Battery life
When I received my new iMac I was taken by all the new stuff I needed to learn about the OS system. Being an old PC's fellow who found Win 8 to be sickening with all the related touch screen movements, I went for a replacement.
As the weeks and now months have passed I have started to discover that some of the things I took at face value are starting to give cause for making changes. I now find my magic mouse looks and functions fine, that is except for the battery in it. New batteries are very unpredictable as to their longevity. Only having the juice powering my magic mouse for two weeks then it needs a new battery sucks.
So last night I rolled out my old set of rechargeable batteries and the charger. All of which came with an old digital device I no longer use. Crammed in 4 cells and this morning inserted a couple of cells in the dead mouse and boom things are charged up. That will be my answer to the magic mouse and it's short life charge.
The Mobee Magic Charger is not something I could go for. My puter is turned off each night and that device needs the live USB power. So for now I am gong to watch the charge in my mouse, when it starts fading, just pop in a few cells in the charger and the mouse is good.
One more thing....... I have a logitech wireless mouse it's battery has lasted for over a year now on my PC's. Yes I know I could buy one for my iMac, but I am captured by the beauty of that little white bitch that eats up batteries like a hungry animal.
