Hi I am currently using hp Spectre x360 late 2018, I am wondering if I can use a 35-45 wat charger instead of a 65 wats(come in the box) as I sometimes would run out of battery and I did not bring a charger and use others

I would not do that. So why can't you carry the 65w charger with you? Too big? HP generally provides the adapter you need and using an underpowered one risks damage to the laptop. Without knowing your model number I am not even sure it a smaller adapter is made that would work at all. The only thing I would use an underpowered adapter for is charging the battery with the laptop off. And it would have to have the right voltage and connector before you can use it at all.
