Today we're tracking a collection of discounts on Apple's charging accessories, including the MagSafe Charger, MagSafe Duo Charger, and MagSafe Battery Pack. All of these deals can be found on Amazon.

Starting with the MagSafe Charger, Amazon has this device for $34.00, down from $39.00. Compared to previous discounts this is about $7 higher than the all-time low price, but it's one of the first times in 2022 that we've seen the accessory be discounted at all, so if you've been waiting for a deal of any kind now's the time to snag the MagSafe Charger.
Next, you can get the MagSafe Battery Pack for $86.99, down from $99.00. While this is a second-best price, we haven't seen record low deals on this accessory since the 2021 holiday season, so anyone looking to buy one right now should look at Amazon's deal.
The MagSafe Duo Charger is also on sale on Amazon this week, available for $114.97, down from $129.00. This is another second-best price for an accessory that hasn't seen all-time low discounts for a few months now, and only Amazon has any sort of notable markdown.

I'm a fan of the duo charger. Great travel companions, we have 4 for when the family goes out of town. I do have thoughts of upgrading my S4 watch this year to either the 7 or 8 depending on the looks so I would like to be able to have a fast charger for the watch. Not sure this will do it, so I'll wait for a new one.
I also love Apple's MagSafe Duo Charger, but it really needs to be updated with Apple Watch fast charging and redesigned to better accommodate iPhone 13's larger camera bump. While at it, replace Lightning with USB-C.
I’d like to buy the Duo charger, but at $115 its still too much. I’m considering the MagSafe charger for my phone, but my qi charger is good enough, so I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet.
