You can always charge a battery with less current. Heck you can even not charge it (no current). But if the battery wants to charge with more current than the adapter can handle, the adapter might overload. If it's a good adapter it will just switch off. If it's a crappy one it might catch fire. So your choice.
At this point, the current going into the battery gradually decreases. When the current drops below a datasheet value, charging should be terminated. C/10 and C/30 are common charge termination current limits. When the battery is fully charged, the battery should be disconnected from the charger.
A standard charge on a datasheet is typically defined as 0.5 C, where C stands for capacity. This means that the charge current should be half the battery capacity. For a 2500 mAh cell, the standard charge current would be 1250 mA. The battery cell will have most of its charge when the battery voltage reaches 4.1 V or 4.2 V.
Leaving the battery connected to the charger will cause the battery to overcharge and will damage the battery. The 18650 is popular cylindrical lithium cell, with a capacity of 2500 mAh. The datasheet recommends a 1250 mA constant current charge, then 4.2 V constant voltage charge, and charge termination when the current drops to 50 mA.
The voltage needs to be less than the "gasification voltage" of your smaller battery. Again, if you just use a voltage regulator like an lm317 its burns off the extra voltage as heat so your conversion efficiency will suck. Now that your current and voltage are limited the smaller battery cannot be overcharged.
Overcharging a Li+ Battery by exceeding the charging voltage limit has an irreversible detrimental effect on its charge-retention ability. The combination of both factors imposes a tight tolerance on the charge voltage limit.
