Looking to get another charger for my MacBook Pro (13" Late 2015).
On this thread, Kappy says I should not use a 60W charger while operating a MacBook Pro:

However, I think the charger that came with my MacBook Pro was a 60W. Could I be mistaken about that?
In buying another charger, should I definitely get the 85W?

The 85W is a good way to go. It can power through to charge accessories.
And I located the newer example here.

[These can vary by era/vintage of MacBook build model yr. Older, MagSafe1.]
..Given date of manufacture as being 2015, your 13-in Mac would use MagSafe2..
An official Apple extension cable option replaces the duck-head, with 3-wire cable.
Hi,
It is recommended to use the charger which same Watt as comes with your MacBook Pro, so I think you should get 60W charger.
You can use 85W charger, though you shouldn't expect faster charging.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Some weird stuff has happened since I got a 2nd charger, 85W (the one that came with my MacBook Pro 13" Late 2015 was 60W) - light on connection is usually orange or blank instead of green, battery now says "Service Battery". However, I don't know if this is because it's an old laptop, not because of the 85W charger?
