It works fine with MacBook Pro but it won't charge the battery as fast as the 85W one. And I find that if my MBP is running all out, it may say it's not charging at all.

I'm not sure whether it's strong enough to run it without battery, but I've used MB chargers for my MBP many times to charge it and it's been fine. It takes longer it seems, but works. It shouldn't harm your MBP as it is less powerful, but I'd be careful about doing in the other way around, using a MBP charger for an MB.

thanx Boss,
it works fine as a charger but itdidnt work without the battery, which is not an issue.

Actually using a bigger power supply shouldn't hurt.
The fact that it stops charging when the CPU is churning then goes back counts as another charge cycle.
If you push the CPU to that limit, refrain from using it.

The concept is you have a set number of cycles (lets say 500), so every time you connect the charger counts as 1 cycle.
