Apple Releases Its Own Battery Charger
Upon first seeing this on the official Apple website, we seriously thought that it was a joke. The Cupertino-based company has released its very own battery charger, and it's extremely sexy looking--so much, in fact, that we might have to revert back to using AA batteries in all of our devices, just so that we can have an excuse to charge them with this particular pearly white battery charger.
The Apple Battery Charger uses "vampire draw," and while that's not a reference to one of Joss Whedon's most popular television series, it refers to the charger's lowest standby power usage value. The charger can also gauge when the batteries are finished charging and ready to pop out of the oven.
The kit comes with six AA NiMH batteries--two for your keyboard and two for your mouse and trackpad, plus two that are always charged. Additionally, you can use the charger for third-party batteries.
