Here's a hint: Apple does not sell refurbished power adapters, and that is for a good reason.◊ Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) is a 0% APR payment option available to select at checkout for certain Apple products purchased at Apple Store locations,, the Apple Store app, or by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, and is subject to credit approval and credit limit. I'd bet not - the ultrasonic welder is specifically designed for the power adapter product, and the refurbisher is probably gluing the casework together. Is the new case of the same quality and is it secured in the same manner than the original. The power adapter case is robustly ultrasonically welded, and cannot be opened without destroying the case. Moving on: a refurbished power adapter is an especially bad idea. Is your personal safety and your computer worth more than $40 or $50?" The real power adapters have over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature protection.do the counterfeit products have these features. "How much is your computer worth: $40, $50? The counterfeit power adapters that I've seen are improperly grounded - is that OK for your computer or you personally? The real power adapters meet are necessary international safety and agency compliance standards - do the counterfeit products meet the same threshold. I'm not sure why, but this was my response to your first posting. You have posted the same question on another thread.

""Some of these are 1/2 the price or less." Poikkeus's suggestion of looking for genuine chargers on eBay is worth pursuing too, as long as you can be sure they are genuine.

Refurbished models sold by OWC as a safer bet. If cost is a real problem, then I'd be looking at something like the Badly made lithium batteries, like badly made chargers, can all too readily become an incendiary nightmare. There are certainly some very good "third party" batteries out there for the early MBPs from companies like Newer technology (and in some cases they are probably better than the original, as well as being a little cheaper), but I'd be very cautious about the el super cheapo lithium batteries that you can buy over the net. Lithium batteries fall into the same boat. The figures actually quoted for the very cheap ones are likely to be overstated. If you feel compelled to get one make sure it has a substantial amount of "excess capacity" - say an 85W model if your MBP currently uses a 60W adaptor or a 100W model if your MBP currently uses an 85W one. I must say that I've never been fond of either cheap chargers or cheap batteries.Īn underpowered or badly made battery charger/power adaptor can all too easily end up suffering a meltdown and causing a fire.
