Logitech MX700 doesn't last as long as it used to..

[LuDaCriS66]

I've had my Logitech MX Duo for about 6-7 months now. The keyboard's battery life has been fine... actually, I don't recall having changed the batteries yet. The mouse, however, I've noticed that the charge doesn't last as long as it used to.

With the 1700mAh batteries that it came with, it used to last about 2-3 days before I needed to pop it back on the charger. Recently, the charge would only last about a day at most. So I figured, the batteries must be dying so I used regular AA's in the meantime. They lasted longer but not much at about a day and a half.

So I go out and buy 2100mAh rechargeables. These are also only lasting about a day with a full recharge. I haven't been gaming... just the occasional forum posting.

any ideas?

My batteries in my mx700 only last about a day of usage, I dont think its too unusual.

Hook the batteries up to a light bulb. Until bulb goes out. Get it completly discharged then charge them up. Should be warm if they are fully charged. If not your probably not charging them fully.

also, do not keep charging them all the time if you have only used them a little bit . . .
