Lui, you seem to have been missing the point :) - As Mike describes,
his booster pack has 6, not 4 cells in it. But you made a good pint -
if the cells cal be removed from the pack, they can be charged in
just any old battery charger. Mike, can that be done or is the
plastic wrapping of the sort which would break the unit when you try
to open it?
I have never seen the booster pack, and I don't recall Apple making
one, but there are so many 3rd party companies, making all sorts of
stuff.

Best regards,
Chris
