in an emergency, it is better than nothing. it will not cause damage, but you may see the charge level decline in actual use. When you can, power off your Mac and let it (slowly) charge back up.

As that article suggests, around 100 Watts is the normal size for that Mac, or 140 W if you want to fast charge.
