Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter (MD592LL/A)

I lost my charger so I thought instead of ordering a cheap one through Ebay I got an original I phone charger. Well it helped to charge but any outlet or USB I attach it to says " charging is not supported with this accessory" I would of liked for this product not to have a faulty message on my phone but oh well. So i guess i should of payed less money at Ebay for a cheep one and still had the same result.

If you are having problems with your power cable, you know it is a necessary feature for a laptop computer. Check your existing power supply to verify the 45W rating; there are several different ones available in the store. It is essentially separate two parts: you can plug the "wall wart" directly into an outlet, or use the provided extension cord that plugs into the area housing the prongs. I think the magnetic connectors are a good idea; that way you don't damage the smaller cable when moving the computer while plugged in to a power outlet. Apple products are pricey, but they are made well (and compatible with Mac laptops of course). If this fixes your problem, it's money well spent.

I bought this because my laptop would no longer charge. My thinking was that my charger was broken. The new charger fixed the issue, but after my old charger sat unplugged for a few days I thought I'd try it one last time, and suddenly my original charger worked again. I had no use for 2 chargers, especially at almost $100 a pop, so I returned my purchase. After reading on some Apple forums, this is a seemingly well known thing. leaving a charger unplugged for a few days can help reset whatever is wrong with them SOMETIMES. In my case it worked and I saved myself some cash.

I’ve had my charger for almost a month, after replacing my original which I had for 5 years, I am hopeful that this charger will last as long but it is a brand new charger in great condition.

I travel a lot and got tired of putting the whole charger in and out of my laptop bag, plugging and unplugging from my office to home. Unlike windows laptops, the charger for Apple laptops is big and bulky when you use the entire set of cords. The charger weighs almost as much as my MacBook air. On the plus side Apple chargers have long cords that are adaptable to making shorter. You can unplug the heavier cord by pulling it out of the brick and then attaching a plug adapter to the brick in its place. Having a really nice long version makes it easier to charge while in a meeting because the cord reaches to an outlet. This one came with an adapter so you can leave the longer & clunkier cord at home (or in the car) and just plug in the brick. It charges fast & has little wings to wind the cord to the brick neatly, making it convenient for a laptop case. Was thinking about giving it 4 stars (or 4 1/2) because I can't understand why Apple, with its beautifully designed and light laptops, can't seem to figure out a way to ditch the brick. But, that's not the charger's fault. It works as promised.
