AC chargers

I have 2 chargers for my Nokia phone: One is a Nokia that charges 500
mA and the other is a BS that charges at 800 mA. FYI, the batteries
being charged are Samya BL-4C which is rated at 550mAh and a Nokia BL-4C
which doesn't provide the info, however I have another old Nokia charger
(European style plug) that reads 800mAh.

Presumably the BS charging rate is slower. Difference in battery wear
and tear? Is there any harm in using a higher mAh rate, and if so, up
to what rate?

The Nokia BL-4C is a 720mah battery. You can use either charger.
The battery being charged will only take the current it needs as the
voltage between the two chargers is the same.
