Use the following support document to determine the charger required for your specific model / year of MacBook Pro.

The A1398 model number you provided corresponds to a number of different Macs from 2009 all the way to 2015, but based on the CPU and speed, you probably have a mid 2014 or mid 2015 model, so the 85 Watt Magsafe 2 charger is what you are looking for:
