Chargers compatible w/ MacBook Pro 13

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 13 in need of a new charger. Should I stick with the one offered originally with 61W or can I safely use one w/ 118W?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Phil0124 is correct.

Here’s the official /anything with USB-C PD will work/ info, including best using a power supply with at least as much wattage supplied as the original charger provided with the Mac:

You can safely use higher rated chargers. It won't significantly reduce the charge time, but there is no harm in using them.
