Power adapter for pre-2012 MacBook Pro

This 85 W power adapter uses the L-Tip connector required by 15 inch and 17 inch MacBook Pro models released before mid 2012. It accepts AC input from 100 to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz and delivers up to 18.5 V at 4.6 A. An LED on the connector shows amber while charging and green when the battery is full.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits owners of MacBook Pro models A1151, A1172, A1281 or A1290 who need a direct replacement for the original Apple charger. Buyers with MagSafe 2 or USB-C MacBooks cannot use this adapter because the L-Tip connector is physically incompatible.

Deciding specification — L-Tip connector

The L-Tip connector is the single detail that determines compatibility; it fits only the pre-mid-2012 15 inch and 17 inch MacBook Pro models listed in the specifications.

Questions about this item

My MacBook Pro is model A1286 — will the L-tip connector fit and deliver the full 85 W?

Yes — the adapter lists A1286 among its compatible models and supplies 18.5 V at 4.6 A for the rated 85 W output.

I still use a 60 W MagSafe charger from an older MacBook; can I keep it as a spare alongside this 85 W unit?

The 60 W charger will connect but cannot sustain full load on a 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro, so the 85 W adapter should remain the primary supply.

After plugging it in, how do I confirm the adapter is charging the battery correctly?

The connector LED shows amber while the battery is charging and turns green once it reaches full charge.
