Got two of them to support all the batter-powered Mac accessories we have. The only problem I've had is that between them they provide 6 sets of batteries and that is not enough of them. I'm gonna have to order another one.

It's barely been 2 weeks since I've started using these batteries/charger and after a single round, all I get now is a blinking amber light and no charge. Terribly disappointed.

I go way back with rechargeable batteries and have had mixed results with them. One thing i have learned is that they "remember everything" and you only get one chance to abuse them. With that i mean don't discharge them fully or they may reverse polarity, don't short circuit put them in some device which draws more current than they are designed for and under no circumstances leave them on charge forever because while the manufacturers intend this practice to "maintain" charge, what it in the ends up doing is shortening the lifespan. A rechargeable NMH or Li will show aslight "peak" in voltage just prior to (under a given discharge rate) it's beginning to fall off, for the most part this occurs around 30% or .8VDC (assuming a 1.25V cell) if you plot the terminal voltage verses remaining charge current. What this means is that if you recharge these little things whenever convenient, somewhere between 25 and 35% ond only until the indicator has chaged from amber to green (don't wait for it to turn off) these should last for many, many, many cycles. I hope this helps.

bought mine with a gift card. Batteries are installed according to the instructions on the charger. + is up toward the indicated light. orange light stays light for a few seconds then starts flashing. What the...? can't give it more than one start if it doesn't even work out the box.

I just bought 6 NiMh apple batteries with a charger a month ago. When the batteries went down to 10% in Magic Mouse, I recharged two AAs and it took 32 hours to see solid amber light turning to green light, and it shows only 88% full. Now i am charging the second pair of batteries to see how long it will take.

Is this a defective charger or battery problem? Very disappointing...

I've been an Apple booster for some 20 years but this charger is a miserable disappointment. The first one I bought was simply defective and had to be exchanged. The replacement charges, but almost never to 100%. The batteries last about 3 days in my mouse before I have to switch them out again. It can only be used with NiMH AA batteries, so all my other rechargeables are left sitting in a drawer. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought one of the more versatile (and less expensive) universal chargers that are available elsewhere.

This is another perfect product from apple.

The reason the batteries don't charge to 100% but instead to abut 80% is so the batteries last longer..!

I love the convenience of Apple rechargeable batteries, but they seem defective. The batteries are used between 2 of us at work. 1 Magic Mouse and 1 Mighty Mouse. 1st set of batteries wouldn't charge more than 50%. Apple sent a replacement that arrived the next day. These are slightly better, but when you check the battery level in your Bluetooth menu at the top it still reads about 80% full after a full 24 hour charge and after a charge when the green charge light turns off. We still use them because, aside from not getting a full charge, they work great.
