Travel Charger for MacBook
Hi,
I'll be traveling out of the country in a few weeks and I'm looking for a travel charger that can recharge the battery while it's not in the MacBook (I have 2 batteries, so I would like to use the laptop while the other battery is charging).
Does such a product exist?
Thanks,
Roland Thomas
MacBook (black) Mac OS X (10.4.9)
OWC have one such device:
Battery Charger/Conditioner.

Hi everyone.
I am looking for a suitable 12volt/car charger, so i can charge my brand new MacBook Pro directly from our caravan batteries via a car/12 volt socket. I dont want to use a inverter, as it draws unnecessary power from the vans batteries.
I am being cautious as I don't want to use a product that is not 100% compatible here in Australia and might void the warranty in any way.
I can not find anything suitable manufactured by Apple but I have found many 3rd party alternatives, ranging from approx $50 up to a couple of hundred.
Has anyone had any experience with any of these products.

Thanks for your help in advanceHi Carl, Thank you for your help. I am still none the wiser which one to pick. You say they are not equivalent, but don't they all do the same job. I never was any good at joining the dots, my spelling is shocking and I really wouldn't know a technical error even if it was starring me in the face.
Have a good one. -

Hey everyone,
Im looking for a small lightweight travel charger for my new S10-2. Is the power plug on the netbook compatible to the S-10? Because there are only small chargers available for the S-10 like this one:

Travel adaptor for Macbook with magsafe connector?
Has anyone found anyone that sells a aircraft travel adaptor for the Macbook?
Kensington do one for the old iBook but a magsafe connector version has not appeared.
Hopefully this is not becasue Apple have patented the design of the magsafe connector and are not letting anyone else produce them.
If this is indeed the case, and Apple don't produce their own travel adapter, I will be quite cross as the whole point of having a laptop is so you can take it with you when you are travelling.
If the voltages for the iBook are the same as the Macbook how about producing an iBook to Magsafe adapter so we can use the 3rd party travel adapters?I just checked and the prongs on my MB adapter are exactly the same as the ones on my iPod power adapter. They should work just fine.
From a manufacturing standpoint, it makes no sense to have two different products for the same exact job. -
Which incar charger for Macbook pro ?
Advise please - I need to charge my Macbook pro 15"(2011)in the car, and having looked around it seems like the choice is;
a Belkin AC Anywhere - 300W DC/AC Power Inverter for £15.87 (Amazon)
or
HyperMac Pure DC Car Charger (Protronica) for £119.95
Seems a no-brainer does anyone know of a reason I shouldn't get the Belkin?
The HyperMac says "it is the ONLY non-Apple solution that supports the MacBook Pro dual voltage (16.5~18.5V) operation." Do I need to worry about this?I have been also looking into getting a car charger and also an external batter and I have to agree with what hypermac say on their website that using a set up transformer and then step down the voltage agian with the normal apple charger is not an option I would liek to consider. in the way of efficieny it is not great you have two transformers radiating heat out so thats a mass of energy down the drain already. and also the comment they made on changing the current form DC to AC then from AC back to DC does not seem very good.
Personally I would suggest buy the airline adapter from apple and then get the Hypermac stuffs. also if you use the Airline apater version rather than the Hypermac box thingy where oyu have to modify the cable it will be an easy thign just plugging in the airline adapter into another adapter so its simple for peopel who dont like messing around with cables I think
I would of cause be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this.
sadly I gotta say I am very dissapoited that apple do not have their own car charger. and also even more a backup battery this is a real downfall I have to say which dissapoints me. Since you cannot just simplly swap the internal battery in the mac. -
Use removable part from iPod charger for MacBook?
I was wondering if I can use the removable part of the old iPod charger for my MacBook charger instead of the extension cord.
I work with a plug 20 cm away from my MacBook, so I don't really want all the cables on my desk.No. No part from a iPad charger will work with a Mac notebook. All you are asking for is Trouble. Move your desk closer to an AC outlet.

External Battery Charger for Macbook 13inch
I took my macbook to the Apple store because it wouldn't charge anymore. The charger and battery are fine. They told me it was the logic board which would cost over $300 since my warranty ran out 80 days ago. I searched for some external chargers and found some but not for this specific battery. Does anybody know if they make an external charger for the macbook white 13 inch? Device name on the battery is ASMB016.
OK, but I'm not sure why? I don't believe there is a charger to hook directly to the battery, but if such an animal exists you might find it be doing a Google search. Also check out newertech.com, macsales.com, and quickertek.com.

Why not invent a portable charger for Macbook
it's just so annoying I need to find plug everywhere, now that we've already have the portable charger for our phones and pads why there's no one for our note book?
When I first purchased my MBP, I also purchased an extra Magsafe. One I keep home & the other stays in my MBP carrying case along w/dups of my troubleshooting & backup bootable discs.

Int'l Travel - Charger for Pearl Flip
Pre-buying (T-mobile) questions:
BB site says flip comes with no charger. Is this true/possible?
Otherwise, any concerns I should consider for international (Europe) travel with the Flip? Can I just buy a plug adapter and not worry about currency convertors?
Also, anything anyone could volunteers about unlocking the Flip and using a local SIM card for lower call/data rates, worthwhileness of getting T-Mobile Hot-Spot service, or general thoughts on least expensive options for calling within Europe and to the US.
thank you.I took my T-mobile Blackberry Pearl Flip to New Zealand. Used the US AC charger with a NZ plug with no problem.
I also added the T-mobile int'l data plan for that month, $20. Data was seamless, exactly like being in the US. I don't get a lot of calls, I use the phone far more for data, so I didn't worry about anyone calling me and being charged the high per-minute charge--something like $2/minute as I recall.
I did work with T-mobile before I went to unlock my phone so that I could buy a SIM card when I got to NZ. You should be able to find a wireless vendor in the airport where you land; I've heard that from many other travers, and it was certainly true in NZ. I think I purchased mine through Vodaphone, which seems to be ubiquitous. It's best to purchase the card in the counrtry you're traveling to, because they seem to be specific to a country or a region. I ended up not using the card I bought, because I was traveling with another friend so we used her T-mobile Android for voice, with the card she bought, and my phone for data. So I have a card that will work in New Zealand sitting in my desk. It doesn't work in very many other countries so I'm out of luck unless I find a friend who's going there and has a SIM phone!
More and more places around the globe have wireless, so you might want to check the number of T-mobile hotspots where you're going to see if it's worth paying for them, or if you could use wireless where you're staying.
Here's what you need to know: you can't use your regular data plan on the phone if you have a different SIM card in it. And you can't get the low phone rates if you keep in your regular SIM card. So you have to switch cards out depending on what you want to do.
A note: one feature I think the Flip is missing is the ability to turn off individual services. I'd have liked to turn off the voice feature, keeping data. On other BBs I think you can, but not on the Flip.
I hope this helps. -

Car charger for Macbook/Macbook Pro
Okay Apple... so all of us road warriors who ponied up for the new laptops (for which there are precious few extra batteries) are wondering what is up with car chargers for the speedy new babies.
According to Lind AND Kensington, you (Apple) have refused to allow third parties to make Auto/Air chargers for the new laptops. Hopefully this means one is coming soon... right??
The crummy alternative is to use a DC to AC converter which is horribly inefficient and requires you to have the car running the whole time the laptop is plugged into it to keep from killing your car battery...
Come on Apple, release the cool car charger already!!!
17" Macbook Pro/ Black Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) annoyed there is no auto charger!!!!Our Magsafe Airline adapter DOES charge the battery in Airlines AND work in cars!
NO INVERTERS!
3 months of happy customers!!
