battery life of BT mighty mouse

[hobbers99]

does anyone who has got a BT mighty mouse with their new imac know what the average battery lifespan is???

 

[vendettabass]

also interested at £13+ it seems worth it!

Don't know about the iMac but with my MacBook they last about 1 month on rechargeables and about 2-3 months or non-rechargeables (good quality).

Mice eat cheese, not batteries!

not if you want a mousetrap to work they don't. Peanutbutter is the best bait!.

Don't need a mousetrap as I have the furry four-legged kind that purrs.

 

[wazgilbert]

I do, the furry beast brings gifts. and then loses them in the house.

At least I get the brownie points from the missus for eviction!

Our gifts rarely come alive.

My moustrap doesn't puke up furballs on my expensive comforter!! Or lick it's butt and then come 'round to lick my face! My moustrap ALSO isn't afraid of the vacuum cleaner!!

Yep...I sure do love my mousetrap!!

The batteries in my wireless Mightly Mouse have lasted since May... and still going. It is not used heavily daily. Compared to my old Apple wireless mouse this is a very long battery life.

My wireless MM has great battery life. I replace the batteries once a month–I use rechargables.

i had them last from feb. to about... mid august. with average usage and the batteries they came with.

i'm actually using a bt MM on my vista machine too

Yeah, about 3 months from the Lithium ones that come with the mouse. 2 months for Duracell and and about a month for 2500mAh rechargeables. Doesn't sound much compared with good usb mice, but Bluetooth devices can really suck the juice. In my opinion, if you want a Bluetooth for your mac, the Apple one is the best way to go. Longing lasting batteries, smoothest motion and no wake up from sleep delay. Ooh, and if you're short of batteries, the BT mighty mouse can run from just ONE battery. I love mine!

Not to worry. The Mighty Mouse only needs one battery to operate it. The second battery is for more functionality so with 2 batteries the lifespan of the batteries should be a few months.
