Hasta La Gadget!

The HyperMac/HyperJuice legal saga started in September when Apple sued the company for using and selling its MagSafe and iPod Dock Connector power adapters with their external battery packs. Things got interesting when, as part of a deal to avoid a drawn-out legal battle with Apple, the company decided to rebrand to HyperJuice instead and stop selling the battery packs entirely in November. 

Today, Sanho Corporation (parent company of HyperMac) CEO Daniel Chin announced that HyperMac is back, selling their external battery packs again, and offering two new ways for buyers to connect their battery packs to their MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air. 

First, each HyperMac battery will include an airline/auto adapter for charging. The adapter will plug directly into Apple’s own airline MagSafe adapter, which users will have to buy directly from Apple if they want to use this method. The second option is to purchase a HyperMac battery with a DIY kit that allows you to transform an Apple power adapter into one that can be used to connect the battery to your Mac. Both versions, along with HyperMac’s range of external battery packs, are available for purchase now at HyperMac’s Web site.
