Batteries are essential for your MacBook or MacBook Pro, most of us charge them whenever near a power outlet by simply plugging them in. But there are those situations when you need a spare battery or even more than one spare. Mac laptop owners can now use FastMac’s universal laptop battery charger. Named “U-Charge”, the device can charge a virtually infinite list of Apple laptops – ranging from iBooks to MacBooks.

The $69 universal charger includes a variety of different adaptors, for the different Apple laptops that it can power. The following Macs can be charged by the U-Charge:

• iBook G3 12-inch
• iBook G4 12-inch
• MacBook 13-inch
• MacBook Pro 15-inch
• MacBook Pro 17-inch
• PowerBook G3 Bronze (Lombard)
• PowerBook G3 Pismo
• PowerBook G4 12-inch
• PowerBook G4 15-inch

Almost all of Apple’s notebook lineup for 5 years is there, with the exception of the MacBook Air, which does not have a removable battery. Unfortunately, it’s not available right now – but FastMac expects to ship these within the next 30 days.
