Using Different USB-C MacBook Power Adaptors Interchangeably

Hello,


I'm curious to know what the ramifications are (if any) when using USB-C power adaptors for MacBooks interchangeably.


For example, is it okay to use a power adaptor for a MacBook Pro 13-inch on a MacBook Air 13-inch, and so on? Or a MacBook Pro 15-inch power adaptor on a MacBook Air 13-inch?

Find the right power adapter and cable for your Mac notebook - Apple Support

"You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Mac notebook. You can use a compatible higher wattage power adapter without issue, but it won't make your computer charge faster or operate differently. If you use a power adapter that is lower in wattage than the adapter that came with your Mac, it won't provide enough power to your computer."
