Yes it fully charges. Sadly, I realized way too late that I had the smaller charger. It was at about month 14 after purchase! :( Doubt I would get anywhere with Apple at this point!

The charger supplies power and does work to keep the Macbook Pros from losing battery power; but thats all it seems to be able to do. It does NOT seem to be able to actually charge up the battery as I have watched the battery capacity meter for hours and it merely sustains it at the level it was plugged in at. I know the 85Watt adapter works on the 13" but I don't use it as I might forget and am not sure if it would cause any damage or harm because it is a larger capacity charger.
