Rechargeable Power Bar powers Apple Magic Trackpad

Business IT - Technology

Fed up with swapping batteries in your Magic Trackpad? The Mobee Power Bar allows in-place charging.

But Mobee's Power Bar does away with that. It is a rechargeable battery pack for the Magic Trackpad that includes a microUSB socket for recharging.

Mobee officials say the battery takes six hours to charge from empty, and allows 10 days use. It's rated for 500 cycles, and has a one-year warranty.

Announced at CES, the Power Bar is scheduled to ship in early March. The Australian price hasn't been announced, but the US price will be $US29.
