I have a 85w magsafe of a 15" macbook pro. but i want to use it to charge a macbook black, can I use it?? The macbook does not suffer an overcharge or something??
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
See the quote below from Find the right power adapter and cord for your Mac notebook - Apple Support
I'm not sure if they both use the same connector but there is more information in the above link.
Power adapters for Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Apple notebook. You can use a higher wattage adapter without issue, but doing this won't make your computer charge faster or operate any differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power.
Ok, so I can use it without any problem in this macbook, right?? it's my brother's macbook, and he lost the original magsafe, so I want to lend my 85W Macbook Pro Magsafe for a while...
Yes you can use it if it will fit. It won't damage the computer due to the wattage but I'm not sure if the connector will fit.
Ok Thanks so much, it fits ...
A few resellers of Apple products offer the MagSafe port adapter so newer charger will fit
some of the older magnetic ports. I've seen them online, when not looking to buy one.
Another source for replacement original equipment MagSafe power supplies for older
MacBook models to check into, may be OWC macsales.com. Check to be sure of a
best match, or talk to someone at such companies before purchase. Helps to be able
to correctly identify the computer so that a knowledgeable reseller can match one up.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
