Hello, I have a 2020 MBA. I want to use it connected to a monitor whilst It’s shut so clamshell mode. In this setting it would be connected to an anker usb c adapter so the hdmi cable can go in.

In this particular setting, does it matter what charger you use? what I mean is, a usb c cable will be connected to the anker adapter to feed in power. (Do I make sense?). i have a i think a 45w charger for my work Lenovo and I don’t want to keep changing plugs if I use this set up and change the computers but wanted to check.
Basically does it matter if a non Apple charger being used for power? Particularly if going through an adapter?
thanks!
