So you dont know the answer?
I have looked at apple and that is why I am on the Community.


I see, you want a yes or no.


Yes—I have provided the answer to your question ever step of the way. I am at a loss what is the confusion.


Will it work yes. The only difference is watts, they are interchangeable, yes. Your Mac will never overcharge. The consequence of a lower wattage charger on a machine that specs for a higher wattage is it will charge slower—is it harmful no. Using a higher wattage charger on a mac that specs out for a lower wattage charge—no downside, that Mac regulates the input— so no harm. The less the wattage charger the less they cost—this is a difference. To your question about your magsafe2 connector—there is NO difference. None. Exactly the same. If you are still in doubt revisit the graphics presented above.
