[QUOTE="krs, post: 1909352, member: 67742"] I have had my share of non-Apple Mac chargers over the years and would now not buy a 3rd party one for the Mac, even from a reputable company like ANKER. The Apple Mac chargers are much more sophisticated than it appears on the surface, they are not just switching power supplies providing a single voltage. I started buying used Apple chargers on ebay, look for "genuine" in the description and the embossed Apple logo on the case. When you get the charger you can easily tell if it is really an Apple charger or not - plug it into a wall outlet, plug the Magsafe connector into the Mac. On a genuine Apple charger there will be a noticeable delay of half a second or so before the LED comes on, on any 3rd party ones I have ever had the LED comes on right away. [/QUOTE]
