Can the Blade handle a 1000mA charger?

[Guest Meizirkki]

Yes it can. I have charged my Blade with 2,6 A charger and have had no problems at all. The charging isn't any faster though, it seems Blade has a good control over the batter charging.

The phone will only draw what it needs so you could have a 5000mA charger and it wouldn't damage the phone because the phone would only take the 700mA (or whatever it's maximum is) from it. The charger mA number is the maximum amount it can output, it doesn't mean it only outputs at that rate.

It is safe to use it for your Blade.

Great, thanks to all of you!

Come here little Blade, don't be afraid, I'm not going to fry you. This time.

Actually, AFAIK, the Blade's max is 1200mA :P

Is that in the tech specs? And I assume it doesn't charge any faster with anything over 700mA, right?

Shouldn't be a problem as others have said. I have a slight suspicion using an HTC charger (1A) miscalibrated my battery - the subsequent charge drained much faster than usual, seemingly, and when I charged it powered off, it then stayed at 100% for about half an hour of web-browsing use before losing even 1% (which is unusual, and implies the battery is reporting 100% until it actually hits about 90%).

However, that could just as easily have been caused by a combination of a badly behaving app for the quick-draining charge, coupled with an initially badly calibrated battery.

But as to whether it damages the phone, it shouldn't do; different voltages might well, but current is another story.
