where did rechargeable batteries go from apple's site?

So i got a gift certificate for apple store of 25 dollars. There is S!#t you can buy with that, so I want batteries. Thee are no batteroies now on the apple site. You see the page, but when you click "buy" it takes you to another page that show squat.

How do i buy rechargeable batteries directly from apple? The only thin 25 dollars buy is cables, which I don't need, nor would i ever buy directly from money grubbing apple.

Anyone want to send me $20 for a 25 gift card that you can't use?

Apple is no longer selling batteries on their website. You can find batteries via Google or Amazon

They have this rechargable pocket charger. It is $24.95 usd. http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HHY92ZM/A/techlink-recharge-2600-pocket-power- usb-charger-battery-pack?fnode=25080ba1c0aefebfed434d7ac3f0b069fa069167d45d04af8 079366b2971887fb146a54b5d3d824745c289c5bc653130af41a0438cb5ca1960009a6b74b48f07d 0f9f0c4c9f30ec66fb0fadd8f042e16e00faf5daa74170876fcc989c81b31ef

This is simply a charger, not a battery. It can charge a good battery, but it cannot replace a battery.

I know. It was just a suggestion for something under $25 other than cables, since the OP doesn't need them. Thanks for pointing it out though.

I think you are able to buy a $25 iTunes gift card, which you can then use to buy apps / music etc.

I guess I could do that, but why on earth would they stop selling rechargeable batteries? I bought a mobee battery pack for the magic mouse a few months ago, so i figured I'd do that. Then for them to list rechargeable batteries, but send you to another page is just stupid. Come on Apple, take them off your site, or at least add a message saying it is no longer available.

Also having like 5 things on one page and not just listing all items to endless scroll is annoying.

They stopped selling the batteries because the new keyboard and mouse don't have them. They now recharge via a lightning cable.

FYI - I find 2 alkaline in my Keyboard lasts at least six months.

and it's not like they ever made batteries so if you find out who made the ones they sold, and get those it will be the same

From previous threads on here I think these are the same as the batteries that Apple used to sell (albeit in a different skin):

http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Eneloop-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B0 0KQ2NA68/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1451124610&sr=1-1&keywords=sanyo+e neloop+battery

I bought some a few years ago and use them with my Apple battery charger, no problems - still going strong.
