I ordered an extra charger - one to stay at my desk and one to come with me on the go.
It's a 15" 2018 Macbook Pro and it came with a 87w. Unfortunately I ordered a 61w charger. Can I use this lower wattage charger safely?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12
Try exchanging it for an adapter for one of appropriate wattage.
Quote:
Power adapters for Mac notebooks are available in 29W, 30W, 45W, 60W, 61W, 85W, 87W, and 96W varieties. 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.

Can I use a 61w charger on my Macbook Pro which came with a 87w?
