96W Power Adapter for a MacBook Pro 15 inch?

I just bought a 96W Power Adapter because the shop told me that I can use it for my MacBook Pro 15 inch. Is that true? Or do I have to return it for another one?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.6

The 96 watt power adapter is fine.

15" MacBook Pros originally shipped with 85 or 87 watt power adapters but a larger power adapter such as the 96 watt are fine and won't harm your MacBook Pro. It won't draw more power than it is designed to.
