Looking For Suggestions Moto E6 XT2005 charger question

My charger and cable started getting really hot. I think the wall charger is going bad. I'm charging the phone on my PC with the cable and it seems to be charging. The cable is good. I wanted to buy a charger on Ebay. I found this one:

120W 4-Port USB C Fast Wall Charger Block For All Cell Phone iPad Lot

https://www.ebay.com/itm/187618560646?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=c23b41888187459f9c6e2e4a6b397124&bu=43184642115&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20260901210015&segname=11051

I asked the merchant and he says it will work with all micro USB.

I looked at this site for the Moto E6 XT2005 specs.
https://www.phonemore.com/specs/motorola/moto-e6/xt2005-3/

MicroUSB 2.0, 5W Wired charging. Default Moto E6 charger is 20 watts. This is 120W b/c it also supports USB C. Would it still be safe to use? I thought that even though it can supply 120W, the phone will one take the 5W that it needs and not burn it out?

Do you folks think this should work? Thanks!

Yes, a higher-wattage USB charger can be safe because the phone only draws the power it supports. The bigger concern is that this looks like a generic 120W charger with questionable quality/safety. If you're concerned about safety I’d skip it and buy a charger from a reputable brand instead.
