Hi guys.

Sorry to bother you. I have a question.

I want to buy an Xiaomi 65W GaN Charger; Output: 5V = 3A 15W, 9V = 3A 27W, 10V = 5A 50W, 12V = 3A 36W, 15V = 3A 45W, 20V = 3,25A 65W max

My default laptop charger is magsafe 2 85W: Output: 20V, 4.25A max - 85W.
Now i have an magsafe 2 60W: Output 16.5v, 3.65a - 60W. (bought few years ago and it is charging fine the laptop).

I want the xiaomi because of the small form factor. But i am concerned about the differences of amps especially.
It is safe for my macbook to use that xiaomi charger?

Thank you very much.

 

Hello there, welcome to AAC!
Your concerns are valid!

85W: Output: 20V, 4.25A max - 85W.
Now i have an magsafe 2 60W: Output 16.5v, 3.65a - 60W. (bought few years ago and it is charging fine the laptop).

Is it me or is everything getting kind of fuzzy or is it just your photo?
You provided the specifications for your chargers which I appreciate but I don't know what your MacBook
Voltage and current specification is for charging.

 

Hi, ty for your reply. Hah, maybe my photo.

model A1898. As the first charger: 20V, 4.25A

Just to play it safe I'm going to put my soda pop down. For safety reasons and reliability. Your MacBook pro is telling you it needs 20 volt @ 4.25 amp,
20 volts times 4.25 amps equals 85w(watts of power) I think you knew the answer already ,your gut feeling...go with it! and perhaps the inconvenience of a large form factor!
The small form factor could catch fire along with you! (with it) be safe.

 

Lols, you are the first person to tell the harsh truth. I kinda knew the answer but others are telling it is safe (friends/people of the internet).

From my knowledge, lower amps will always overheat and damage the charger over time.
Or worse, messing with specs and deliver unsafe power to the laptop -> damage it.
Or as you said, a fire/melted charger.
Thank you for your time kind sir.

 

You are very welcome!
And don't let anybody tell you different if they do bring them over here
