Using a higher-output charger

[Iria]

Would it be bad for the battery if I were to use a higher output charger? Most are 1 amp, some as low as 500 milliamps, but iPad compatible ones are 2 amps and that would translate to a faster recharge, but would it also translate to damaging the battery or lowering the recharge cycles?

Nope. Your device will draw what it needs. In general, the more current, the faster the charge.

I have noticed that using different amperage chargers will allow it to charge, however if you try to use it while plugged in you may experience some quirks.

I have a couple of different chargers that I use (home, work, car). The one I have at work (5.0V, 550 mA) will charge my D1, but if I try to type while it is charging it seems like the screen doesn't register all of the taps/swypes. Unplug it and it works fine. No permanent damage, just something to be aware of in case something feels weird while you are charging.
