The Mac’s internal charging circuitry won’t exceed this charging power, no matter what the capabilities of the power supply at the other end of the cable. Inside the MagSafe 2 connector is a tiny chip that identifies the charger type and its maximum output power. The choice of AC wall charger matters more than you might expect.
Fortunately I already had an old charger with a cracked and frayed cable that I could use as a donor. Being a proprietary connector, there’s no other source for the MagSafe 2. Step 1: Cut the cord off a MagSafe 2 AC wall charger. There are some questionable-looking 3rd-party solutions available, but I’d rather build my own.
In their infinite wisdom, Apple has never built a 12V DC automotive MagSafe 2 charger – only AC wall chargers. But my mid-2014 MBP uses Apple’s proprietary MagSafe 2 charging connector. Newer Macs feature USB Type C power delivery, a common standard with readily available 12V DC chargers designed for automotive use. It would work, but surely there’s some way to skip the cumbersome inverter and charge a MacBook Pro directly from DC? Now that I have a solar-powered 12V battery, how can I charge my laptop from it? An inverter would seem absurdly inefficient, converting from 12V DC to 110V AC just so I can connect my Apple charger and convert back to DC.
