Not when they cost £65 from nearly everywhere , sadly the charger is the crappest part of it.

They have a 1 star rating on apples website!

My original lasted 2 1/2 years, bought a cheap one lasted 3 weeks.

All this happened to me too-all in the same timeframe too, I also bought one off e-bay (85w) turned out it was only a 65w, utter crap

at that price I may buy a backup as our new kitten is in chewing mode.!!
