This product is one of the few let downs i have experienced with an apple product. Batteries do not fit properly and after four charge cycles my battwries no longer hold a charge for more than several days. Very dissapointed.

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.

I like the design and thought it's from Apple, must be good. But it doesn't charges the batteries full, 70% is the maximum I get. Disappointing, the charger should look good AND charge.

I wanted to love this product, but all three sets of batteries flashed amber after charging them, and once installed in my wireless mouse, only registered about 50% capacity. I will return this product to the Apple Store for another, hoping I can change my assessment.

This is not a good product from Apple, I had to return it because the batteries drain really fast on the wireless keyboard and also registered only 45% on a full charge (green light), on the magic mouse it registered 85%... I get my Apple stuff from best buy because they have a 30 day return policy not like the 15 days from the Apple store and also no restocking fee except for the iPhone ;)

It is true that the Apple wireless keyboard and Apple magic mouse both show at most 80% battery level with these batteries. It has something to do with the voltage of the rechargeable batteries. That is not a huge deal.
Here is my issue with this battery charger and batteries.
After letting a set of batteries charge for a few days, I removed them from the charger, and kept them on my desk, putting another set of batteries in to charge.
A week later I put the charged batteries that were on my desk in my magic mouse, and it showed only 9% charge left, and I immediately got a low battery warning. Mouse stopped working a day later, and I had to replace the batteries.

This has occurred several times for me. Now I can occasionally get 40% charge out of them if I charge them right before use. These have only been charged a handful of times a piece and the charger is only about 6 months old. Maybe I just have a bad batch of batteries. Maybe if you buy this you will have better luck. Feel lucky?

Apple should be embarrassed and replace them with normal rechargeable batteries. Apple found the worst rechargeables in the World and put a shiny silver label on them for marketing. 80% when fully charged and Trackpad went down 10% in one day. I have absolutely no interest in recharging these batteries every week. Duracell batteries last more than six months on my keyboard (less with Trackpad). Apple? We are waiting for you to acknowledge and correct this defective product.

I really hoped that I would get a reliable battery charger from Apple but it failed after only a few charges. It is still under Warranty but what a hassle to have to send it back.
First of all it doesn't work well with ALL brands. I have 4 different brands and some flash orange ~ meaning not charging/not compatible?
Then when I went to charge the Apple batteries that came with it and found only one side of the charger works. Good thing I have a battery tester so I can figure out which battery has a charge.
Nice design, very compact but not the Quality I expected. :(

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!!!
