macbook pro 13 retina with 45 watt charger

Hey guys i just recently purchased a late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" and realized that it came with a 45 watt charger.

My Question is, will this be okay to use without damaging my Pro?

I have a 2011 macbook air and also just found out that i've been using a 60 watt charger on it, but the chargers are both different.

So I can't interchange them for use... Don't really want to buy an $80 dollar charger when this 45 magsafe2 runs fine on my Pro.

Any advice is gladly appreciated, thank you in advance.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Power Adapter/ cord wattage

Section: General information

“Power adapters for Apple notebooks are available in 29W, 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Apple notebook. You can use a compatible higher wattage adapter without issue, but it won't make your computer charge faster or operate differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power.”
