Overview

A smarter way to charge your batteries.

The sleek, compact Apple Battery Charger is all about efficient charging. It's optimized for Apple-supplied batteries, but it works with AA NiMH batteries from other companies, too. And with a feature that automatically reduces its power intake once your batteries are fully charged, the Apple Battery Charger is one of the most energy-efficient rechargeable battery solutions available.

It comes fully loaded. And then some.

Each Apple Battery Charger comes with six NiMH batteries — two for your keyboard, two for your mouse or trackpad, and two for charging. Not only do these high-performance batteries have up to a 10-year lifespan(1), they also hold a charge for an incredibly long time. So you always have power when you need it.

More charges. Less waste.

The Apple Battery Charger has one of the lowest standby power usage values — or "vampire draw" — of similar chargers on the market. That’s the energy that most chargers continue to draw even after their batteries are done charging. Unlike other chargers, the Apple Battery Charger senses when a battery charge cycle is complete and automatically reduces the amount of power it uses to 30 milliwatts — more than 10 times better than the industry average.(2)

Better for the environment.

With the Apple Battery Charger, you no longer have to buy or hassle with the disposal of batteries every few months. The charger works quickly and efficiently. And once your batteries are fully charged, it draws less power than many similar chargers on the market. (2)

    It's a 2 x AA Ni-MH battery charger

    • Written by from Douglas

    How can a little device like this create so much understanding? It does its job very well and in accordance with Apple's claims.

    -- it charges 2 cells at a time.

    Apple's description and pictures make this clear.

    -- the indicated charge in Apple's mouse preferences will not show 100%.

    This is nothing to do with the charger but with the battery chemistry. Non-rechargeable (or primary) batteries when new have a voltage of 1.5 V. Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries have a fully-charged voltage of 1.2 V, which is around 80% of 1.5. The "missing charge" hasn't gone anywhere as it was never there in the first place. Perhaps Apple should change the Preferences display to show voltage.

    So, the good points:

    It is very compact and sits quite happily in a standard power distribution strip (at least with UK plugs).

    It has a clear, simple indication of the charging state.

    Low current draw and effective charge management mean you can leave 2 batteries permanently on charge ready for swapping in.

    The 6 cells supplied are targeted at the current wireless keyboard and mouse - 2 cells in each device and 2 on charge ready to swap.

    I have yet to find out how long the cells will last. I get the impression that the charger implements a charging rate that will give the cells a long life. Rapid chargers can reduce the lifespan of Ni-MH cells.

    The only thing I thought could be better was the UK cost - so 4 stars.     …More

    Good little unit. Does everything you expect it too.

    Unlike others I expected it to charge 2 batteries at a time. A little look at the picture would have shown this.

    Charges batteries faster than I need them and that's all I can ask. No reason to grumble.     …More

    Saves you money on buying new batteries every month or so but...

    • Written by from Chester-le-Street

    Had this kit since December 9th 2011. I use it to power my apple trackpad and keyboard. I get on average about 7 to 8 weeks usage per charge on my trackpad and one day short of 20 weeks on my keyboard.

    However at this rate it will take 110 weeks for this kit to have paid for itself(that is buying Engerizer pack of 8 AA batteries at £5 each). That is 2 years and 6 weeks and that doesn't include the cost of charging up the batteries. That also assumes that I will continue to get the same amount of use per charge through out. Will I still get 7 to 8 weeks charge on my trackpad after 14 recharge cycles? Remember for my £25 I could have bought 40 Engerizer batteries.     …More

    OMG.. so bad..!!

    • Written by from Aalborg

    Not worth a whole lot..

    Allmost brand new and even after a full charge the gage only reads 80 %.
    After 1 hour in a magic mouse the charge is at 58 %.

    Worst product ever bought through Apple - save your money and get a generic brand from anywhere.     …More
