Which power adapter to use?

I've seen this posted in other forums and many times the response has been that it doesn't matter because the device/battery is "smart" enough to know how much power to draw from the power adapter. Thought I'd float it past everyone since there are a lot of peeps with a new device that might have the same question:

Will it matter which one of my power adapters I plug my OE into?
1) OE Adapter = 5.0V, 0.85A
2) OV Adapter = 5.1V, 0.70A
3) CM Touchpad Adapter = 5.3V, 2.00A

TIA
 
I've been using my OV charger on the Elite with no problems. I occasionally used my Kindle Fire charger for the V. A small difference in voltage does not matter. The battery's charging circuitry determines how much current it can draw, so using a higher amperage charger won't hurt. Using a lower amperage one will result in longer charge time but no damage. A computer USB port puts out 5 volts +/- 5%.
