USB Type-C laptop charger for a phone?

[zmak]

Hey,

 

As usb type-c is getting more popular i got this question, that i cannot find an answer...

I have Xiaomi mi notebook with usb type-c charger. On charger there are his output specifications: 5v - 2a / 12v - 2a / 15v - 3a / 9v - 2a / 20v - 3.25a 65W max

So, i now that usb 2.0 has 5v passing over it, knowing that type-c is backward compatible (as i understand there are different types of it, that meets specifications of usb 2.0, 3.0 ant etc.). If i understand correctly, because power adapter can supply  5v i can connect to it any usb 2.0 device? And theoretically if i have phone power adapter with type-c i can connect to pc and it just won't charge, because power voltage will be to low, but both devices will not be damaged?

Because i think that creators of type-c has thought about all people that doesn't bother to look into specifications before connecting things...

should work.

The charger regulates it's own output.

 

My Lenovo laptop charger outputs both 20V / 2A and 5.2V / 2A.

 

So I can charge both my phone and laptop off the same brick.

 

It will work.
