    Fantastic Milage!

    • Written by from Carnegie

    I must admit I was slightly dubious of these batteries given several negative reviews, but I am utterly astounded by the life of the batteries between charges. I was using a standard battery charger and batteries for both my keyboard and mouse prior to this (both were non-apple) and I was having to recharge every fortnight- even if I powered down the devices overnight.

    The apple batteries last at least 2 months for me so far between charges and I have had these batteries for almost a year. I don't even power down the keyboard and mouse overnight anymore!

    Long Lasting

    • Written by from Milford

    I purchased the charger and batteries 3.5 years ago with my iMac for the keyboard and mouse and have had great results. The iMac has almost everyday use, and the batteries last 3-4 months. And, when they do die, it only takes a couple hours for a recharge. There has not been any drop in performance and no other complaints that come to mind. I would recommend these for everyone

    Does the job!

    • Written by from Leamington Spa

    Purchased this to support my mouse and keyboard and it works really well. Yet again, after reading the reviews on this product, there are lots of mixed reviews but so far it has worked really well and the charge is holding good for a mouse and keyboard that get used daily for a few hours at a time.

    Second time around - and it works well

    • Written by from Westcliff on Sea

    My previous review was highly critical, due to the fact that the battery charger unit did not fit!

    However, one call to Apple Customer Services, and within 24 hours I had a complete replacement. Sent back the defective unit this morning.

    Great service from Apple and I have to say the charger is excellent.

    Nice design but poor performance

    • Written by from Granada Hills

    It's a nice, stylish compact unit, but when it comes to the crunch the experience is not so nice. The batteries that come with the charger are pathetic, lasting a lot less time than other rechargeable batteries, meaning you will be continually changing out the batteries in your mouse.

    The charger itself (and I must admit this may be down to the poor quality batteries, I'm not sure of the technical details) does a poor job of charging the batteries, often charging them to an incomplete level. Right out of the box the charger from time to time would give a blinking orange light suggesting the official Apple batteries are incompatible (this is when the batteries are seated correctly).

    In short, chances are you already own a battery charger, and you're thinking about getting this to compliment your Apple products. If that's the case, I'd say: don't bother. Stick with another charger.

    Excellent

    • Written by from Worcester

    Impressed with the battery life, only complaint is the lack of availability of additional batteries.

    EVERLASTING BATTERIES!

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    i purchased these batteries for my apple wireless keyboard about a month ago, and have been using one pair for almost a month now without ever recharging it. I use the keyboard 3 days a week for about 12 hours non-stop, and I am amazed how long one pair of batteries can last! Was sceptical before buying because many reviews said they don't last, but try it for yourself! They sure do work for me! VERY SATISFIED!!!

    Good Charger, Except...

    • Written by from Orleans

    This is a great charger that charges fast. It's compact, sleek and doesn't take up much room. But when I got it, it only came with 2 batteries, NOT 6. I'll be calling Customer Support on this one. But besides that, you should get this charger because its so great. (You Probably won't have the problem I have.)

    They don't last long.

    • Written by from New York

    They last about 17 days in the Magic Mouse with a usage of 10 hours a day.

    After a year the charger and the batteries started acting up. It's hard now to get them to charge. Often the amber light will blink and i have to remove and reinsert the batteries and the charger a dozen times to get them to charge. This wasn't a problem in the first year and i don't do anything differently now.

    It's interesting that the warranty expiry and the onset of problems coincide.

    Does not work for more than one year

    • Written by from Yeronga

    It is a very disappointing product from Apple. It is promised in the description that the batteries will work for 10 years, however my batteries died one year after the purchase. They were not simply charging at all, the amber flash was always flashing.

    Since you can't buy extra batteries, I bought a new charger with another 6 batteries. Guess what happened one year after? The batteries died again.

    Will not charge other batteries

    • Written by from Milton Keynes

    Very nice looking product but will not charge other branded batteries I have, even though they are apparently compatible, so maybe not a good buy if you have other rechargeable batteries that you want to use. You can't even buy the apple batteries separately !!

    Meets or Exceeds Expectations - Good Price !!!

    • Written by from Longmont

    I was very happy with this product. It worked as expected. The battery charge lasts a sufficient amount of time - although noticeably shorter than regular batteries. You just need to keep the 3 sets of batteries regularly charged as the batteries will lose their charge if they are just sitting around. For the affordable price - I would suggest getting two - if you have multiple Macs.

    Keep electrodes clean

    • Written by from Glendale

    Today after observing blinking amber, I took an old tooth brush and scrubbed the electrodes. The device worked well after that.

    Garbage.

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    Poor performance, not compatible with other batteries. Choose this product and you get mediocre battery life and charging speeds.

    Worth The Money

    • Written by from Thornton

    I bought the Apple Battery Charger a few months ago and have been very pleased with the performance.

    I use the batteries in my Magic Pad and Magic Mouse and the charge lasts a good 3 -4 weeks before needing a charge. I use my Magic Mouse with my MacBook Pro on a daily basis and I am truly surprised at the length of time between charges.

    The only issue I have is that the Apple does not see the batteries separately. Reading the Questions & Answers for the product, any good quality NiMH rechargeable batteries will work. Instead of wasting money with trial and error, I purchased a second Battery Charger. Glad I did as I now have at least 8 batteries always ready to use.

    Short battery life and poor charger

    • Written by from Fitzroy

    Charged battery life is very short (keyboard and mouse) - only days sometimes. Charger has short-circuited and is now unusable. Would stay clear of this product. Use another vendor's or non-rechargeable batteries.

    Junk!

    • Written by from woodland hills

    Stopped working after only about 7 days. The recharged batteries empty out only after 1 day. I went back to energizer batteries. What a waist of my money!!!
