12vDC MacBook Pro Power Supply

Looking for a real 12vDC Power Supply for my 13" MBP 2.53GHz Core2Duo. (12v to 120vAC) "Inverter" NOT acceptable! Total waste of energy to go from 12vDC to 120vAC then back down to DC voltage as is supplied with OEM 60w AC supply... anyone know of a source? (Airplane adapter not an option). Thanks!

Apple doesn't supply anything like this.
There are basically two options:
The solutions from http://mikegyver.com/
The hyperjuice, available from: http://www.hypershop.com/
Note that I'm not a customer of either, I just did the research out of curiosity.

  • Macbook Pro power supply and grounding.

    Hey Apple people. I noticed something disconcerting with the power supply on my MacBook Pro 13" (non-retina)
    I have a stainless steel metal table in my kitchen. It is the same type of stainless steel table you find in restaurants.
    I have my 13" MacBook Pro in a Speck See-thru case.
    The MacBook Pro in it's case is sitting on a Rain Design "M Stand".
    The Rain Design "M Stand" is sitting on the stainless steel table.
    I am wearing a short sleeve shirt.
    I am sitting on a fabric covered chair at the table.
    The battery was getting low so I got out my power supply, which is the power brick with the two prong plug adapter.
    I plugged this into a power strip and the other end into the computer.
    While touching the case of the computer with one hand and leaning on the stainless steel table with my other bare arm. I felt a vibration through the fingers that were in contact with the MacBook Pro. I knew what was going on, and I got really concerned.
    I tried an experiment.
    I got out the extension cord that came with the MacBook Pro power supply and I changed out the two prong plug on the power supply for the extension cord. The extension cord has a grounding post.
    When I plugged the power supply back into the power strip and connected the power supply to the MacBook Pro. I no longer felt a vibrating sensation when I was in contact with the stainless steel table and the computer.
    I have other MacBook Pro power supplies and I always use the grounded extension cable with them, because it is located at my regular workstation area. This stainless steel table is located in my kitchen, and I was eating dinner and watching YouTube videos.
    Just thought you would like to all know that when you don't use the grounded cable on your MacBook Pro. you become the ground.
    Never using this power supply anywhere again without the grounded cable.
    Thank you for your time.

    It depends on what you are doing.  Yes, the power supply can get hot.  This is normal.

  • Using Macbook Pro Power Adapter on a Macbook

    I have a Macbook Pro and someone else in my family has a Macbook. Recently they misplaced their power adapter and started borrowing mine to use until theirs was found. I was uneasy about it, but it seemed to work okay. I know that the adapters are slightly different but will it hurt the Macbook to use a Macbook Pro power supply?

    It's fine. The MB will only draw the power it needs. FYI, the MBP adapter is 85 W, the MB's is 60 W.
    Hope this helps...

  • Macbook and Macbook Pro Power Adapters

    Is it safe to use a Macbook Pro power adapter in a Macbook and vice versa?
    I have just noticed that the MBP's adapter is 85 watts and the MB's is 60 watts. I hadn't realised they were different.
    My wife and I share each others adapters all the time (she has a Macbook). Will this be damaging either of the laptops?

    Shouldn't cause any problems. The main issue will be that the 60w adapter won't provide enough juice to both charge the MBP battery and run it if there is much of a load so I'd avoid using the 60w on the MBP for anything other than charging the battery whilst not using the machine - sudden power shortage could be painful for the machine.
    Best of luck.

  • I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.

    You'll certainly need a new logic board.
    If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
    Good luck,

  • 13" mac book pro power supply weight?

    What does a 13" mac book pro power supply weigh

    My 85W adapter weighs 10.45 ounces (296 g) without the "duck head" corner plug inserted and 11.05 ounces (313 g) with the duck head in place. You can probably figure that your 60W adapter weighs (or will weigh) 10-15% less.

    If I were you I'll check that nothing slows airflow around DVD location and I'll install Fan control to increase others fan speed (orange and red airflows on the drawing, mines are running at 1500/1600 rpm) this should help the whole system (AMHA), it doesn't cost to make a test.

  • My macbook pro power adaptor getting heated

    Hi
    My macbook pro power adaptor getting heated  & ultimately melting the coil which leads to power off.
    Is there any solution for that.

    我刚刚尝试了一下，我的电源适配器也好热！但是不至于融化的温度，可以尝试换一个吧。
    I just have a try, I find my power adapter is very hot! But it is not the melting temperature.U can try to change another.

  • Macbook Pro power cables

    Hi
    I bought I macbook pro in the summer of 2009 and then in 2010 I dropped it on the floor and this summer got a replacement. I'm pretty sure the new MBP I have has some sort of different power going to it than my old MBP - I believe the new MBP functions on less wattage.
    My question is whether using my old power cable with my new MBP is in any way dangerous. I'm not talking about my mac exploding or anything like that, but, for instance, my isight camera has stopped function, and I'm worried it might be because of too much power coming to it from using (occasionally) my old MBP power cable, and perhaps burning it out in some way.
    Is this possible? Should I be sticking to only using my new power cable, or will it make no real difference?
    Thanks for any help.

    to supplement the above. Apple portables can actually pull more power than the power adapters even the 85W one can supply thus is why it is ok to use an adapter with a higher wattage than the one that came with your machine. This is also why if you run your apple portable with the battery pulled out, the portable will run at reduced speed.
    found this out when my pre-unibody mbp battery bloated on me and i couldn't get a replacement for a week while i live and had to deal with an extremely slow machine

  • New MB Pro Power Supply

    The new MB Pro (Late '08) calls for an 85W power supply. Will the smaller 85W power supply from the now previous version of the MBP work with the new Pro. I've got a couple of spares I keep around so that I don't have to carry my only power supply with me everywhere I go. It would be a shame to have to buy an extra ps when I have two extras now.
    I'll take advice from anyone right now. (My new MBP is ordered - 2.8 GHz model). (My previous MBP goes to my wife, and my Black MacBook will be put up for sale).

    What I'm hearing here - hot body, waking up from sleep, battery drain - has has been happening with my Macbook (13") for quite some time. This seems to be more than a MBP issue! Tried taking the battery out and holding down the power button & tried cleaning the registry. Please help Apple!
