    If the Volts are the same (+- 5%) you can use a charger with *higher* Amperage or Wattage without problems. The laptop pulls only as many Amperes as it needs, so the more the Charger can give the better it is. It is physically impossible for the charger to push Amperes through it without changing the voltage, but the voltage is constant.
