose a fire hazard, if I were to use the lowest current charger on my highest current device.

Am I taking a risk with my devices? Am I risking a fire if I swap different chargers for different devices?
