using a 17' mbp charger on 13' mbp

[rickieschelfo]

is it ok to use a 17' mbp charger on a 13' mbp or vice versa? what would happen if you do?

My wife has a 13' and I have a 17'. I didn't realize there was a difference in the chargers so therefore I am sure they were switched and used on the wrong mbp more than once in the past 18 months!

I have to buy a new one and wonder if one is ok for both?

Yes, it will work. No, it won't explode!

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:

Thanks for your reply. I just had 2 chargers go bad within the last month and both are less than 18 months old!
