Many of these cheap clones being sold can in fact kill your system! Make sure you are using a real Apple MagSafe power adapter. Its getting harder to tell the real ones from the fakes! Apple has stopped being aggressive on stopping the sale of these units as they are migrating to USB-C chargers so their more of them out there now.
I strongly recommend you get a real unit from a real Apple Store or directly online from Apple to be sure. Yes, they are more expensive! But they are cheaper in the long term if you then need to get your logic board replace or repaired from their damage.
