I can't imagine why it would burn up. it looks like a simple metal/plastic thing.
The voltage rating is about insulation. You actually have quite a bit of safety margin in the voltage rating.
The amp rating is a real limit and exceeding it by too much will cause it to burn up but when you go to higher voltages you have lower amperage and thus this is a non-issue.
I also have one of those in my bag.
