How Can I Charge My Apple Laptop Without A Charger

Charging of the laptop is very crucial as the battery is the primary source of power for the laptops, but sometimes one can forget its Apple laptop’ s charger while going out which can be frustrating. Since Apple laptops are quite different from the Windows operating system laptops, you cannot use any other laptop charger as Apple manufacturers are quite picky about such things. But do not worry, there are some ways by which you can charge your Apple laptop without a charger, and I have explained them in detail.

Charging an Apple laptop without charger

Picking up a charging method for the laptop other than using its own charger should be done carefully as these laptops are quite sensitive to voltage and current ratings. So, there are the three following ways that you can use to charge your Apple laptop without using its own charger.

Charge your Apple laptop using a laptop power bank

Power banks nowadays are very common portable energy sources among the people as they come in handy when your smart phone, laptop or any other battery-operated device is running out of juice. Moreover, if you forgot to pick your laptop charger with you but have the power bank then you can use the power bank to charge your Apple laptop.

However, if you are planning to buy one then you should first check its voltage and current ratings if they match with the ratings of your Apple laptop. Also check for the type of ports on your Apple laptop as most of the Apple laptops have Type C ports so in that case you might be needing USB Type A to USB Type C cable.

Charge your apple laptop using a portable solar charger

Another way for charging your Apple laptop is using a portable solar charger but first you need to have one. There are a whole bunch of solar chargers available in the market for sale but very few of them are able to charge the electronic devices efficiently. Again, you will be needing a USB cable depending upon the ports that your laptop has and click here to see a solar charger that is worth buying.

Charge your Apple laptop using your car charging socket

There are a wide range of chargers available in the market that can be used in cars to charge laptops by plugging them into the cigarette lighter of your car. Once the charger is plugged in the cigarette lighter, connect your Apple laptop with it using the USB Type A to Type C cable and if you are interested in buying one click here. Moreover nowadays in the latest cars a 120 volts socket is also given which you can either find in the boot or at the back of the center armrest. In case you are not traveling and want to charge your Apple laptop then you need to start your car and keep the engine running while charging so that required voltage is provided to the laptop.

Conclusion

Seeing your Apple laptop fully charged is sometimes the best feeling ever, but this feeling can be changed into frustration when your Apple laptop is running out of charge and surprisingly either you left your charger at home, or it has become faulty. In that case you still have a number of options to charge your Apple laptop and I have explained some of them in detail.
