Overview
When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector will light; an amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives users an even easier and more compact way to travel.
Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.
This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.
Compatible with MacBook Pro.

Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter (for MacBook Pro)
Only one year old and it no longer works.

I have had my MacBook Pro for a little over a year now. I am a graphic design major, and after spending almost $4,000 on my laptop…Read more and software I am now quite upset. I can't believe that in a year my charger would stop working, especially after spending that amount of money with apple. I was working on a project when I heard a "pop", and then I smelled something burning. So I unplugged my computer and sure enough it was the Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter; only a year old... disapointing.

I cannot stand it, I swear if I don't put it in the exact right position it will not stay connected, I have to twist and turn the …Read morepower strip its plugged into(since it doesn't even work plugged into the wall anymore) until it stays connected, only to find that 20 minutes later its disconnected again... I honestly find this to be the worst designed adapter I have ever seen in my life, a simple plug would work much better, anyway my adapter has become virtually useless now since it won't stay plugged in for more than 3 seconds at a time. Overall I give this product 10 thumbs down
