Its an AC adapter. The voltage regulation is done by the controller in the laptop. Macbooks have an input voltage of roughly 14v, 16v, 18v or 20v that then goes to the regulator you say. My doubt is how the power adapter actually knows which power to output for each model.

Can you charge a MacBook with DC power?

You can, but it’s not as simple or as cheap as you might think. The new MacBook Pro with Retina display notebooks come with an 85-watt charger.While you could charge your MacBook in a car using an inverter that transforms the car’s 12-volt DC power into 110-volt DC, these devices are bulky and noisy.

The 60 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.

What is AC power for Mac?

It means that the unit has fully charged the battery, and is running directly off the A/C adapter. The circuitry inside the power board will manage whether the batter gets any current or not; for the most part it won’t, but it will occasionally trickle voltage in to keep the battery fully charged.

What voltage is my MacBook Pro?

The MacBook Pro runs on every voltage available in the world, specifically it runs on 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 hertz as well as 15 or so volts (DC) from its battery. A plug adaptor is the only thing you will need.

What voltage is a MacBook charger?

All Macbooks (save the new Retina Macbook which uses a USB-C charging port) use nominally 20V power supplies (the magsafe chargers, 20V will be marked on the bottom of them). In actuality the peak output voltage is under 19V (18.5V as you mentioned is normal), the same as almost all other laptops.

Does MacBook Air charger work on MacBook Pro?

Best Answer: The MacBook Air comes with a 45W MagSafe power adapter and the 13-Inch MacBook from 2006-2009 and the 13-Inch MacBook Pro use the 60W power adapter.The 60W MagSafe power adapter should work fine on the MacBook Air as well as the MacBook Pro.

Can I charge MacBook with any USB-C?

You can plug it into any port like you would a USB cable, but it doesn’t snap into place as a magnetic charging cable does. Any USB-C cable will do. Any USB-C charging cable will work just fine if you have a newer MacBook Pro, although it’s recommended to use the official charging cable.

Is it safe to use third party MacBook Chargers?

Most third-party MacBook chargers don’t pack the same safety features as official Apple units.So no MacBook charger is immune to failure, including official Apple ones. But if a 16-bit microcontroller monitoring the charger isn’t foolproof, a third-party MacBook charger without a microcontroller must be even riskier.

Does MacBook Air have MagSafe?

In 2016, with the introduction of the USB-C MacBook Pro models, Apple began discontinuing ‌‌MagSafe‌, and the last machine with ‌‌MagSafe‌‌, the 2017 ‌MacBook Air‌, was discontinued by Apple in July 2019.

The Apple 20W power adaptor will work just fine and help reduce your carry-on “shoulder load.”

Can MacBook handle 220v?

Yes all you need is a plug adapter to convert to the correct plug style. You can either use the world travel set from Apple or by just a plug adapter that the MagSafe will plug into. I concur with the previous poster, it works just fine on 220v as long as you have a converter plug for the electric outlet.
