Adaptor or other way to use an old PowerBook Mag2 charger for a M1 MBP

 

I have several old chargers from my intel MBP.  Mag1 and Mag2.  For version 1 to version 2 there was an adaptor.  Is there any way I can use a version 2 for the M1 MBP?

No, the old MagSafe adapters will not work on newer MacBook Pro models.


The power-level negotiation protocol has been changed from an Apple proprietary version to a variant of USB-C power delivery.


Older MagSafe adapters are worth a few dollars on the used market.
