Apple has discontinued the 61Watt power adapter. You can use the 70 watt (or even the 140 watt). Using a larger power adapter will not harm your MacBook Pro. It will not draw more power than it was designed to.


If still in doubt, see the following excerpt from the Compatibility section of 70W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple


  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016–2019)

Hard to say all detailed info source of Apple power adapter availability.

Several official model specs can easily interchange to work correctly.

"If you're not sure which model you have,

The higher spec adapters of same vintage may have shipped with 15-inch

MacBook Pro, as USB power-delivery was a newer standard; as these are

capable of matching demand of Apple Products; they never force-feed.

So a 61w power supply would naturally be superseded by other stock #s.


Overseas where 'third-party' independent resellers of official Apple parts

& accessories, may also be your primary source; they may do repairs too.
