How to identify a genuine adapter using serial number

My adopter serial number is (HH***MAV) Please tell me is genuine

The serial number cannot be used to determine if it is genuine. Those are just as easily faked. Purchase from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller and you will have a genuine adapter. If you don't then you will have no way of knowing.

Serial number makes no difference. The only thing that matters is where you purchased it. Was it from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller? That is the question you need to ask yourself.

i want see this adapter is original or not

Take it to Apple and ask them to tell you. A serial number alone won't tell you.

The most certain way to tell is only buy them from Apple. People who are good at making fakes are going to use real serial numbers. You can check serial numbers but if it's a real one then you won't know if the device itself is fake.

How to know my adpter is real or fake?

If you are looking for a different answer, there is not one. It is real if purchased from Apple or Authorized Apple seller, otherwise you make have a fake one. That is nothing you can do to verify the information on your adapter. The counterfeit accessory market for Apple devices is huge, so it is very likely to be fake if purchased on any other third party site.

Good point! Going to System Information > Hardware > Power > AC Charger Information, does provide the manufacturer. An original adapter would have "Apple, Inc." in the Manufacturer field.

So, unless a third-party has a means to mimic this setting, this would be a good indication that the adapter is an original Apple device, or not.

To answer your question directly: no, you cannot verify their authenticity by a serial number.

One way i can think of is you can check by connecting it to your mac, if it is original it will show the manufacture as apple only.
