$30 gets you six great looking AA rechargeable batteries, and a beautiful wall charger. If Apple is to be believed, their batteries are actually greener and better than other rechargeable batteries. Kind of makes sense when you realize that Duracel is in the selling batteries business, not in the saving the world business. I think Apple is probably using their better, greener batteries to push cool, high-margin tech like the wireless keyboard, mouse, and trackpad.

Regardless of why and the thinking behind their batteries, I’m glad they’re doing it. I suspect I’ll end up with a set.
