Magic Box Makes HyperJuice External Mac Batteries MagSafe-Compatible [Batteries]

Apple recently decided to kick HyperMac-and its delightful external MacBook batteries-out of the clubhouse for selling patent-infringing MagSafe cables . Fortunately, life finds a means. Or in any case, computing peripherals do. Meet Magic Box .

Magic Box permits you to hook up your HyperJuice battery to a kosher MagSafe power adapter from Apple itself. It’s no bigger than Apple’s iPad 10W USB power adapter, and attaches to the cord of the MagSafe adapter your laptop came with.

Seems easy enough! And while it’s an annoying extra step that we didn’t should take several months ago, it’s still worth it for the amped-up battery life. Magic Box might be available this March for $50. [ HyperMac ]
