Using 130W charger instead of 65W

I have got Dell Inspiron 1525, which came with a  65W Charger.

The charger is damaged, so can i charge it with 130W Charger i got with my other laptop (XPS 15).

Does charging with high power charger effects the laptop in anyway ( motherboard or battery or anything else? )

Thanks in advance

There are no issues doing this.  I personally Buy the 150W adapters because the 65 and 90w adapters get too hot.

But i called up dell customer care and they told me it could harm the motherboard.

It won't - the system will only draw as much power as it needs.  Using an underpowered supply is problematic.  A higher capacity one is just fine.
