They do void the warranty though if you use the batteries in non-Apple products.  |
The industry average apparently is 315 milliwatts, vs 30 milliwatts for the Apple charger.
So, in other words, leaving the charger plugged in for a whole year will cost you only 1.5 cents vs 15 cents.
(1/3 of a Watt power usage means that it would take 3000 hours to use a kWh. Power is currently 5 or 6 cents a kWh here in Alberta. There are 8760 hours in a year)
