MBP 13" charger for MBP 16".

[HarryPot]

Hi, I'm receiving today a new MBP 16", and I was wondering, would my old MBP 13" charger work even a little?
Or would it be impossible to charge the 16" with it?

I know it's not ideal, but frequently I forget my charger at the office, and having at least a functional backup at home would be nice.


Thanks!

Assuming you're talking about a USB-C 60W charger, it will work. However, you'll get slower charging speed overall and battery drain when the machine is under load.

Thanks!

Yes, it is a USB-C charger.

If the plug fits, it works.

I’m using my old 15” charger with my new 16” I guess it just charges slower but I don’t care and I never use it so intensely that I have battery drain. Maybe it happened once for a few minutes while I was exporting a video, but when I’m working I never use the CPU and GPU too much for extended periods of time
