Hi, have just purchased the MacBook air 2020 M1. As I travel and work in my campervan, I want to know which car charger I need for this. I have a 12v solar system and leisure battery set up. Any advice welcome.
(PS prefer not to use an inverter)
Hi BigBandt,
Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities.
Usually it is not recommended that you charge your Mac using a car charger as it could cause issues to your vehicle's electrical systems. If you do have a need to charge the MacBook it is highly recommended that you use an inverter as there aren't very many safe alternatives to use.
Best Wishes.
FWIW, any vehicle based chargers will have some sort of power conversion
as generally laptops require something in the range from as low as 15V
up to as high as 24 volts.
The AC Inverter is likely the "safest" as using it and your MacBook power adapter
will isolate your Mac from the harsh vehicle electrical environment (surges, voltage spikes,
ground issues, etc.)
