Charging solution for older MacBook Pro

[DogHouseDub]

Wanted to share that the combination of:

Satechi 108W USB-C charger

plus

USB-C to MagSafe cable

charges my 2015 MacBook Pro like a champ. I was previously unsuccessful with a 45W Anker USB-C charger.

Since the cable is what always fails (for me) on the Apple charger this is an ideal solution. + additional charging ports for other stuff.

Plus you can also fast charge your iPhone or Samsung usb-c phone with it with the appropriate cable.

I have that cable. Works ok with my MBP 13's, but struggles with the 2012 MBP 15 as it only puts out 60 watts. (It doesn't matter if you plug it into a higher wattage USB C adapter as the cable itself tells the laptop only 60 watts are available) Sometimes it won't charge if we're doing something intensive with the MacBook.
