Hi Severin,

For $45 - Free Shipping
"Each Apple Battery Charger comes with six high-performance AA NiMH batteries — 
two for your keyboard, two for your mouse or trackpad, and two for charging. 
Unlike many other reusable batteries, these batteries have an incredibly long 
service life — up to 10 years. Which means you can finally break the cycle of 
buying and disposing of those toxic, single-use alkaline batteries. The 
batteries that come with the Apple Battery Charger kit also have an 
extraordinarily low self-discharge rate. Even after a year of sitting in a 
drawer, they still retain 80 per cent of their original charge3. That way you 
always have backup power when you need it."

Cheers,
Ronni
