Overview
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 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro.

Meltdown after 9 months
Written by JT from Grosse Pointe Park
11-Aug-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. …More2507 of 3273 people found this useful

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

Just like everyone else. I have to say it took some abuse and still lasted just over 3 years. I guess it's just time for a new one. Is there a better after market design? …More

Wires Exposed
Written by AW from Wellesley
7-Dec-2009
I've had my Macbook Pro and the charger for 3.5 years, but a few months ago the wires became exposed. I covered them with electrical tape and that bought me a few months, but it didn't stop the inevitable. The wires get so hot that the casing melted completely off and now my wires are not functioning properly. It happened only a few months after my Extended Apple Care ran out. Coincidence? I've had a few experiences where products break right after the 3 years insurance runs out...I would be wary with these products. …More

What power cord adapter can we use for both a 13" Macbook and a 17" Macbook Pro?
- Asked by KP from SAINT LOUIS PARK
- 8-Oct-2009
Best Answer
You can use a 85w adapter for both, because the MacBook can have the voltage regulated from 85w down to 60 for it to be compatible. You can NOT use the 60w on the MacBook pro. So just get the 85w for both. :) …More

Best Answer
This charger is for the 13" MacBook/MacBook Pro, *not* the 15" or 17" MacBook Pros which use an 85W adapter. While you can use the 85W adapter on a 13" MacBook/Pro, you cannot use the 60W adapter on the 15" or 17" MacBook Pros. …More

Is the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter dual voltage?
- Asked by KP from NEW YORK
- 7-Oct-2009
Best Answer
You will need a different attachment (but *not* a voltage converter) similar to the "duck prong" (2-prong plug) in the item's picture.
The easiest way to do this is to buy the "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit". This contains all the adapters you should ever need.
Just take off the two prong plug and snap on the adapter. …More- Answered by RH from Star City
