OK
I am looking to maybe buy a Goalzero Sherpa 50 kit which has an AC inverter that goes up to 75W.
I know the MBP is 85W and people saw it could draw too much over the 75W and fry it or pop a fuse etc.
BUT
I am looking at the idle watt consumption from apples site outlining idle consumption just over a single watt.
![]()
SO I am thinking it would work to charge the MBP 15inch when not in use or in idle etc.
AM I crazy?
Also would the bit about "modified sine wave" part matter here? does that have something to do with Hz as in 85W 50-60Hz for MBP 15in?
