That might be a problem, or maybe not.Īs your Mac’s battery gets closer to a full charge the electrical current feeding it decreases. Let’s say your Mac’s charger is 87 Watts, but you’re seeing significantly less than that going into your laptop. What if My Mac’s Charger and OutPut Wattage are Different? Apple’s current 13-inch laptops ship with a 60 Watt charger. That number should be about the same, which in my case is 86 Watts. In my case, that’s 87 Watts because I have a 15-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro. Look for Name to see the wattage your charger is rated for.

Choose Power from the column on the left.

It wasn't even an obvious fake, it has all the markings you'd expect, it felt good quality, it worked and behaved just like my previous charger did! All I can say is that you need to be really careful with this stuff, especially when we're dealing with electricity, and perhaps only buy directly from the retailer, which is exactly where my replacement came from. The problem here is that I bought something advertised and priced as genuine and it turns out it wasn't.

They haven't yet taken any action but I'm thinking it might take a little more time, I will update the article with the outcome. Not only is this a counterfeit product, it's clearly unsafe too. Well, I've contacted the seller who hasn't yet returned any of my emails so I escalated things to eBay. This was certainly not a genuine Apple product but it really did look and feel like one from the outside! There were two blogs I got linked to, one with a tear down of a charger and one with a method to test if your charger is genuine, that gave me all the info I needed. The only way to tell was to pull it apart. After a couple of posts on Twitter I got some links to blog posts about 'genuine' chargers that weren't so genuine, but mine certainly looked genuine. Needless to say I wasn't too happy about this but there wasn't much I could do until I got home. The plug wouldn't go all the way back in due to the case now being deformed. Most hotels seem to give you these cool fire-proof dishes and it made a great holder for my now questionable charger to sit in. Imagine if this had happened when I wasn't in the room. After everything had cooled down and with some minor surgery I got it working for small bursts of charging and only while I was with the device. The charger was red hot, it was literally difficult for me to touch it for a minute or so prior to it cooling down! When I pulled the cable out it pulled the pin out with it because the inside had melted and it just came right out.

I yanked the plug from the wall and went to separate the mains cable from the charger itself and this is what happened. I could hear a buzzing sound that was very similar to electric arcing and it was coming from my charger.

I had a bit of a panic and started looking around the room and as I approached the desk where my laptop was I could hear a noise.

That was, until just last week, whilst on holiday actually, I was sat in my hotel room and I could smell burning. With a very high feedback count and score I purchased one and carried on.

They were fairly local here in the UK and were advertising a "Genuine MacBook Pro Magsafe Charger". I had a look on Google and I found what looked like a reputable supplier on eBay.

Turns out it wasn't so genuine, nor was it that safe either. I wanted to replace it and bought a genuine replacement for it online, or so I thought. I've had my trusty MacBook Pro (mid-2009) for many years now and the original charger was starting to show its age.
