The current Apple MagSafe Adapter is for airline use only; doesn't adapt for auto use; and, doesn't charge your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air laptops. Running a G4 I can only say "such a deal!" Comments at Apple site are quite mixed. I'm going to guess that the answer to the question is in the negative as to both Apple as well as 3rd Party products. Looks like it's going to be a situation of keeping contacts clean and keeping an eye on whether or not it's actually getting power without an indicator at/on, the PB.

However, one deficiency it has in comparison to the newer Apple AC power adapters, is the Apple hot tip that lights up orange or green disclosing whether needing charging, or, charged. The Kensington "portable" adapter doesn't have that type tip which on occasion, proves to be problematic, in not alerting when the connection may be open. Are there third party models that do? Does Apple, which I expect has its own portable adapter, have one in keeping with the informative power tip? It's a great feature compared to not having it at all.
