Is it safe to use a 2A supply to charge my Gamebuino?

I kind of assumed it wouldn't like that... After all, my Kindle is not happy with more than 650 mA. I would like the faster charging times, though, for the rare occasion that I need to charge it. (freaking amazing battery life)

A 2A supply is capable of supplying 2A, acutally it's a 5V regulated output. The charge speed of the Gamebuino is limited to avoid heating of the battery, so a more capable power supply won't make it charge faster. Although is should charge in 2-3 hours and last 12-24 hours !
