Fribug 85W MagSafe 2 T-Tip Charger for MacBook Pro

Fribug’s 85W magnetic T-tip power adapter is a direct replacement charger designed to power and charge Retina MacBook and MacBook Pro models manufactured between 2012 and 2017.

If you need a dependable replacement for a lost or damaged Apple charger that uses the magnetic T-shaped connector, this Fribug unit delivers 85 watts (20V–4.25A) through a secure magnetic tip and an LED charge indicator. It’s engineered to match the form and electrical output required by a range of MacBook Air and Pro models that originally shipped with the T-tip (MagSafe 2) connector, offering the same physical connector size and a familiar magnetic release that reduces strain on your laptop’s charging port.

Which MacBook models will this Fribug 85W adapter work with?

It’s compatible with MacBooks that used the T-tip (MagSafe 2) connector between roughly mid-2012 and 2017. Check your MacBook model identifier or the original charger label if you’re unsure.

• Fits MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models listing A1398, A1424, A1502, A1466 and similar identifiers.
• Works with 11", 13.3" and 15" configurations that originally shipped with the T-shaped magnetic plug.
• Not compatible with Apple’s newer USB-C or M-series (M1–M5) MacBooks produced from 2021 onward.
• Not for MacBooks manufactured before mid-2012 that used the older T-pin or MagSafe 1 connector.

How does the charger communicate charging status?

This Fribug adapter features a simple LED on the magnetic tip that indicates charging state without opening system menus. The light provides at-a-glance feedback so you can tell whether your notebook is drawing power or already topped up.

• Amber LED indicates the laptop is currently charging.
• Green LED indicates the battery is fully charged.
• Magnetic connector safely detaches under tension to protect the port and the cable.

What are the electrical and physical specifications I should verify?

Confirm the output matches your MacBook’s original power requirements and that your model uses the MagSafe 2 T-tip connector. Using mismatched voltage or connector types can prevent charging or cause damage.

• Input: AC 100–240V, 1.5A, 50–60Hz — suitable for worldwide voltages.
• Output: DC 20V — 4.25A (85W total), matching many 13–15" MacBook Pro requirements.
• T-shaped magnetic tip size consistent with MagSafe 2 (approx. 5/8 inch width).
• Designed as a replacement for chargers with model numbers like ME293, ME294, ME664 and others listed on original Apple adapters.

What support and safety notes should I be aware of?

Fribug provides customer support for troubleshooting and service questions. Follow the product and device safety guidance to preserve battery health and avoid compatibility problems.

• Fribug offers 24-hour online customer service for help and replacement queries.
• Do not use this adapter with 2021–2026 M-series MacBooks or with pre-mid-2012 MagSafe 1 models.
• Inspect cables and connectors before use; replace if frayed or damaged to reduce risk.

Who is this for: The Fribug 85W Magnetic T-tip adapter suits MacBook owners who require a like-for-like MagSafe 2 replacement for 2012–2017 Retina-era MacBook Air and Pro models. Choose this charger if you want an affordable, high-output replacement with a magnetic safety connector and a clear LED charge indicator — but if your MacBook uses USB-C or a newer M-series architecture, select a compatible USB-C power solution instead.
