Q: magic mouse battery drainage overnight

I put in fresh batteries last night which showed a full charge.

 

This morning I am at 6% and nothing was on during the night.

    Please tell us what you put the batteries into, a phone, a mouse, a torch?   You are in the Magic mouse forum but there is no way a mouse will eat up 94% of a full charge when not working.

    Title of the question = " magic mouse battery drainage overnight "

     

    Is it possible for the Magic Mouse's LorR button press to get "stuck" (spill, dirt, gunk) in the down position? (thus using up power always)

     

    What happens to the laser when mouse is at rest? Sleep? (I still have[unused now] a clear(ish) USB mouse where one could see the 'red light' going on and off)

    Greetings ÇÇÇ

     

    It's a long shot that gunk will stick it down in this situation.   Indeed, the last time I suggested to someone that gunk may have contributed to their problem, I had a blast of discourteous comment.   Until the OP comes back and tells us exactly what is being used and with which device, I guess we are 'stuck'.   It wouldn't be the first time a question has been mis-placed; hence my caution.

     

    Keep well,

    since the 'battery change' is the 'apparent' immediately preceding event, the batteries themselves seem to be the trigger = bad batteries? poorly seated? other?
