MagSafe Battery Pack Firmware Update

I don't have a usb-c compatible iPad or Mac, is there any other way to manually update the firmware for the battery pack?

Hello marady562,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you have questions on updating that firmware for the MagSafe Battery Pack. We are happy to help.


The following article offers this information:


How to use your MagSafe Battery Pack - Apple Support


In order to get 7.5W charging on the go, update your MagSafe Battery Pack to the latest firmware. The firmware update begins automatically after you attach your battery pack to your iPhone. The firmware update can take about one week.

To update the firmware using a Mac or an iPad model with a USB-C port, detach the battery pack from your iPhone, plug one end of a Lightning to USB cable into the Lightning connector on your battery pack, and the other end into your Mac or iPad. The firmware update will take about 5 minutes.

You can check that the update is complete on your iPhone in Settings > General > About > MagSafe Battery Pack. The Firmware Version will be 2.7. 

It looks like connecting to your iPhone will start the update.


We hope this helps. Cheers!
