    Testing an Apple charger model 1184

    I got a box full of Macbook chargers (about 100) as part of an electronics cleanout. Also got the wall plug for them (WAY more than 200). I didn't get the laptops that they fit. Is there a way to test the chargers without the notebooks?

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    The wires on the charges can be fragile. The thin wire that goes into the laptop tends to weaken when people wrap them up at the opposite end. When storing them you have to put a loop on the end that connects to the charger and then wrap it up. My wifes went bad after only a year and when we went to get it replaced the Apple tech showed her how to store it properly. Look to see if that end has a crease in them and if they do most likely they are going to be shot.
