Chopmate 85W L-Tip AC Adapter for MacBook Pro 13/15/17 Pre-2012 6.6FT Cable
85W L-tip charger powers pre-2012 MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 17 inch models with a 6.6ft cable
- TypeCharger
- Charges 13, 15 and 17 inch models before mid 2012
- 85W output also runs 60W MacBook Pro units
- Foldable plug rotates 90° for pocket-sized portability
- 6FT power cord gives generous desk reach
- Worldwide 100-240V input works on any mains supply
L-Tip Compatibility
This 85W AC adapter uses the first-generation L-shaped magnetic connector for MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 17 inch models released before mid-2012. It replaces the original Apple A1344, A1330, A1342, A1172, A1181, A1184, A1244 and A1278 chargers. The foldable 90-degree plug reduces bulk for travel or daily carry.
Upgrading From Lower-Wattage Units
The adapter delivers 85W at 18.5V and 4.6A while remaining backward-compatible with 60W requirements. Owners of 15 or 17 inch MacBook Pro models that shipped with 60W bricks gain extra headroom for simultaneous charging and heavy workloads. The jump is worthwhile when the original supply runs hot or cannot sustain full performance under load.
Input Range and Cable Reach
Universal 100-240V AC input at 1.5A covers 50-60Hz mains worldwide without a voltage selector. The fixed 6.6FT DC cable provides generous reach from wall outlets to desk or bedside. Units needing a second charger for a permanent desk setup or a compact travel spare are well served; users requiring USB-C Power Delivery or MagSafe 2 connectors must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the L-tip connector fit MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 17 inch models released before mid 2012?
Yes, the adapter uses the first-generation L-tip and lists compatibility with part numbers A1344, A1330, A1342, A1172, A1181, A1184, A1244 and A1278 for those sizes.
How do I connect the 6.6 ft cable to the power brick and the wall outlet?
Plug the detachable 6.6 ft cord into the brick, fold the prongs out 90 degrees and insert into a 100-240 V AC socket; the brick then delivers 18.5 V at 4.6 A to the L-tip.
When should I replace the AC cord or the adapter itself?
Replace the cord if the insulation frays or the plug no longer seats firmly; replace the adapter if it no longer outputs 85 W or the L-tip becomes loose on the MacBook.
