Hardwire Apple MagSafe

Richiewill83 · Sep 5th, 2023, 20:41

Hi all,

I have an Apple MagSafe charger connected to a usbC adaptor going into the 12v socket.

To neaten things up, can I hardwire the cable into a 12v piggyback fuse?

Never opened one of the cables up but it would make sense that I can just connect the power and ground to the 12v piggyback as I would with a normal extra circuit.

Any help appreciated so I can get rid of this cable dangling 😂

If memory serves its a bit of a hungry beast, power wise - so hardwiring onto the same ciruit as the existing 12v ciggy lighter will put a load on that circuit - so you're more likely to blow a fuse if you run the magsafe and another power hungry device on the ciggy lighter.

I'd wire it into the ignision directly (with a FUSE) not the battery circuit...

Good luck

Rather than opening the existing cable why not use something like this and hide it away under a panel:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266256430...3ABFBMvsyVmc9i
