Whether heading to the office, a friend's place, or a relative's home, we often don't carry our phone chargers, assuming a Type-C charger will be easily available. While we do manage to find a charger when the battery runs low, is it safe to use a different one? For instance, if your phone supports 18W fast charging but you use a 60W fast charger, what about safety?

Will a higher-wattage charger affect battery life?
According to information on Croma's official website, this is a common concern—a question that often crosses people's minds—regarding the use of a high-wattage (60W) charger for a lower-power (18W) device. Phones are designed with built-in safety features to manage the charging process; if the charger's power rating worries you, rest assured that it has no impact on your phone's battery life.

This is because chargers do not force electricity into the mobile battery. Instead, the smartphone draws current from the charger and consumes only the amount of power it requires. This means your 18W phone will charge at its intended speed, and the charger's higher wattage capacity will not shorten the battery's lifespan.

While a high-wattage (60W) charger is safe, the correct voltage is crucial for your phone's health. Most smartphones operate on standard voltage, so it is always advisable to use a charger that delivers the correct voltage for your specific device.
