Can not find serial number for Apple MagSafe Charger 25w 2m.

I've bought Apple MagSafe Charger 25w 2m (2024). I can see it in Settings -> General -> About -> Apple MagSafe Charger. Serial number is the same, on charger, box and about section accordingly. I wanted to check serial number here -> Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support . But by some reason all the time I get error "Invalid Serial Number". How can I check that I actually have original (not fake) product ?

Can I be sure that it is original one ?

Thank you.

For whatever reason Apple decided on, they don't include their power adapter serial numbers on the "Check Your Coverage" site.

Even if you could, a serial number can be faked. The only sure way to know if what you have is a genuine Apple product is if you purchased either from Apple directly or from an Apple Authorized Reseller.

If you would have purchased a MagSafe, MagSafe 2, or MagSafe 3, that were designed to work with Macs, you could have verified them as "authentic" by going to System Information > Hardware > Power ...

FWIW ... I don't have a MagSafe adapter for iPhones, but I do have an Apple MagSafe charging cable for my Apple Watch, and I verified that it can be "verified" as an Apple product in System Information > Hardware > USB ...

... so, I'm guessing the same would be true for MagSafe adapters for iPhones.
