I did a brief search and couldn't find anything.
But I was wondering if it was possible to buy more of the batteries with out the charger? I know the generic consensus is that they are just re-branded Eneloops, but it'd be nice to have all the batteries be the same.
I am trying to find out if it is safe for my apple keyboard and magic mouse if i user rechargeable batteries. I am having issues find a straight up yes or no.
Does anyone know. Just a quick answer would be awesome..
My battery for my 12" Powerbook G4 is munted and i need a new one. There are a few around for about $90AUD from 3rd party re-sellers which is less than half the $200AUD apple want for a genuine battery.
So i'm just wondering, has anyone got any recommendations about 3rd party batteries? i know it will probably vary a bit depending on where they're from, but i spose i'm just wondering if its worth the extra $100?

I need more rechargeable batteries as I've used up all the ones that come with the Apple charger. Since Apple doesn't sell them separate I'm just wondering if I go get some Sanyo batteries will they work for sure with my Apple charger since they are similar or is there a chip in them to stop them working with 3rd party batteries like on a notebook battery?
it says my keyboard is at 55% out of the box and I'm wondering if these are like other batteries that don't charge fully if you don't charge them all the way first?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI picked up a pair of the apple batteries/charger for use with my magic mouse and wireless keyboard. I still had some juice in my current batteries so charged each set of two batteries for 24 hours and then put them in a drawer. Fast forward two weeks and my magic mouse has reliably run out of juice and when I put in two of the batteries, my mac states the charge at 74%. I've read in some of the other posts that because of the way NiMH and alkaline batteries differ, it is normal to have slightly lower ratings, but 74%?????
Most people reporting stated they got 85%, has anyone else gotten 74% on first run?
Are these batteries defective or is there something about my charging routine that caused them to be so much lower?
I've read on the net that the batteries that come with apples charger are sanyo eneloops.
Does this mean i can buy a pack of eneloop batteries and they will work with my charger?
Why has Apple not recalled the batteries in the white macbooks(early 2009) when it is very evident that these batteries have a manufacturing fault? Mine has swollen after 112 recharges but should have lasted 300 recharges before only having 80% capacity after which it will still work, just not as many hours. Because of the excessive cost of Apple batteries and Apple's releuctance to recall defective products my next laptop will be a windows8 machine.

Can anyone assist me in find the promotional video that Apple did when it went to non-removable batteries? I would like to find it in a high quality format. I need it for a school presentation. I've found it on YouTube, but the quality is not that great.

Does anyone know of cases that will allow AAA batteries to be the correct size to fit in and be charged in the Apple Battery Charger? I'm thinking something along a case that just extends the metal contacts so it can be charged and then taken out to be used after charging is done. Didn't have any luck doing google searches.

my MacBook Pro is dead and quit recognizing any chargers. I just had to replace the charger a month ago and have it reset at the same time in the store. However I live in Mexico and going to a Mac store is not action here. The computer has no damage and I've only had it for a year.

I purchased a Macbook Air 11-inch in March. I previously had owned a first-generation MacBook Pro 15-inch, and was just curious as to whether it is safe to use the charger from my Macbook Pro 15-inch to charge my new Macbook Air.
The following is what appear on the chargers:
Macbook Pro (First generation): Apply 85W Portable Power Adapter
Macbook Air (Latest model): Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adapter
Is the older charger safe to use and will it not damage the battery on my new Macbook Air?

I have a new (mid 2012) Mac Book Air. I'm noticing that the power jack on these new laptops are a bit wider and my power cords for the older MBA and/or MBP's do not fit and don't charge this MBA. How annoying!! Why the F did they change this power jack size??

My white MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo is not charging the battery anymore. It says "No Batteries Available" and it works only with the cable plugged in. I already tried the following:
- buy new battery - FAIL
- reset SMC (30 seconds procedure) - FAIL
- reset SMC (5 seconds procedure) - FAIL
I brought the Mac at the Apple Genius. They say there has been a liquid leak and asked me $780.00 for the repair (it does not make sense to pay this amount for this computer). I am not aware of any liquid leak. Yes, I had my MacBook in my backpack during rainy days but I had an umbrella. Anyway, I would like to have any advice about (i) where I could bring my Mac to repair (I live in the Bay Area) or (ii) what I could try to replace, following tutorials (like the very good ones on ifixit site).
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 13 it was working OK but now has come up no batteries detected and I have tried a pram reset, smc reset and a new battery but still no luck. I did manage to get it to work for a while by turning it on with the power adapter connect then restarting it but at the point of the restart I pulled the power and it came on with the battery.
If I start it with the power adapter connected and then pull the power it will boot to the login screen briefly then go into sleep until I reconnect the power. When the power adapter is connected it just has a solid green light at all times never changes even if I do the smc reset.

It ran fine off of a battery, but won't charge. I replaced the DC board and the power adapter, but it still won't run or charge off the battery. I think the original power adapter was bad and ruined the original DC board and the new one. I'm going to try one more DC board and if it doesn't work then give up the parts on eBay. Problem is, I need the data off the hard drive. Is there anyone in the Kansas City area who has an iBook 14" 1.42 GHz and would would be willing to charge the batteries for me? I wonder if the Apple Store might do this? This way, I can turn on the iBook and copy the data to another machine.

The only thing i can think of is that apple possibly had a used macbook come in and they switched out some parts and changed it to the new one? btw it was bought new at best buy.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI think built in batteries are a good idea , but having to give your computer to apple and pay 200.00 after your battery dies is not.
how have your built in battery experiences been?
do they last long as stated 7 hours?
not sure if i want to make the switch , i like my removable battery.
My MBP 15" Hi-Res Glossy i7 is on the way (ordered on 19th) and I was just wondering how the batteries on these machines were doing. I've seen a lot of feedbacks from great (8~9 hrs) to average (4~6 hrs) to bad (2~3 hrs). So how is it that these reports are varying so much? Is it possible for numerous defects to be out in the world right now?

I've got the dreaded "No batteries available" at the top of my taskbar. The Power Source says: Battery. I have my laptop plugged & it is showing a green light. What is a simple way that I can fix this problem? I can't go to a Genius Bar because the closest Apple Store is over 120 miles away. The battery is a little over 2 years old

My magic mouse and keyboard both were not working. I pulled the battery cover over the mouse and saw that the Apple supplied batteries made quite a nice mess inside it. Did the same to the keyboard and there is a nice mess in there too. In both devices one of the batteries exploded. I was able to clean the keyboard a little bit and it will turn on, but the mouse will not. I got both of them with my 27" iMac I got a few months ago. Has this happened to anyone else, and does anyone know if Apple will replace the mouse for something like this?
