2011-01-07 23:37:45rev. 5Steve RussoAlso from Wikipedia: Measuring with no load will give 6.86 VDC; the full 16.5 V is provided to the proper load. Also, the charge control pin does indeed control the charging of the battery. After replacing my MagSafe adapter with a barrel connector, it no longer charges the battery.

2012-10-06 20:11:53rev. 7I have dismounted the plug and it connects trough 3 wires to the adapter, so it can not switch off the adapter. the switch on/off is done by loading the two wires in the cable.
