Some mice have chargers that you can dock it on. Otherwise, wireless mice do usually go through batteries fairly quick. You can take them out if you want to when not using it. I used to have a dock for mine that charged the batteries, but now I bought AA rechargable batteries and a charger for my new mouse. Sorry it doesn't really offer much help... -- PC509 Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com |

Then it's probably defective - send it back or return it for
repair/replacement. Mine last well over six months when in use eight hours a day. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

I have a Logitech MX700 that sucks down the alkalines, but the rechargables last a bit longer. Of course, throw in some dollar store batteries, and I'm looking at a day or two max. Normally, I'm getting a week and a half to two weeks average on quality batteries. I'm probably going to a newer Logitech wired mouse. -- PC509 Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com |

My Microsoft mouse used to tell me everyday that the batteries were bad, when actually it was a weak signal. I moved the dongle to a new location and now I have been using the same batteries for 3 or 4 months. -- Dave T.
