Laptop Power Adapters & Chargers

Purchasing a MacBook Magsafe Cable

A Magsafe cable is required to safely operate your MacBook Pro. This cord not only charges and powers your device, but it also disconnects from your computer without causing damage to the connector, socket, or MacBook. On Electromagasin.com, you can obtain low-cost Magsafe adapters for your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.

What characteristics do Magsafe adapters have?

You don't have to bother with the cord to make sure it's aligned with a Magsafe cable. The connector's magnetic ring snaps into place on the power port, right side up or upside down, for a quick and secure connection. Here are a few advantages:

• Disconnection for safety: When something generates excessive strain, detach immediately.
• The battery is always charged, whether the laptop is turned on, off, or in sleep mode.
• Allows you to use your notebook without a battery: Allows you to use your notebook without a battery.
• Less likelihood of the cord fraying and activating a weak charge with a durable cord.
• Displayed charging status: Charge state is indicated through indicator lights (green for a full charge, amber for charging)

What are the different varieties of Magsafe cables?

The Magsafe cable comes in two versions, as well as a Magsafe airline adaptor. The original Magsafe connector is compatible with previous MacBook Pro notebooks (2009-2012), however those released after 2012, such as the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the MacBook Air, need the Magsafe 2 charger. Some distinctions include:

• The Magsafe 1 brick is a larger brick.
• T-style cords - When the cord is pulled downward, it disconnects.
• If the cord is dragged down, forward, or backward, the L-style cable will detach.
• The notebook is powered by the airline adaptor, but the battery is not charged.

Magsafe cables are used by which devices?

Magsafe cables are compatible with MacBook computers manufactured prior to 2012. A 60W charger is required for the 13-inch MacBook Pro, while an 85W charger is required for the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro machines. A 45W Magsafe II cable is also used on MacBook Air versions. Keep in mind that with lower-powered notebooks, you may need to utilize a higher wattage. It will not, however, result in a speedier charge. Each cord's voltage output is as follows:

• 45W - Provides 14.5V electricity
• 16.5 volts at 60 watts
• 85W - Provides 18.5 volts to MacBook Pro 15-inch and 17-inch notebooks and 20 volts to MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina notebooks.

What is the purpose of a Magsafe adapter?

Magsafe adapters, which were released in 2006 alongside the MacBook Pro, include a magnetic connector that prevents laptops from tipping over if someone trips over the cord. The cord will automatically detach from the port if it is yanked accidently. As a result, the laptop stays on its surface and the cord is undamaged.
