Got a "sub-standard" wireless mouse (A4 Tech, or something like that) and the batteries usually last three months or more!

If so, that was the model I took back as couldn`t get mouse to work after set up. Lost some faith in Packard Bell so went for a Logitech. Pity, as Packard came with rechargeable batteries and appropriate charger.

My Microsoft intellmouse explorer lasts about 6 weeks on duracell m3`s, and is on 24/7. I found 1800 rechargables to last about the same length of time.

Same her I have got a £10 Trust mouse I bought in the summer and it is still going with the original batteries - normal alkalines :)

Ooooh, 3 months sound good to me. But I think my problem is, I don`t charge long enough, as i`m using it all day every day... no time to charge, so when I have lunch, gets a blitz then! I have 1600 rechargable batteries in. Dunno how long suppose to charge them for... 10 hours I charged first time.
My keyboard batteries are still going strong. :D
