Hi,

I have an older MacBook Pro (early 2015) which works fine for my needs and I don’t need to replace.

My only issue is that I can’t find a 12v in car charger for it. Does anybody know if one exists? It’s the original MagSafe magnetic connector if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

IIRC - you will need an invertor.
This will do nicely. Use you standard power cable.

Another way of doing this is to get a USB-C to Apple Mag Safe lead, the get a USB-C PD cigarette lighter socket adapter (make sure it can deliver enough wattage for a mac book pro).

When the charger for my old 2012 Mackbook Air broke I used a USB-C to MagSafe lead and then a Mains USB-PD power adapter. Worked a treat and meant fewer chargers to carry overall.

I’ve got a USB-C PD power sully that is plenty powerful enough so I’ll look into this.
