Dell PD-96W 96W USB-C power adapter
The Dell PD-96W is a 96 watt USB-C power adapter rated at 20.5 volts and 4.7 amps. It is designed for MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models from 2021 to 2025, plus MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch models up to 2024. A 6.6 foot magnetic cable with LED indicator is included. Builders using devices outside the listed model range should look elsewhere.
Sustained 96W delivery with thermal monitoring
The adapter maintains its full 96 watt output during extended charging sessions rather than throttling after a short burst. Internal hardware and software protections guard against over-current, over-voltage and overload conditions. Temperature is actively monitored to protect both the charger and the connected device. Users who need continuous high-wattage operation for demanding workloads will find the design suited to that profile.
USB-C PD limits and magnetic cable constraints
The USB-C interface negotiates up to 20.5 volts at 4.7 amps within the Power Delivery specification, so any host must support that profile to reach 96 watts. The magnetic cable provides a secure yet detachable connection and shows yellow while charging, green when complete. It is not a data cable and cannot be used for video or high-speed transfer. Owners of pre-2012 or 2012-2020 MacBooks cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item
How warm does the 96 W adapter get when I leave it charging a MacBook Pro 16-inch all day?
The power adapter includes over-current, over-voltage and overload protection plus intelligent temperature monitoring, so it manages heat during extended charging sessions.
My MacBook Pro 14-inch only has USB-C ports — will the magnetic cable plug straight in?
Yes, both ends of the 6.6 ft cable are USB-C and the magnetic tip attaches directly to the MacBook Pro 14-inch USB-C charging port.
Can the 20.5 V 4.7 A output safely charge a MacBook Pro 16-inch model A2485 that I still use alongside a newer M-series laptop?
The adapter is listed as compatible with MacBook Pro 16-inch model A2485 and other 2021-2025 M-series machines, so it will charge both.
