Dimensions of 85W power adapter?

I'm trying to see if a 15" MBP will fit into a Pelican 1470 case or if I'd need to get a 1490 case.
Can someone measure the power adapter please?
thanks

Dimensions of the Power Adapter Brick

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Mac Mini Power Adapter Brick? I'm trying to communicate with an architect for Mac Mini placement locations and need to know how big the brick is... Can't locate the info anywhere.
Thanks!

6.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 (inches)
One also has to take into account the power in and out cables of course.

New 85W Power Adapter

My puppy recently chewed through my power adapter, and the Apple Store is currently out of stock. I'm assuming that the majority of the $80 cost is due to the brick part, not the wire. Is it possible to simply buy a new wire and attach it to the current adapter instead of buying a whole new one?

hey, check my other thread. Mine just bit the dust too and it appears that the old version is completely MIA until the new ones comes out later next month. I ordered one online but I have no idea if i'll actually get it. Clint, in my other thread, mentioned a place that had them online (LAElectronics or something like that, go check that thread out) and I ordered from J&R Music World (who may or may not actually have them in stock).
Still, pretty shifty of Apple to remove any ability of ordering the adapter from them until the new ones come out (a guy at the Apple Store even told me they had pulled them from the Apple Store shelves, not sure if that is actually true or not). These are essential to the operation of the MBP, it's not like i can run to Best Buy and get a third party adapter.

Mac Book Pro 17" 85W Power Adapter too Hot to handle while charging/using

Hello All,
I bought a Mac Book Pro 17". What's up with my Power Adapter when I am using the computer at the same time charging it. The Power Adapter gets so hot that it is too hot to handle...very very hot! Is this normal ?
Any advise is most welcome on the matter.
Mac Book Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Simple answer, no its not normal
The adapter should get warm, but not hot
The first thing i'd do is try it in a different power socket
If it still heats up like you say regardless of where you plug it in, then its a fault in the adapter
return it to apple or an apple reseller and get another one
i wouldn't use it any more as it could be dangerous to your computer and become a fire hazzard

My Magsafe 85W Power Adapter recently died.

I have this L connector,and lately these pins have been stuck inside the connector, so its been difficult to charge. But last week the plastic around one of the grounding pins melted. The retailer told me that it is 5 years warranty on the chargers,so i sent it in so they could take a look. Today i was told that the warranty was declined due to too much dust on the port on my Macbook. They havent even seen the port on my mac,so how can they come to this conclusion? Do they have secret agents with cloaking equipment that sneak around in peoples houses?

Not sure who you talked to but the warranty on the charger is the same as on the rest of the computer. One year standard warranty and can be extended to a total of 3 years with the purchase of the Applecare extended warranty.
So go out and buy a new charger.

Power Adapter A1290

I have a MacBook Pro Early 2009 with a 85W power adapter A1290 (t style) that needs replacement. Can I use the 85W MegaStyle with the L style? I can not find a T style anywhere to buy.

Miked0623,
if you meant MagSafe rather than MegaStyle, then yes, you can use the L-style MagSafe AC adapter. If you prefer the T-style, you can probably find one on online auction sites.

NewMacBook Power Adapter Typo Error

There is a typo error on this link: as per 11/08/2006 10:10 PM
http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
That said it shipped with 60W Power adapter, but if we scrool on the specs table, it said comes with 85W Power Adapter (usually for MacBook Pro).
Hope everybody that order this new MacBook do double check so nobody will be dissapointed later.
And if there is moderator around, do inform the webmaster to fix the typo error to the rightfull information.
Good Luck.

There is truly moderator around, and the typo problem now fixed: 11/09/2006 3:45PM

So the buyer will get the 60W Power adapter instead of 85 as stated before.
Hope This Help.

Can I used my New MBP13' with a 85W MagSafe Power Adapter

I just bought a new MBP 13' with MagSafe 60W. Can I used my old Charger 85W(My old MBP Mid 2008 85W MagSafe Power Adapter) It does work, but what will happen to the battery? will it ruin the battery life? will it overcharged?

No it won't do any harm
(It will just draw what's required and then shut off as normal)

85w Magsafe Power Adapter Plastic cover

THe 85w Magsafe Power adapter comes with a plastic protective cover for the magnetic DC connector . I lost mine. Does anyone know if Apple or anyone else sells it. Im just really bothered by it. Plus I dont want dust to accumulate on the magnetic DC connector.

The magnet is in the MBP not in the connector on the AC adapter.
i'm not really sure about that. I wish you could just answer my query and be helpful. Or correct me and at the same time offer a solution or answer to the question. That would really help. Don't post if you don't want to help.
But for arguments sake. According to:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=816 A0BD3&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/power&nplm=MA938LL/A#overview
"The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a MAGNETIC DC CONNECTOR that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the MAGNETIC DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
plus, this apple page:
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html
says that,
"Innovative right down to the power cord._The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one._"
I dont know, maybe the mbp connector has a magnet also, but im very sure according to apple the 85w Magsafe adapter has a magnet.
Anyway, it doesnt really matter to me where the magnet is. As long as it magnetically connects.

85W or 60W MagSafe power adapter?

I'm buying an extra power adapter for my MacBook to use at the office.
Both the 85 watt MacBook Pro and 60 watt MacBook power adapters have MagSafe on them. They are both the same price. Should I consider the 85 watt adapter for my black MacBook? I was thinking that I could get the larger wattage version so that I'm not fully taxing the unit, allowing it to run cooler and potentially prolonging the life.
I know this is kind of an off-the-wall question, but I'm curious about these things. Any thoughts are welcome.

It's easy these are very good instructions on How to Upgrade Your MacBook's Hard Drive.

Compatibility of new apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter L-style and Macbook Pro, mid 2007

My old Magsafe (T-style) is broken and I need new one, but I have dilemma: Is new Magsafe L-style adapter compatible with my Macbook Pro, mid 2007 15.4-inch: 2.2GHz (MA895LL).
Please reply.

Just looked at the warranty information with an earlier version power adapter (one for PowerBooks) and it is one year. That seems to still be the standard Apple warranty for Apple branded accessories.
Call Apple, go to an Apple store or go online and get it replaced.

MacBook Pro power adapter doesn't show green light when fully charged

I've had a quick search through the communities and there are a lot of posts about chargers and indicator lights, but I'm not sure I'm really satisfied about my own issue so I thought I'd ask anyway.
Basically, I bought a spare power adapter (genuine Apple 85W MagSafe2) for my new 15" Retina MacBook Pro in a store the other day, to save me lugging my main adapter to and from work all the time.
Using it for the first time made me realise that the adapter I got with my MBP behaves slightly differently re: the LED indicators. The new one from the store shows amber until the MBP is fully charged, then solid green once fully charged. This I believe is perfectly normal.
The charger I got with the MBP shows amber whilst charging, but only shows green very briefly when fully charged and then the indicator goes out completely. OSX (10.8.2) still indicates that it is connected to the power source though, and the battery doesn't drain or anything at this point - it definitely appears to be functioning as expected.
Aside from this, I can determine no real difference between the two adapters in terms of charging speed or general functionality, they both appear fine.
I just wondered if anyone else had ever seen this?
I did reset the MBP's SMC settings too, but it made no difference. I'm inclined to think there isn't an issue with the laptop itself since the new adapter's indicators work exactly as I'd expect, but then again the original adapter seems to function perfectly so I'm wondering if there's just some trivial issue with the green LEDs or something like that.

Really doesn't matter if anyone else has or has not seen something like what you have. Your original adapter is faulty in one way or another and you should take it in to Apple with your rMBP to show them what is happening and Ask Nicely for a new one that works correctly.

Power Adapter for 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009)

I'm curious to know if i can use a power adapter from an older 17" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz (Mid/Late 2007) with a brand new 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009). Both are 85w i believe - but i wasn't sure about the new battery with this new computer.
Thanks

i would like to say, power adapters are of no tricks. They just provide voltage, current, and also the quality of them. When i say quality, it means how stable they can provide. All good functioning power adaptors should have an acceptable quality. So this is not a concern.
Then, what is going on with the "power"? No matter how many watts, there are _*no differences*_. What you have to consider is: unless it cant boot up your system, or it is not capable to charge while you are working (lower watt will just charge slower), or it has some serious problems when you are doing some high energy consuming tasks (like playing 3D games, video converting). Otherwise, the power adaptor is said to be providing enough power, and nothing to be worried about =]

Late 2008 Macbook Pro: Which power adapter?

Hello all. I have a Late 2008 Macbook Pro 15", MacPro5,1. A few months back my dog ate the power adapter (unplugged, thankfully.) I thought I did the proper amount of research to order the correct adapter from a third party on Amazon, because I'm pretty darn broke and need to save every penny I can. When I got the adapter, the connector was different from the one that came with my Macbook Pro. It was 85W, all the numbers matched up, but the style was different. But, the plug worked enough to let me get the work done that I needed, so it didn't concern me too much.
That is, until this cord just stopped working. That's what I get for getting a third party cable from China off Amazon.
So now, I'm trying to research again to make sure I'm getting the right cable, and I want one that's made by Apple, and is exactly like the one that came in the box when I bought my Macbook Pro new. I went to MacSales.com and checked their compatibility pages, and ran into some issues. What is showing as compatible with my Mac is the 85W Magsafe MC556LL/A, but this is shown with the incorrect connector (like the one I got off Amazon.)
When I looked at the other adapters that were available, I found the MagSafe 2 85W MD506LL/A, which has a connector that looks like the original, but it only shows as compatible with 2012+ Retina Display Macbook Pros.
So, do I have to buy the MagSafe that is not like the original that came with my Macbook Pro, or can I get the MagSafe 2 that does match what I got out of the box?
Reference pages from MacSales.com:

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MD506LLA/

Thanks! I didn't realize there was a revision, but that makes sense. I guess I don't understand they would change it, then use the original design for the later Retina Display models. Oh well, as long as it works!
On a similar note, is OWC the best option for a cheap Apple-brand adapter? They're selling them for $47, when the cheapest I can find anywhere else is like $75. They seem pretty reputable with all the options and Apple-specific stuff they offer, I just didn't want to make the same mistake again and would like other options if they are available.
Thanks again!
