Review + promotion: Magic Charger, a charger for the Magic Mouse that works by induction [atualizado]

Every day we try to minimize the number of wires on our tables. With wireless devices, however, we are often faced with another problem: batteries and more battery cells that end up creating a mountain of toxic waste, harmful to the environment.

A very interesting technology is that of induction chargers, who knows one day we will have one on our iPhones, in which the charging of batteries is done without connectors, just by bringing the object closer to a base or electric field. Many gadgets have gained cool accessories with this technology, which do this task very competently; one of them is the Magic Charger, from Mobee, distributed in Brazil by Mobimax. This is what we will talk about today.

The device is nothing more than a battery itself, manufactured in the format of two AA batteries and attached to a cover compatible with the space available on the Magic Mouse, which, in contact with the charging base (connected via USB to your Mac or the a power source), keeps your mouse charged, eliminating that constant worry about changing batteries. The award-winning base design: very beautiful, clean and matches perfectly with Apple products.

It takes six hours for a full charge, preferably at times when you are not at home / work (at night, while you sleep, a great request). Regarding autonomy, the six days promised by the manufacturer come very close to reality. In my tests, after a full charge, I got energy for six and a half days, but that will depend on your intensity of use, of course.

To find out status charge, an LED opposite the Mini-USB connector on the base shows the following information:

  • Red: waiting;
  • Flashing red: failure;
  • Green: loaded;
  • Flashing green: charging.

In addition, in System Preferences you can track the percentage of your mouse load.

You must be wondering how long you can use your Magic Charger, right? The product's half-life is the same as that of a MacBook Pro battery, ie 500 cycles.

Watch a video, in English, that deals with some more details about it:
