HyperMac is Back With Their External Batteries

"Remember HyperMac's awesome external battery packs for Mac notebooks? Remember how Apple made HyperMac cease sales of the devices due to the use of Apple's Magsafe technology? Well now the chargers are finally back and HyperMac's compromise with Apple is clear based upon how these new versions work."

The problem when they were pulled was due to the connector between the batteries and the MacBook, since HyperMac was using Apple's Magsafe technology and Apple put the legal eagles on the trail. To avoid this, they require you to purchase a Magsafe adapter from Apple that goes between the HyperMac battery and your MacBook. Problem is it doesn't actually charge your MacBook, it just allows you to use the battery's charge to keep you going, but in a pinch it's better than not having any power at all. According to HyperMac this is a temporary fix so stay tuned.

"We're still on the lookout for battery backup options to power recharge your iPhone, iPod touch or just about any USB mobile device. The market just got a bit larger with the introduction of the HyperMac line of batteries at Macworld."

The ones above, called the "Hypermac Mini" are currently on sale at the HyperMac website for $99.95 USD, a savings of $20.00 USD. These are rated at 7200 mAh and are supposedly able to give you enough capacity to charge your iPhone 6 times. They also claim the batteries will last for about 1,000 charges, and since they have inputs for USB, DC in and mini USB so you can also charge other devices. The other models are the Nano and Micro, rated at 1800 mAh and 3600 mAh respectively, with the Nano selling for $69.95 USD and the Micro selling for $89.95 USD.
