I just got an apple bluetooth mouse and after one day's usage it's run out of batteries. How the hell do you get 3 months with this thing?

Most people with the same issue said they just replaced the batteries that came with the mouse. The batteries that came with mine were not fully charged, as the ones were that came with my keyboard. Just put in some fresh batteries.

I have been using my bluetooth mouse and keyboard for over a week now and the battery inidicator is still about 90% full and the keyboard is about 85%.

Okay,

Now my two day old BT Mouse is doing the same thing. I have a low battery warning and the Bluetooth icon on the toolbar is flashing a battery icon. I too will go out and buy some new batteries and see if that helps.
