Reviews for Apple Battery Charger

Like the vast majority of NiMH batteries, these are rated at 1.2 volts, not the 1.5 volts that disposables pack. There are a few rechargables rated 1.5v but they are much more expensive than 1.2v ones.

I know. This surprised me too when I went shopping for rechargables. But it's what you get from just about every manufacturer.

Is that a problem? If your use case requires 1.5v, then it would be. But for most uses, including the powering of the peripherals Apple targets them for, 1.2v is a perfectly fine working voltage.

And, hey, you get 6 batteries. So keep a spare pair charging. It sort of doesn't matter how if you have to replace 12x a year (my experience with my mighty mouse on old fashioned batteries) or 14x or 10x.

I have these. So far they seem a good job and I would recommend them to people who don't get too freaked about the calibration of the % power meter.

 Beautiful, simple, clean design.
 User friendly and uncomplicated.
 Going Green just got easier.
 Another "win" for Apple.

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!!!

I love the feature my only regret is they don't offer more batteries you can purchase in addition to the set. it works great and I love them. I use them for my magic mouse and other things I have around the house.

They charge very quickly, and I love the light on the charger lets you know from afar if its good to go.

I love it, its gonna save me some cash

This charger is just perfect!!, great size, comes with 6 batteries that last longer than expected!, and the price is just great!, works like charm!, this is a must buy from apple!

If you can live with only being able to charge 2 batteries at a time, this is a fantastic charger. It's very small, which is great for me and the limited space I have. The batteries do not come fully charged but they've lasted at least 2 weeks now under very heavy use. And yes, it works with non-Apple products and batteries as well. I'm considering purchasing another.

It's really nice to see a company come up with something to reduce both landfill contaminates AND consumer cost. I've been looking for a way to have my replaceable battery items to have rechargeable batteries, the only thing holding me back was the initial cost. At $29 on average for a battery charger (without batteries, which depending on brand can be half the cost of the charger for only two), I considered that to be too pricy. I'm not saying the environment isn't worth it, but I'm just a blue collar worker, don't really have the $70+ to get all my devices on rechargeable. Well, thank you Apple Inc. and Mr. Jobs for giving me the opportunity to help the environment without costing me an arm and leg. This is a great product at the price, and with the battery type, I can get more than the initial six it comes with and still not cause my wife to go insane because I'm trying to save our environment and money for the long run.

Not only that this batteries charge much faster than others, it also has an indicator light which turns green once fully charged. Not many Ni-Mh chargers I know could possibly do that. About the batteries- Even after the fact that they have a lower mAh rating compared to other ones in the market(2300mAh), I could shoot upto 250 photos on my canon 10x zoom powershot with most photos shot with the flash. Now thats what I call as performance! Way to go Apple!
