HyperJuice 1.5 Batteries Are the Only Portable Power for Your MacBookS

While you might get all-day battery life with a 13" MacBook Air, other Apple laptops don't share the same luxury—especially if you're a power user. Because of Apple's proprietary MagSafe charger, only one company—Hyper—offers an external battery that can actually keep you powered on the go. Although expensive, their latest batteries provide a level of versatility that warrants the cost if you're always in need of a little extra power.

HyperJuice 1.5 external batteries don't require a MagSafe adapter for full use. You can get a reasonably-sized pack with 60Wh of juice (or go up to a crazy 222Wh in a much larger size) and use it just to charge USB gadgets. The small back has two ports and it'll provide enough juice to last you a week or more. It can even act as a charger on its own, as it will charge your gadgets while charging itself when plugged into the wall.

Of course, the real benefit does come in when you charge your MacBook. Hyper had to perform a bit of magic to make this work, as Apple doesn't allow anyone else to create MagSafe adapters. The result? You modify the power adapter yourself or pay Hyper to do it for you, allowing you to use it with both the battery, car charger, and a regular one.

All of this versatility offers a very good, unique charging solution for MacBook owners, but it comes at a premium. If you want to use their batteries for charging your MacBook, you'll need to pay at least $200 for the battery and modification kit. For $50, they'll do it for you. Prices go upwards along with battery capacity and much as $550 for a whopping 222Wh of external power. Apple accessories tend to cost a lot, so this shouldn't come as much of a surprise to any Mac owner. That said, Hyper's batteries offer a very good charging proposition for all your stuff and make it possible to keep your MacBook up and running wherever you go. They're also your only option.
