I'm experimenting with a Pi for my first time, and didn't want to deal out another 10 bucks for a charger, so I looked in my "charger bin" and found a micro USB phone charger that's 5.1 V instead of the recommended 5? I know NOTHING about this kind of stuff, so I was just wondering if .1V would break my precious Pi! Thank!
Will a 5.1V (700mA) charger work in my Raspberry Pi?

5.1V is within 5% (4.75-5.25V) so it should be fine as long as the Pi does not require more than 700mA.
