Macbook Pro Charger Voltage Input

I have two of these chargers. They are well built and powerful. However, that power comes with a string attached - if you want to rapidly charge a Mavic 3 battery the input voltage has to be greater than produced by a typical full charged 12 volt battery. DJI tells us this - stating that we should use the charger only with the car running. However, the specifications state that the input voltage needs to be 12.7 - 16 volts DC. Which led me to assume the 540 amp hour 12 volt battery bank in our expedition truck, which delivers 12.8 - 12.9 volts when fully charged would be sufficient. That is not the case - I need to have somewhere between 13.1 and 14,1 volts minimum (closer to 14.1 I suspect) for the rapid charger to work with an Mavic 3 battery. I can work with that as long as I charge during the day with solar input raising the voltage of the battery bank or when the truck's engine is running. This charger will work fine charging a Mavic Mini 2 battery bank with the supply at 12.8 (perhaps lower as well - I've not tried that). It might also charge the Mavic 3 battery via the USB 2 - USB 3 outlet but at 10 watts I'd presume that would considerably slower than the 65 watts possible with USB 3 - USB 3 outlet. I have not tried my car chargers with large portable power banks like those from Goal Zero or Jackery. I suspect the same restraints would apply - rapid USB 3 to USB 3 of a Mavic 3 battery will require solar or other supplemental input. Again - not a problem if you plan for that. I've given the charger 5 stars because it is great and works well as long as one respects the design parameters.

Allows me to use my old MagSafe Charger with my 2014 MacBook Pro.

Incredible Dock!  The best for my new MacBook Pro 16 And you can also use it as a charger!!

Just what I needed to connect things like my printer, smartphone, and Fitbit charger to my new MacBook Pro.

Perfect for my daily use. 1 13 inches macbook, 11 inches ipad pro with charger.

I got this as a backup charger to my travel charger for my M1 Macbook Pro while it was on special for $39. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to work, but it does, and works very well - I've been using it this entire trip and very happily. My travel charger, meanwhile, is charging other devices.... Definite recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of our devices have gradually transitioned to USB-C or have USB-C plugs, so I've just been collecting USB-C chargers to have around the house. This one went in our office/guest-room/music-room/exercise-room (hey, it's COVID) and has been great for my MacBook Pro. I have a 15" MacBook Pro that technically needs 95W to charge, but this 68W charger does well enough as long as the load isn't high -- I notice the computer does eventually charge to 100% even though it takes a bit longer. It's probably not ideal, but it works! For phones and other lower-power devices like iPads and the Nintendo Switch, this is absolutely a fast high-power charger with zero problems whatsoever. I love the sleek compact design and the included USB-C cable is heavy-duty and should handle the full power. Excellent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good charger. I can charge my MacBook Pro M1 16” without any problems. Work great with other fast charge devices

Fits 15 Macbook Pro well. Handy exterior pocket for charger, etc. Well made. Attractive.

When you buy a MacBook Pro it comes in exceptionally nice sturdy packaging. The packaging is meant to not only hold the laptop firmly and safely in place it also holds the wall charger as well as an extension cord for the wall charger designed for a standard 3-prong wall socket. With this Pelican case you can remove the appropriate foam within the Pelican case in order to set the MacBook Pro packaging (i.e. the box the computer comes in) right in the center of the case. See attached pictures. Fits perfectly and with just the Apple packaging showing in the foam it looks ultra professional. Yet everything is sitting in the packaging as it comes from Apple. No need to cut out multiple pieces of foam in order for the laptop and included items. Simply cut out a rectangular chunk the size of the Apple packaging and you're good to go!! Sure it's only a case but I love it! I take excellent care of what I own and the laptop gets carried around every day and there is no worry about damaging it any longer. Combine the above by making the purchase through B&H and you're ready to travel without fear.
