Apple - 2016 Macbook Pro 15" In Flight Power Solutions?

All of Apple's USB C chargers will charge your 15 inch MacBook Pro. To avoid the 75 watt limitation, grab one of the 61 watt chargers.

I use the MacBook charger (29 watt - same as iPad Pro charger) for most trips due to smaller size. I run software that drains the battery in 12 hours so I don't need the faster charging rates the 61 or 87 watt adapters provide.


While I prefer bmike's suggestion on using an Apple USB C charger, below are a number of Non-Apple suggestions you may want to check out:

  • Contact Voltaic Systems to see if they have a solution that works for the new 2016 MBP models. They have a battery pack, but I'm not sure if it will work with your model.
  • The PowerCore+ 20100 USB-C has had good ratings and my understanding is it works with 2016 MBP models. It's also available on Amazon.
  • AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 Portable Charger also works with MacBooks (but you'd have to double-check on the 2016 models)
