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 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro.

    Meltdown

    Written by MM from NAPLES

    Aug 5, 2007

    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

    Aug 11, 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

    Jul 28, 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

    POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE POWER ADAPTER

    Written by DI from GLEN BURNIE

    Nov 4, 2009

    After only 12 months of use I noticed the cord coming out of the shrink tube near the head of the cord. It appears less than 1/8th of the cord was inserted into the shrink tubing making it easy to pull out; along with the heavy outlet connector, the power cord is quite below standards in quality and should be upgraded. …More

    Roughly 6 months and cord already falling apart

    Written by JM from Lithia

    Nov 3, 2009

    I bought my laptop brand new from the Mac store and have taken very good care of it. After every use, I would unfold the two clasps on the charger, wind up the cord, and store it in my case. Well I had to stop winding the cord up because at the base the rubber cording started to pull out and the wires were exposed. This started happening within 6 months of purchasing my Mac. …More

    Power Adapter stopped working

    Written by ZH from WESTPORT

    Oct 31, 2009

    Power Adapter (85W Model A1222) for MacBook Pro stopped working. Love the laptop but the failure rate seems to be a real problem judging by reviews. Covered under warranty but the repeat failures posted in the forum concern me. In the past I've had 3-4 different ThinkPads but decided to give Apple a try after my latest T61p from Lenovo didn't seem to have the reliability of the earlier machines. Still..... I have a 5 year old ThinkPad with it's original power adapter never a problem. Even the newer Lenovo ThinkPads have the power adapter working without issues (90W model). …More
