We are taking a month-long trip with several electronic devices - all of which take the same charging input port. However the outputs are different from the wall (as an example one of them is 5 V .5 amp, and another 5.2 V 1.35 amp.) Can I consolidate charging cables and take only one? Lower voltage and amperage for safety but longer charging times?

The fact that a charger is rated for e.g. 1.35A does not mean that it will output 1.35A to a device "asking" for only 0.5A. On the other hand, a device requiring 1.35A charging current might not even "sense" the 0.5A charger.

So - I would take the more powerful charger (and I would make sure the other devices charges as well before leaving home).
