HyperMac - External Battery for 32 hours

32 is plenty...I am look for something like 12 to 16 hours anyways for my uni macbook.

The price is steep but I might do the 150WH.

MBP 222 is extremely bulky but may have its uses for some very specific tasks for some very special people :) -----> not me :)
 
$99 for the cable + the cost of the External Battery?

That's close to being a scam. They're selling the battery for as low as $199 to give the impression of it being cheaper overall that it actually is by overcharging for the cable.

It's just a cable, nothing special. Standard connector at one end, magsafe at the other.

If it started at $199 INCLUDING the cable, I don't see that as too bad.

only $149 for the car charger? why not buy 3 while your there :D
 
On their page:

"Constant usage will at least double the internal battery life span which is important considering that newer MacBooks all have built-in non-removable batteries."

Well, the 13" and 15" have removable batteries...

It does come with the cable for $199:

"What's in the box

HyperMac External Battery
1 x MacBook charging cable with MagSafe connector
AC power supply 100-240V (for charging HyperMac)
Printed documentation"

Seems like a good deal.
 
Cool

A google search seems to show that this is brand new.

Nifty... I like it... little pricey for me, but then I am usually around power!

I usually get somewhere between 3-6 hours battery life on my mac, though I am usually not timing it.

It wasn't clear on the website at the first glance.
 
I'm very interested. I fly to Asia and the flight is about 14 hours just over the ocean; then add the 6 more hours to fly to the final destination and maybe 4 hours of waiting.

27 hours from the 222mWh sounds terrific.

Would this work? http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A I'm not sure how many airlines offer seat power ports.

Some newer airlines have it, but often only in business class or first class. No way I'm paying for business class when I can get the big battery for $500 and business class would cost at least 6x that!

I fly/travel a ton too for work...I would love one, hopefully we will see competitors start putting out even more portable versions of External batteries....maybe :apple:...never?

Great to see a company rep on here. I've already placed an order as I was hoping to review it for others on this site. I've noticed that I've already been charged. Does that mean you guys are close to shipping?

Also, how long is this free car adapter promo going to last? I was hoping to try my first external battery out first and see if I want another one.

Lastly, how much of a difference between the the version with the Macbook cable and the one with the Macbook Air cable? What if I accidently switched them?

Thanks!
