Introducing the Apple Battery Charger

So you want to put your hands on that shiny new Magic Trackpad, but how are you supposed to use it? With batteries, of course. And which batteries? Apple’s ones, of course.

With a brand new Apple Battery Charger.

“The Apple Battery Charger sets a new industry standard: It has the lowest standby power usage value — or “vampire draw” — of any similar charger on the market. That’s the energy most chargers continue to draw after their batteries are fully charged. But the Apple Battery Charger senses when its batteries are done charging and automatically reduces the amount of power it needs. In addition, the reusable batteries that come with each Apple Battery Charger are designed to maintain a high charge capacity for hundreds of charges, so you no longer have to buy new batteries or toss them every few months.

When the Apple Battery Charger recharges your batteries, it not only maximizes battery performance and lifespan, it also conserves energy.

The Apple Battery Charger is as well designed on the outside as it is on the inside. It has a sleek, compact shape so you can plug it in between tangles of desk wires or pack it neatly in your computer bag when you travel.”

It’s shiny, it’s sexy, it looks beautiful next to a Magic Trackpad. The batteries are even shinier. I want one. Just for the sake of it.

Available at $29.
