IPad charger

[pedruid]

I bought a used Huawei G525 phone and want to know if I can use my iPad charger with it.?

You can, if you use the microUSB cable.

Isn't there an issue with amps?
My phone charger is output 5.0V, 0.85A while my iPad is 5.1V. 2.1A?
Don't think it would stop you, but wouldn't it be bad for the battery? (have absolutely no clue, would love to know as I've asked myself this many times).

Yes it's fine. The word "charger" is a bit misleading, kind of like the way we call traffic lights "robots". Wall wart (silly as it sounds) is a better name; it's just a DC power source.

It will only pull what is needed/supported by the phone

Plus, if the phone's able to use more current the higher amp charger will charge it much faster.
