Yup. Usually the device being charged can scale down the power throughput so it's not getting 60W+ if it's not able to handle it.

Usually

Is there some exception to USB-C im not aware of? Am i putting myself in danger using high power chargers to charge low power devices?

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

No, they do a handshake through the USB connection and negotiate the best charging wattage.

And to add : if the handshake fails, or no common voltage can be decided, it will stay at 5v

If you use really cheap 3rd party chargers there is a possibility.
