I used to do something similar for my iPhone (using the iPad charger to charge it faster)
Does anyone use the 85 w charger to charge the 13" MBP? OS so thoughts?

I can't say whether there is any long term damage to the battery but I've used a 15" charger before on my 13" Macbook and everything seemed to be OK. it's only 20W higher so i cant see it doing anything bad.

I'm not seeing an issue with interchanging the charger with different size MBP's. My family shares one power block with 2 13" models that are two year models apart and a 15" model that is in between the two. Everything runs fine and charges normally. None of the devices are complaining about it. Note I've not examined any system logs or diagnostics to see if it was complaining, but if I would think a system alert would pop up if it had a major problem.
