Using a 29w charger to charge 2017 MacBook Pro?

[Jades]

i am using the 2015 MacBook currently which came with the 29w USB-C charger. I also purchased 2 extra charging adapters due to my mobility. Will I need to replace the 29w with the 61w or should I be ok?

I’m not too worried about a super fast charge rate by using half the wattage. I just want to make sure it will work, since apparently i read somewhere that it “will not” work, which I don’t really believe

Thanks!

A correlating question: Can one use the 61w charger from a MBP with a Macbook? Or will iut cause some sort of damage?

U can. The charge logic is in the OS-device not in the charger.

U can use any USB C charger from all brands not only Apple.

Same as before with USB A chargers on iPhones and iPads

Thanks for this. My wife has a 2016 rMB and my son and I respectively have 2016 and 2017 ntb MBP's. Glad to know we can charge any of them with each of our chargers without damage. Thanks!!!

Seconding the poster above. It'll work fine. USB-C is crazy awesome, in my opinion. I've used external batteries (15W) and iPad chargers (10W) to prolong the battery charge during the day.
