Overview

The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.

When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector will light; an amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives users an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.

This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.

Compatible with MacBook Pro.

    Meltdown

    My mag connector cord melted as well and became unusable. Apple stores have none available and the on=line info indicates 6 or more weeks delivery. Apple really needs to address this issue. …More

    Meltdown after 9 months

    Written by JT from Grosse Pointe Park

    12/08/2007

    I am and have been very protective of all parts of my MacBook Pro, but recently the junction of the MagSafe tip and the cord to the main power unit has begun to melt and fray. This has rendered my MacBook Pro nearly unusable, as I have no way to charge it.

    I hope this unit has been redesigned to safely carry the 85w of power without destroying the unit.     …More

    AC adapter meltdown

    Written by EC from New York

    29/07/2007

    Hmmm...the computer is 15 months old and exactly 13 months in use. Tender, loving care has been provided, and the adapter never leaves the house.....however, base connecting point of the AC adapter's nifty magnetic head just started to smell of melted rubber; now it is looking melted and i can see the wires inside! Sure enough it will stop working shortly! Should i buy a new one? sigh. …More

    Horrible product but no other option

    Written by YK from West New York

    6/12/2009

    Horrible design. Power cord becomes so hot it burns the skin and then it melts the rubber to expose the wires. Once wires are exposed, they get severed and cease to work; hence, you have to buy a new one. …More

    Built to break?

    Written by VL from SAINT CHARLES

    4/12/2009

    I've had my Macbook Pro for a few months and the Magsafe Adapter is tearing itself apart. It is great that it keeps my laptop safe from getting yanked off the table, but I can't help but feel this thing is built to break. In order to wind the cable around the L shaped supports as neatly as described and shown in all the product pictures, you have to wind it perfectly tight. Doing this, however, puts the cable under constant stress which, coupled with the heat, causes the connection to the power box to come loose and expose bare wire. I am shocked now to find that it costs so much to replace, and that I am unlikely to qualify for a replacement due to unrelated accidental damage. …More
