Chosen Solution
Hi there :) I am thinking to but this charger https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402209278454 and that cable MagSafe 2 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/40010921… Charger has 20V which is too much for those 13” MacBooks as they need something about 16V? Will it damage MacBook as too high voltage? Will charger lower Voltage to required voltage? Can that charger 20V be used to 15inch MacBook which needs something around 18V? Thank You
No, this is not going to work! Your chargers USB-A ports or the USB-C port are not designed to support the charging rate and control the MacBook Pro’s battery requires as well as the correct voltage. The cables are a snake oil salesman’s idea of a solution! As an example a friend of mine decided her speakers needed to be placed differently. She had the speaker wires I bought here from Radio Shack but they are all gone! So she thought the clear cables looks like what AC power cords look like (zip cord) So she bought two long extension cords and she bought some plugs and in-line outlets which she wired up with the original speaker wires. She was so proud of her self! Plugged it all together and it worked! Now a few moths later her mother arrived for a stay, found the plug had come un plugged and as their was a nearby AC outlet just plugged in the cord! BANG, Smoke and flames! as her expensive Bang-Olufsen stereo blew up! Luckily her mother was able to put out the fire. Just because you can use a connector solution doesn’t mean the needed function is possible! Best to use the REAL Apple charger and call it a day!
