It will work for short periods of time.

The general rule is related to the voltage output. On most transformers
you should not exceed the output voltage by more than 5 percent.
Exceeding the amperage will shorten the life of the unit, but I don't
have the amperage limitations handy. However, I would think a jump from
3.36 A to 4.5 A would be excessive for long term use, and would
certainly affect the life of those very expensive batteries. Probably
would affect the life of the computer, as a lot more heat would be
generated and heat is the killer of computer parts.
