The vector and pseudoscalar decay constants are calculated in the framework of the Field Correlator Method. Di-electron widths: Γee(J/ψ)=5.41 keV, Γee(ψ′(3686))=2.47 keV, Γee(ψ′′(3770))=0.248 keV, in good agreement with experiment, are obtained with the same coupling, αs=0.165, in QCD radiative corrections. We show that the larger αs=0.191±0.004 is needed to reach agreement with experiment for Γγγ(ηc)=7.22 keV, Γγγ(χ(3P0))=3.3 keV, Γγγ(χ(3P2))=0.54 keV, and also for Γ(J/ψ→3g)=59.5 keV, Γ(J/ψ→γ2g)=5.7 keV. Meanwhile even larger αs=0.238 gives rise to good description of Γ(ψ′→3g)=52.7 keV, Γ(ψ′→γ2g)=3.5 keV, and provides correct ratio of the branching fractions: B(ψ′→lighthadrons)B(J/ψ→lighthadrons)=0.24.
