Fribug 85W MagSafe 1 Charger for MacBook Pro (pre‑2012)

Fribug's 85W Mag 1 Power Adapter is a direct replacement charger built for older MacBook Pro models (MagSafe 1 L‑tip), delivering reliable 85W power with LED charge status indicators.

Designed to match the electrical specifications of Apple's first‑generation MagSafe L‑tip chargers, this Fribug adapter supplies DC 18.5V at 4.6A and accepts AC 100–240V at 50–60Hz. It replaces a wide range of Apple part numbers used on 13", 15" and 17" MacBook Pro models made before mid‑2012. The unit is safety certified (CE, FCC, RoHS) and includes an amber/green LED so you can tell when your MacBook is charging or fully charged.

Which MacBook Pro models will this Fribug adapter work with?

This charger was built for MacBook Pro computers that use the original MagSafe L‑tip (first‑generation) plug and require up to 85W of power. It is compatible with many 13", 15" and 17" MacBook Pro releases produced before mid‑2012, including specific A‑series model numbers.

• Fits MacBook Pro 13" models: Mid 2012 (pre‑Retina), Late/Early 2011, Mid 2010, Late 2009.
• Also compatible with 15" and 17" MacBook Pro models using the MagSafe L‑tip.
• Replaces Apple part numbers such as A1344, A1343, A1330, A1342 and earlier A11xx/A12xx series.
• Not compatible with MagSafe 2 or newer MacBooks produced after 2012.

How does the LED indicator help when charging my laptop?

The adapter includes a built‑in LED near the connector so you can quickly check charging status without opening your laptop. An amber light indicates the MacBook battery is charging, while green indicates a full charge. This visual cue helps prevent overcharging or leaving the adapter plugged in unnecessarily.

• Amber = actively charging.
• Green = battery full or maintenance mode.
• LED positioned at the MagSafe tip for easy visibility when docked.

Is this Fribug charger safe and tested like an OEM unit?

Yes — Fribug designs this adapter to meet common safety and performance standards and tests it against OEM specifications for fit and output. The product carries CE, FCC and RoHS certifications, and the manufacturer validates electrical output and thermal performance to deliver stable, long‑lasting charging.

• Certified to CE, FCC and RoHS standards.
• Manufacturing validation for voltage, current and heat management.
• Durable housing and strain‑relief at both cable ends for longer service life.

What connectors and technical specs should I check before buying?

Confirm your MacBook uses the MagSafe 1 L‑tip connector and that your model predates mid‑2012. The Fribug adapter outputs DC 18.5V at 4.6A (85W) and accepts universal AC input. If your MacBook uses MagSafe 2 or a USB‑C power delivery port, this unit will not be compatible.

• Output: DC 18.5V — 4.6A (85W).
• Input: AC 100–240V, 50–60Hz (universal voltage).
• Connector: MagSafe 1 L‑tip (first generation).
• Not for MacBook models released between 2012–2025 that use MagSafe 2 or USB‑C.

Who is this adapter for? If you own a MacBook Pro that predates the 2012 redesign and uses the original MagSafe L‑tip, this Fribug 85W power adapter is a practical replacement or spare. It suits users who need a certified, OEM‑spec replacement with clear LED charging status and broad compatibility across older Apple part numbers. Avoid purchasing if your MacBook uses MagSafe 2 or USB‑C charging ports.
