I honestly thought I was going to go a bit longer without posting this time, so I'm really sorry for yet another entry in this saga so soon after the last one (here, and then previously here here and here). It's really not my intention to turn this blog into The Daily Bluetooth Mouse Report. But while the title of this particular entry is arguably hyperbole, I just had to report this latest news.
As you may recall, I put fresh NiMH rechargeable batteries into my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse all of 2 days ago. (They're 1500mAh batteries by the way, so they're not the best NiMH ones you can get nowadays. I've had them for a while, but this set worked perfectly well last time I used them in my camera, so as far as I know, they're not defunct.) Today, I got my first warning dialog indicating that the batteries are running low! That's pretty poor compared to the three weeks I got from the alkaline cells supplied with the unit.
What I'm hoping is that this is a false alarm caused by the fact that, as mentioned previously, the nominal output of a NiMH battery is only 1.2V vs the 1.5V initial output of an alkaline cell. So I'm guessing that maybe the mouse is just assuming I'm using alkalines, and is interpretting this 1.2V level as being indicative of a nearly-dead battery.
Unfortunately, I don't see a way of telling it not to give me this early warning, and just to give me the 'critical' warning.
