I got my Macbook Air (M2, 2022) a few months ago, and it came shipped with a standard 30W adapter. I recently received a 67W adapter instead, and it does charge my laptop quite a bit faster.
Now I'm wondering, could this be damaging to my battery? As in, the lifespan of it? Should I stick to my 30W or is the 67W fine?
MacBook Air, macOS 13.5
