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.

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. …More2517 of 3289 people found this useful

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

Does not stand up to heavy use
Written by RB from Houston
Dec 21, 2009
I had mine for just over 2 years and the pins in the end have worn out and they no longer make contact so it is time to buy a new one. This power supply is not designed to last forever and it will wear out and there is no aftermarket or knock that one can buy to replace it. Apple builds a computer to last forever but a power cord that isn't. My PC laptop died but the power cord is still good. Guess a 80 buck adapter is better than having to buy a new computer! …More

Works Great!
Written by SB from Adams

I bought my Mac a few months ago and love it!!! I love this power cord especially the feature that allows one to use the short cord or make it longer, this is awesome! My only complaint would be that the magnet detaches easily for the charging port. Other than that, mine cable is going strong, charging the computer, and I have it wound up around the holders, no problems. …More

The small plug (not the one on the power cord) is very easy to break.

What power cord adapter can we use for both a 13" Macbook and a 17" Macbook Pro?
- Asked by KP from SAINT LOUIS PARK
- Oct 8, 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
- Oct 7, 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
