USB-C vs. MagSafe

It is essential to know which type of port your MacBook has, because this determines which charger is compatible. At leapp you will find both USB-C chargers and MagSafe chargers, depending on your needs and MacBook model.
2. Avoid slow charging times
Slow charging times can be frustrating, but fortunately there are ways to prevent this. Make sure your MacBook software is up to date and close unnecessary apps and programs while it charges. Additionally, consider purchasing a MacBook stand or dock with a built-in charger to help your MacBook charge faster and more efficiently.
Extend the life of your MacBook battery
To extend the life of your MacBook battery, it is important to maintain your battery well. Some tips for this are:
Charge your MacBook to 100% and then leave it on the charger for about 2 hours. This will ensure that the battery is fully charged and will help calibrate the battery.
Try not to let your MacBook run out of power completely before recharging it. It is better to recharge your MacBook regularly, for example when it is at 30% or 40%.
Avoid extreme temperatures, both while charging and while using your MacBook. High temperatures can damage the battery and shorten its lifespan.
Wattage and power
MacBook chargers vary in wattage, which determines the amount of power the charger can deliver to your MacBook. It’s important to choose the right wattage to ensure your MacBook is getting the most out of its charge. In general, you can use a heavier charger than strictly necessary, but using a lighter charger is not recommended.Compatibility by model
