While traveling abroad, can I use this device with a macbook charger to charge a macbook pro? I don't want to fry my device.

Yes, it will work. But your macbook already has a power adapter all you need is to change the tip of the wall plug.

No. While your charger will fit into the device, the device doesn't have the correct plugs to fit into a standard device in Europe.

I do not see why not. I have charged different electronics and never had a problem. I love mine. Comes in very handy when you are not able to plug in a wall or traveling.

I wish I could help with that question. I know that we own a kit for power adapters when we travel. Perhaps you could look in to that.

Certainly. Just plug its USB cable into your USB charger. The USB charger that you use must have the appropriate wall plug for the country you are in, of course. The unit charges best with a USB charger that has 2.1 amps of output at 5 volts, like the one that comes with an iPad. The input power is 1.5 amps at 5 volts, but this is all independent of what country you are in.

I'm not 100% sure. I know my Mac tells me when the battery gets below 20% so at that point I just put it on the charger, so you shouldn't run into your scenario ever.

Yes! Depending on where you will be travelling however, you may need to purchase a separate travel adapter in order to use the outlet to recharge your device.

I have it plugged in to a MAC Powerbook. It is USB 2.0, I see no reason why it would not work.

It will charge it just fine! I use this exact charger on my MacBook, MacBook Pro 13", an MacBook Pro 15" Retina. Having more wattage is okay, it's having not enough where the problem lies. If I recall, 15" and 17" MBP require 85w whereas the MBP 13" require 60w. The MBP 13" will only take as much power as it needs, so it won't be the full 85w. This is similar to when your iPhone can charge using the iPads 2.1a charger AND the supplied iPhone .5a charger. The iPhone only draws as much power as needed.

This will "work" but not charge at full power because this charger does not have the data pins soldered together the way they are supposed to be for the "dedicated charging port" standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Charging_ports_and_accessory_charging_adapters I have posted a user image showing how I was able to modify the device to correct the issue.

Hi Roge,I used it to charge my Macbook and 2 mobile phones at the same time and everything fine and still working :)

I am not sure, we do not have a Macbook. Have only charged tablets and phones with charger

As far as I know, the 60W charger/power supply that ships with the Macbook Pro works on 120 or 240 VAC electrical systems. I assume you will have to buy an adapter to connect your charger to European style plugs.

Hi, David. Thank you for your question. The Gridder cannot charge a MacBook Pro. The Gridder supplies the USB standard of 5V, while the MacBook Pro charges at a higher voltage.

No, you cannot charge through USB. For an iPhone, 5W is required, for MacBook Pro, 60W is required (although 85 W is recommended). (So MBP would take 12 times longer than an iPhone.) If you got a suitable 12v inverter to connect to the MacBook Pro's power pack, that would be fine. I *think* a modified sine wave inverter will be sufficient (as opposed to pure sine wave inverter). (In general, never use a modified sine wave inverter for anything that spins or relies on nice AC power (audio equipment comes to mind) you'll end up damaging something.)

I wouldn't want anybody to fry their device. That port is designed to handle tablets and larger devices. I have used it on my regular phone and it seemed like it actually charged it faster but I couldn't say whether it's advisable to assume that every device is compatible. Try it at your own risk.

I cant see why not. I personally havnt done that myself. All USB chargers send out a 5volt charge. So given its a car charger or laptop...still the same.
