The Apple Battery Charger is a battery charger formerly made by Apple Inc.

Product description[]

The charger is supplied with six batteries that were identified by a Czech website in 2010 to be rebranded Eneloop HR-3UTG Sanyo-manufactured rechargeable batteries (1.2V 1900mAh).[1]

Apple claims that these batteries will offer a service life of up to ten years, and retain 80% of their capacity even after being stored for a year.[2] The battery charger was discontinued on January 15, 2016.[3]

Energy efficiency[]

Apple designed the charger so that the batteries draw less energy from the national power grid than other comparable chargers; as a result, energy efficiency is improved. According to Apple, at 30 mW, the standard power usage of the charger is ten times better than the industry average.[4][5]
