magic mouse battery life

My magic mouse battery life is very short (have to change the batteries monthly). Is this normal and how can the life be improved?

Good morning Robert,


Strange about the user tip; it works for me. Anyway, try again with this one.

The batteries you are using are certainly of the quality Apple prefer; I would expect them to last 5 to 6 weeks though turning the mouse off would have negligible effect. Assume you bought from a reputable store and were not fakes.

The key to this is rechargeable batteries. With a charger and a set of six you need never be without batteries.


And when you upgrade to El Capitan and above, the magic mouse 2 will charge fully in two and a half hours and last six to eight weeks.

It will also give you a couple of days use with a simple 5 minute charge, either from the mains or the computer.


Wish you well.
