Charger option for my MacBook Pro 2013 13”

I need to replace my MacBook Pro 2013 13” charger, but in my country I can only find 45W, 65W and 85W options.


Knowing my original charger is a 60W, what should I do?


Should I use a magsafe 2 with the correct wattage?

For your 13-inch model and build year series, the unit may

perform adequately with 65W; but not 45W as that's way

below what the MB/Pro would require. ~ For MagSafe2.


45W: is for MacBook Air (11"?) 13" only.

65W ~ 85W for 13- 15- 17" display models.


If you hope to also charge some other

item from a MacBook Pro, while it's also

on a charger, you'd want larger output.


These automatically regulate to Mac's demand.


Their output may be listed as higher; while not

endangering the lower listed MacBook input.


Resellers inventories may include official

60W MagSafe2 Apple power adapters..


OWC has 'Official Apple' MagSafe2 power adapters

Several companies have offer retail sales in other

countries; OWC digital and OWC are worldwide.


Good luck & happy trails! ☺︎
