Q: Which charger should I use with my iPhone SE

I recently purchased an iPhone SE from Verizon and it came with the earbuds and charger.  I need to purchase an automotive charger for this phone as I use it in my work truck and I have read several search results concerning which mobile charger I should use.  Some say to not use anything over a 1 amp charger and other forums state I can use a 2.4 amp charger as the phone will automatically adjust the charging rate.  I would like to get a good straight answer as to which mobile charger I can safely use to charge my phone without hurting the battery.  Thank you for any feed back on this.

    That is correct as long as the output of the charger is 5 volts. I have found products from Anker quite good although there are many reputable brands on the market.
