Hi, I was wondering if you have documented what happens when the MagSafe is disconnected from the laptop. I notice that the LED (which is powered from the charger's voltage) goes out immediately, so I'd assume the charger actively detects if the plug has been disconnected?
I ask because I recently bought a MagSafe charger online (it's identical to the original one physically), and noticed that the LED remains on for a couple of seconds after disconnecting - something that never happens with genuine chargers - leading me to believe it is probably a knockoff.
