60W L-Tip Charger for Pre-2012 MacBook Pro
This 60W L-Tip power adapter replaces the original charger for 13-inch MacBook Pro models A1278, A1181 and A1184 released before mid-2012. It accepts 100-240V input at 50/60Hz and delivers a regulated 16.5V 3.65A output. The unit is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and built from fire-retardant PC material.
60W Output Handles Everyday Loads
At 60W the adapter powers the notebook and charges the battery simultaneously during typical office work, web browsing and media playback. Sustained heavy workloads that push the CPU and GPU near maximum can draw more than the brick can supply, causing the battery to supplement the difference. The 6ft supply cord and foldable plug keep the desk tidy.
Amber and Green Indicators Show State
An amber LED confirms active charging while a green LED signals a full battery, removing guesswork without software tools. The cord is rated for 20,000 bend cycles so it survives frequent coiling and travel. Buyers needing MagSafe 2 or USB-C connectors for later MacBooks cannot use this L-Tip model.

Questions about this item
Will this 60W L-Tip charger power my MacBook Pro 13 inch A1278 alongside an older A1181 model?
Yes, the 16.5V 3.65A 60W output matches the original specification for both A1278 and A1181 models before mid 2012, so either laptop will charge normally.
How do I know the charger is delivering the correct 16.5V 3.65A output after I plug it in?
The amber LED on the L-Tip connector shows the MacBook is charging; it turns green once the battery reaches full charge, confirming normal operation.
Does the box include the AC supply cord or only the power brick with L-Tip cable?
The package includes the 60W power adapter, a detachable 6ft AC supply cord, and the fixed L-Tip output cable — no extra parts are required.
