Chargers in parallel

[Ben]

I'm not sure if I can put two cellular phone chargers output in
parallel, to charge faster my phone.
I know there are more powerfull charges availables, so my phone should
be able to use the power, but I have just twt 400 mAh chargers instead
one 1 A charger.

Thanks in advance,
Ben

That is a poor idea for a few reasons.
The ones that occur soonest to me are:
1. The issues with fast charging are only tangentially
related to available power. The primary problem
is charging the battery fast without damaging it at
or near the completion of charging. That is often
addressed with various kinds of "intelligence",
(implemented in software and/or analog circuitry),
which is unlikely to work right when two chargers
are contending with each other.
2. It is not clear that an unknown charger design
will anticipate your hookup and that the device
will survive it. I would guess it might, depending
on where that "intelligence" is located, but I see
no reason for certainty.

Thanks in advance,
You're wecome in retrospect.

Does your homeowner's policy cover fire damage?

I am not sure either - but I would like a video of this.
