*Listed pricing is Maximum Retail Price (inclusive of all taxes).I've ordered a 13' fully loaded MBP late 2016 model (with quad thunderbolt3/usb-c ports) I'm searching for details and experiences of powering one of the new late-2016 MBPs.Have a question? Call a Specialist or chat online. I know it comes with a 61watt apple provided charger - since that's above 60 watt, it should provide 20volt at just a tad over 3amps as well as all the lower voltages (15, 9 and 5) if the adapter is actually compliant the USB-PD spec. I know the safe bet is 61watt (or more) - not what I'm looking for.Įssentially: how low will it go and still use the power supply ? what voltages and amperages will it negotiate with a power supply ? Īnd how many watts does it need to stay powered without a need for charging the battery (or draining it) under light load ? What I'm looking for, but unable to find is what power requirements it sets in the USB power delivery beyond the end-user statement from apple that it needs to have USB-PD. Why am I looking for this: essentially I'm trying to solve the powering it in a car problem with a compact and safe solution.Īs far as I can find there's currently no USB-C with USB-PD _CAR_ adapter that goes above 9 volt 3 amp (27 watt). Why don't they do more than 9 volt: well that's kinda easy if you start form a 12Volt source I guess. There are inverters to 110 or 220 volt, that should accept a regular power brick.īut I've had terrible experiences with those so I'd rather avoid them if at all possible.

If I do have to go for an inverter, I noticed apple promotes on it's US store (I'm in the EU) a Kensington inverter. also how it reacts during starting the car while powering a laptop etc. I've been looking at a lot of stuff on this subject over the past week. This site comes rather close to answering a few things about it what a 13' 2016 MBP does demand from various power supplies:įrom the bits I read up there, they measured that a 2016 Macbook Pro 13' uses significantly less than 15 Watt of power (more like 10 Watt) when charged and idling from various power supplies tested. #2016 macbook pro 13 in battery spec pro# So that makes it perhaps even doable on a supply that only provides 5 Volt at 3 Amp (plenty of those around), but it's risky that the mac does have a bit of load and goes way over that supply's capabilities in consumption and drains its own battery in the process - still you'd extend the battery life significantly even with just that. #2016 macbook pro 13 in battery spec mac# #2016 macbook pro 13 in battery spec mac#.#2016 macbook pro 13 in battery spec pro#.
