Apple's new external Magsafe battery contains two batteries, or rather two battery cells.Its technical characteristics already seemed to indicate it, but this disassembly produced by the YouTubeur Charger Lab confirms it.Under the white plastic, there are two modules placed next to each other.

These two modules provided by ATL are set up in series to offer a total capacity of 11.13 Wh.The Magsafe battery operates at a voltage of 7.62 V, so that the displayed capacity of 1,480 mAh actually corresponds to a load capacity (at 5 V) of approximately 2,220 mAh.Our tests are still in progress, but fully loading an iPhone 12 should not be possible despite everything with this accessory, the fault of the losses caused by the induction load.

For the rest, disassembly confirms that the Magsafe battery is not thought of to be opened.You have to destroy the layer that sticks to the smartphone to access its components and there is no way offered to close everything.It’s not a surprise against the old shells with iphone batteries, but as much as it is.

There is also a great use of metal inside, including a plate that maintains all the components.It is not so much to ensure the rigidity of the whole, as to ensure good thermal dissipation, induction recharge which can cause overheating.According to the first feedback, it is effective and the Magsafe battery does not heat up too much.

The video also details the many components necessary for the proper functioning of the battery, with an ARM processor and several specialized chips that manage the batteries and the load.Other components are responsible for converting the current between the Lightning cable which will recharge the Magsafe battery, and the latter and the smartphone on which it is laid.As always with Apple, it is a more complex product that it looks, with more elements under the hood than you might think.
