I wonder if I can use stronger charger (with higher current) to use with my N900. I am thinking about AC-60 by Nokia (1500 mA). Could it be dangerous for my phone or battery?

But, they may support Qualcomm Quickcharge standards despite the phone only coming with a basic 5V USB charger. Quickcharge bumps the voltage up to as much as 20V and current to 3A if you have a compatible charger.

Not entirely true.
Quite a few phones these days come with a 'standard' charger that's rated at 5V 1A or 1.5A or whatever and the phone will only draw that.

Yes, so true but this is a non-standard extension which is not compatible with USB 2.x specification. (IDK about USB3, maybe that's incorporated there...?)
Luckily there's a protocol between the charger and device for negotiating the supported charging parameters, the newer chargers are not going to blindly push up the voltage to the high limit
