That is because the parent of HyperMac is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for batterygeek.<br><br>Appearance-wise, they look similar but that is where the similarities end. HyperMac products cost a little more because we use higher (military) grade components and battery cells, which are more reliable than the usual consumer grade products. The IC solution used in HyperMac is also developed only recently in 2009/2010 as opposed to batterygeek's solution which are over 3 years old. Case in point, our HyperMac External MacBook Batteries can detect which MacBook it is currently connected to and automatically adjust its charging voltage. It can automatically switch from 14.5V for MacBook Air to 16.5V for MacBook and 16.5~18.5V for MacBook Pro. This is a patented technology and HyperMac remains the only external battery in the world that can accurately work and provide the right amount of charging power to every single MacBook model, automatically. If you look at batterygeek solution, you have to manually select the charging voltage. Only 2 voltage values (16V and 18V) will work with MacBooks and they are not even the accurate voltages that the MacBooks use.<br><br>While there are great feature/specification differences between HyperMac and batterygeek, we agree that the similarities in appearances can be misleading for some users, as such we will, with immediate effect cease supplying HyperMac-like products to batterygeek.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[HyperMac]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2010 2:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HyperMac debuts kandy-kolored, streamlined, pocket-sized batteries (vroom! vroom!)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/hypermac-debuts-kandy-kolored-streamlined-pocket-sized-batteri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/hypermac-debuts-kandy-kolored-streamlined-pocket-sized-batteri/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was looking at these batteries and it seems that couple things are erroneous in the comments above. The macs can use whatever power is available at the voltage of the unit. They are not looking for a switching power supply adapter. Therefore I don't see the point being made by HyperMac. The MacBook air actually uses a different connector though it is still magnetic. Thus the voltage difference is not a solid point. Now if you have adapters that plug into a standard cabling piece to allow for the different mag-safe connectors and want the different voltages then that is fine and a slide switch to go between the two voltages would not be an issue IMHO. Supplying as much VA of power behind the voltage is the key so the battery would hold the cpu up the longest time. As for ownership of HyperMac by battery mfg. I'm dubious. 95% of these are made in China and since I deal with china companies all the time this seems unlikely. Now there could be purchasing agreements with HyperMac and that does happen all the time but as we see in the news everyday China does not really adhere to agreements, patents or copyright laws for the most part and just want the orders and money to flow to them. Additionally if you go to China you see that there are literally 100s of mfg.s of LI battery packs and they all tend to follow similar design packaging that is why they look similar.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[michbarr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 28th 2010 12:40PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
