350mAh vs 700mAh

I have two products with Micro USB chargers (which is now the standard I hear). The chargers have different mAh ratings on them and I was wondering if that could cause damage if I used one charger for both products.

Forgive my electronic stupidity, did a little Google searching and only could find that mAh stood for Milli Amp Hour.


Thanks for your help everyone.

IIRC, most modern electronics will only sip so much current. So, if they are expecting 350mA and instead get 700 mA, they will still only feed at 350mA.
 
mAh is a capacity, and shouldn't really be a spec on a charger... only for a battery. If you mean mA that's one thing, but mAh doesn't make any sense.
 
It could mean that the charger's automatic circuitry can handle batteries up to 700 mAh. Sometimes we get wierd trabslations from Chinese to Enlish. 🙂
