Yes, you can use a 45W charger to charge a 25W phone. Your phone will only draw the amount of power that it needs, so using a 45W charger will not damage your phone’s battery. In fact, it may even charge your phone faster than a regular 25W charger.

Here’s how it works:

The charger outputs a certain amount of power, measured in watts (W).
The phone’s battery has a maximum charging rate, also measured in watts.
The phone will only draw the amount of power that it needs from the charger.

So, if you use a 45W charger with a 25W phone, the phone will only draw 25W of power from the charger. The extra 20W of power will be wasted, but it will not damage your phone.

In fact, using a 45W charger with a 25W phone may actually charge your phone faster than a regular 25W charger. This is because the 45W charger can provide more power to the phone, which can speed up the charging process.

However, it is important to note that charging your phone too quickly can also damage the battery. It is best to use a charger that is designed for your specific phone model.

Here are some additional tips for using a 45W charger with a 25W phone:

Only use the 45W charger when you are in a hurry. It is best to use a regular 25W charger whenever possible.
If you are using the 45W charger for an extended period of time, keep an eye on your phone’s temperature. If it starts to feel hot, unplug it from the charger.
Do not use a damaged charger. A damaged charger can pose a fire hazard.
