When I first looked at this new Apple product, I wondered why Apple would build and sell something as mundane as a battery charger. When I mentioned it to our service manager, Patrick told me to take a closer look and showed me why. This little device is over 10 times more efficient than the average charger. When the batteries are full, it goes into a sleep mode that only consumes 30 milliwatts. (average charger is 310mw) Then consider that the NIMH (Nickel Metal Hydride ) batteries have a life of up to 10 years. With 2 AA’s for your keyboard and 2 for your mouse (plus 2 spares ready and waiting) this little charger will keep a bushel basket of batteries out of the landfill! Plus, keep a little more green in your pocket.
Apple Battery Charger – $29
comes with charger, wall plug and 6 NiMH AA batteries.
That’s really cool. I like that it actually goes to sleep and doesn’t just constantly charge. I want one!
