What type charger does original MacBook Air take. Mine disappeared at airport security last week.
I need to buy a replacement. Is it Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adapter for MacBook Air?
CA
Pretty much any original MagSafe power adapter should work, although that one came with the 45W version. As long as it attaches, it should be safe to use.
They're all meant to be compatible, although going smaller in rated power than what it came with may not be a good idea.

Many thanks. Machine won't start up as needs battery which I decided not to replace. But I do use it plugged in - so I'll order a replacement charger in the 45W version. Great machine and like my very old 2004 Pro is still useful.
Not even sure you could get an OEM replacement battery for that since it's so old. Apple has definitely discontinued ordering them from its suppliers and I doubt there's any stock left even if Apple would be willing to do it. Your only reasonable options (other than used) would be aftermarket.
My only issue with a machine that old is that I can't get them to work with modern websites. Banking websites don't seem to work.
