I bought the Apple Batterry Charger & I charge the Batteries for well over 6-7 Hours. Until the Indicator Light Shuts Off. When I put the Batteries in my Mouse & Keyboards, it report between 77-81% Charged. Do I have faulty Batteries? Anyone who own this item, please comment.
Hi Dino
What happens, I wonder, if you charge the batteries up to full, remove them and wait for them to cool down (say 30 minutes) then try charging them again? What reading do you get then?
I've have one of those sophisticated 'intelligent' Universal battery chargers that are supposed to be clever enough to work out when you batteries are full and other things about it. All except the battery's actual chemistry, of course.
Playing around trying to work out why some of my batteries would work in my Magic Mouse where others wouldn't I found that if I did a second charge, about half an hour after my Universal Charger said the batteries were full, my batteries would work. Well, at least or a while.
They didn't work after the first charge but they did work after the second charge for about 3 days. Then, mysteriously, they just stopped working. I have since found evidence that the battery connection can be feeble and the failure I experienced after the second charge may have been a coincidence.
If you try to charge your batteries the same way as I did, I would be curious to know if you have a similar experience as myself.
Anyway, I eventually found a better solution for my problems. A post here mentioned, that a poor connection was the real problem. I discovered evidence that this may be correct.
