Can anyone demystify USB C charger compatibility with my M1 Macbook Air?

[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1912456, member: 307555"] The Macbook air comes with a 35watt charger. The Lenovo is 65Watts and I believe the Anker hub is regulating the MBA's wattage plus allowing extra watts for any accessories plugged into it. The 65W directly plugged into the MBA, should not charge the MBA - too much Wattage. You can use a USB-C charger that is less than 35Watts but if it is plugged into the Anker hub it will most likely have trouble supplying enough wattage for anything else. Your MBA has built in protection so using the 65W plugged into the Anker hub won't hurt it. (Sorry, I added this as I decided I might not have answered your question clearly!) Lisa [/QUOTE]
