Default different current transformer safe to use?

The battery won't explode: The inadequate power supply will probably
overheat and may be a fire hazard. If you're lucky, it will just fail.

If you exceed its current requirements, it may also not regulate the
voltage properly and may damage your laptop.

I have a ac charger for my laptop that is 19V and 6A
I also have an ac charger that is not made for my laptop, but is 19V
and 3A
Is it safe to use the second charger with my laptop, or will the
battery explode, killing me and those I hold dearest?
Cheers in advance!
