The Apple Battery Charger is a battery charger which was sold by Apple Inc. and bundled with six AA batteries. It was introduced in July 2010 and marketed as a way to charge Apple's wireless Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and Apple Wireless Keyboard.[1] The charger was discontinued around 2016,[2] after Apple revised their peripherals with built-in batteries that can be charged with a Lightning connector.[3]

Charger

The charger has a white design, with a small indicator light on top that glows amber while the batteries are charging, and green once they are charged. It can charge two NiMH batteries at once,[1] and takes five hours for a full charge.[4]

Apple's main marketing claim for the product was that the charger had a standby power draw of 30 mW, compared to an industry average of 315 mW.[1][5][6]

Batteries

The charger was sold with six rechargeable AA batteries that use low self-discharge NiMH technology,[7] have a silver design and no Apple branding, and have an advertised capacity of 1,900 milliampere-hour (mAh).[1] Czech website SuperApple identified the batteries as likely being rebranded Eneloop HR-3UTG 1.2 volt batteries manufactured by Sanyo.[7][8]

According to Apple, these batteries were designed to have a service life of up to ten years and retain 80% of their capacity even after being stored for a year.[9] Engadget says the Sanyo Eneloop batteries are able to retain 75% of their charge after three years.[7]

Reception

Engadget criticized Apple for selling their charger and six batteries for $29 when Sanyo sold a charger and eight batteries for the same price.[7] SuperApple noted that Apple's then-current wireless peripherals used two AA batteries, but older Apple Wireless Keyboards used three; Apple's charger could only charge two at once.[4]

Apple marketed its battery charger as environmentally friendly due to a lower standby power draw, although Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineering professor Gerbrand Ceder criticized Apple for shipping peripherals that require disposable batteries, instead of non-removable lithium-ion batteries like many of Apple's competitors.[10]
