Is Magic Mouse Battery Level Fixed in Lion?

Just wondering if the Magic Mouxe battery level indicator in the Mouse preference pane is fixed in Lion. I can't remember exactly, but I think it broke in 10.6.7 and wasn't fixed in 10.6.8. I'm now using 10.6.8 and it always reads 100%.


Thanks.

work'in here. It also worked in 10.6.7, but wasn't there long enough to notice perhaps, as the mice seem to have gotton better on batt consumption lately, a lot better. I used to have to change the batts every two weeks or so, no matter what, and now if I don't use them, they don't go flat. do they now have energy saver? 🙂

It never did work for me in 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. I would use my two Magic Mice (one at home and one at work) until they stopped working and they still said 100%. I would then recharge and they would be fine and still read 100%.


At one point, I put a pair of batteries in one of my Magic Mice that my camera said were out of juice. The preference pane in the Mac OS still said 100%.


Obviously, if you found that the Mouse preference pane in 10.6.7 was working, there is something screwy with my system. I'll be using Lion come Friday and hopefully this will be resolved.


Thanks for the reply.
