I am looking for a second charger for the 16 inch MBP. Will go for a 3rd party charger (used as a spare)
I found 60W/87W on amazon but none with the wattage of orig charger from apple.

Would 60W charger be ok? or go with 87W?

Any recommendations?
 
I carry a 60W USB-C charger with me. It charges my MBP, iPad Pro, S10+, etc. with the USB-C cables I also have. One of the great things about USB-C is the device, cable, and charger work together to determine the charge rate. This makes the 60W charger a relatively universal charging solution.

The only downside of 60W I have experienced is the MBP will drain its battery slowly when the system is under high load. But, my workflow has bursts. And when I am doing light tasks like web browsing and mail, the battery state of charge increases and reaches 100%.
