Recommended charger size (watts) for charging Quest 3

Given the included 18w charger takes a long time to charge the Quest 3, can we get a higher wattage charger to get it done sooner. 

What the highest accepted charge wattage and is there a downside to the faster charging?

Thoughts??

      Can the Quest 3 actually make use of the 45w?
      Or will it still charge at 9V, so at best 27W? That's if it can even do 9V 3A.
      (The headset it self, not the dock.)

      Support told me they recommend 45w if you're using the charging dock so it has reserve capacity to do the headset and both controllers at the same time.
