Using a 65w charger instead of 45w charger in dell inspiron 14 3493

I have a Dell inspiron 14 3493 model which used to run on 45w charger. But my adaptor got some lose connection problem on the end where it connects with laptop. I had some urgent work and right now I can afford only 65w charger from my nearby shop available. Can I use 65w charger instead of 45 w for my laptop or it would cause the damage of my battery?

The system will draw only as much power as it needs, so a 65W adapter in place of a 45 will work just fine with no risk to the battery or the system.

Make sure the replacement is OEM Dell -- otherwise, it likely won't charge the battery.
