Power adapters are covered under the same warranty as the MacBook. If it has been two years then you would have needed to purchase AppleCare, otherwise it's out of warranty and will not be replaced.


Buying an aftermarket power adapter is risky because there are many counterfeit ones on the market. They may break prematurely and could even damage your MacBook. Take care of your power adapter and it will last for many years.


For example - find the fake iPad charger:
