Is it safe to charge my iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.3V / 2.5A battery pack?

I have a 13,000mAh mobile charger with two usb outputs. One with 5.3V / 1A, the other with 5.3V / 2.5A

is it safe to charge my iPhone 6 Plus with the larger output or should I avoid it? Thanks!

The USB spec says that a USB port must provide 5 volts +- 0.5 volts, or 4.5 volts to 5.5 volts. So 5.3 volts is OK and within spec. As Rudegar says, the current is irrelevant as long as it is at least 1 amp. More is better, up to 1.6 amps for a 6 series phone. Above 1.6 won't do any harm, but won't help either. BTW, the max that a 5 or earlier iPhone can use is 1 amp. Again, more won't hurt, but won't help either.
