After not even one week of constant use, my Travel mouse's battery is low already. Wow!

Wow! I bought my bt mouse and keyboard used off a member here on aximsite. The original batteries were in both the mouse and keyboard. I bought everything like last spring and just changed the battery in the mouse. I never changed the keyboard battery though.

I've changed the battery in the keyboard once in the 3-4 months that i've owned it. (Used on weekdays averageing 1-2 hours a day)
Mouse battery i've changed 2 times and I use it the same amount (1-2 hours day)

Haven't really timed it, but my mouse battery didn't last very long. I bought a bunch of rechargable batteries and now i'm a happy camper. I tend to carry spares and rotate them through the charger.

I want to buy some rechargable AAA's as well but I'm worried about the "memory" issue. I know Lithium Ion batteries do not have a memory issue but if I were to charge a Ni-MH, does it have to be drained before I charge it or can I charge it at maybe.. 70-80%?

And yes, those were batteries that came with the mouse so it could be old. I didnt expect it to be old enough to pull such a weak battery life though. I mean, come on, one week and already on low?!

Batteries seem to last forever, not quite.

Last lost was the BT mouse battery while in NYC. Easy enough, just bought a new BT mouse w/ battery.

Darn, shouldn't have thrown the mouse on the bathroom tile floor!

Might still be workin'!
