Changing Magic Mouse Batteries Once A Week

I've been changing batteries for the magic mouse every week. The batteries cost 20 dollars for 2 pairs. Is this normal? I like the mouse but it seems more like a bill to me.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6), 3.06 GHz 1.0TB Serial ATA Drive 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB NVIDA GeForce GT

The mouse battery meter in the iMac does not appear to be linear with eneloops. Mine typically start out at about 80% after a full charge, then rapidly drop to around 50% and then stay at that level for days, before gradually dropping to 30%. In five months of use, I have never had to recharge them in less than three weeks.

On the eneloop charger the LED stops pulsing once they are charged. As soon as I put them in the Magic Mouse they started out as 88%, as of right now they are at 77%.
