So, which charger do I need for my MacBook? Whatever the reason for replacement, we’ll tell you which charger you need, and how to find the information you need to figure it out. Maybe you left it in a coffee house (back when WFH was really WFStarbucks), and don’t even know the model number of the charger. That means replacements, and as Apple used proprietary connectors until recently, that means figuring out exactly which charger you had so you can get a new one. Whether it’s the cable near the connector fraying, the end near the power brick, or losing the connectors that plug into the wall, the charger is often the first thing to go. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.Ĭompatible only with MacBook Air featuring MagSafe 2 power port.It’s a pretty well-known fact that the chargers that come with MacBooks are nowhere near as hardy as the MacBook they come with. This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.ĭesigned 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. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up an amber light lets you know that your notebook is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.

It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. The 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Air stays put safely.
