I have a MacBook Pro 13" with the 61W USB‑C Power Adapter (of which I have several). I have ordered a MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro with 10-core CPU) which comes with a 96W USB‑C Power Adapter.

Can I use my 61W USB‑C Power Adapter to safely (will it overheat?) charge my new MacBook Pro 14", I appreciate charging will be slower? Also, will using a lower rated adapter impact on the battery?

Thanks in advance.

well you can,

but yes it will be slower and may not be able to keep up with the demand...
