Hi!

Got a bunch of these tailless furry suckers, and they're starting to eep "Low Battery".

So far, I've gotten about a week out of them, and at the rate it's going, they'll prolly last another.

Just wanted to pass this along to those who have replaced batteries immediately after the low battery warning starts... like I did last time.

I just replaced my batteries after about 3 months. After my low batt light was flashing for a while I finally changed them out with lithium batteries hoping they will last longer. I was surprised how long they lasted.

The low battery flashing thing is annoying though.

I find the battery level very confusing.

About 1 hour after I installed my Apple BT mouse the battery level was down by about 5%, then the next day down by 10%.

Today it is showing up as full!!!

Not very accurate is it?
