What is the battery life like on this? I hear that it eats batteries but what can I expect to get out of this thing with 1 or two batteries in it?

For me batteries last about 2 weeks (sucks them dry very quickly). This is the type of mouse you really need to turn off after using it, something I always forget to do. I don't think it has a sleep mode, the bluetrack light is always on, even after hours of being idle, this probably contributes to the short battery life. If it wasn't for the battery life, this mouse would be very good. For now, i'm stuck changing the batteries out constantly, give the logitech touch mouse a look!

It's supposed to be 30 hours on 2 AAA batteries. If you leave it on, it will be dead the next day.

Battery life is good; the person who told me about. It, used it non stop for several days and since then infrequently but has not had to change batteries. I gave one to someone the day before yesterday and they used it 2 nights in a row non stop!

I have only one battery, but you do not two unless You are using a lot--this battery will last for a long and is quite fast to be get it off the batter. I don't use what you use, so you may two batteries.

you cant shut it off, but all the times I have used mine, the battery depletes fairly evenly, never had one or more cells totally deplete while the others had a decent charge. I have only used it on 3 cell and 4 cell batteries. works great. are you using a balance charger for your batteries? that's all I can think of why your battery depletes so unusual. if not, get one that will also discharge your batteries properly for long term storage. you cant store them fully charged or drained.

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

The battery life is very good. I was surprised that I can sit at my kitchen table for 3 hours and the battery goes down to about 65%. Now that is very good for this laptop. I think you will enjoy the power that this puts out. Have a great time with it.

My mouse also only has a single eneloop battery. This single battery has never been taken out, or replaced since I bought mine back in early 2012. It has gone up to three days of heavy (*cough*Diablo/WoW/LoL*cough*) usage. It has died on me unexpectedly once, but I was able to just plug it in via the dis-connectable USB cable and didn't miss a beat.

You get 2 batteries with the device. Feel that should hold you for a while. I'm still on my first battery

Hello Debbi, to be honest the batteries suck. They drain very fast despite the description.The plus side is that you can charge multiple batteries if you purchase the charger. I found that one of the two battteries last longer than the other. Hope this helps

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

Wow we've had ours for almost 3 years and have not had any issues besides battery changing from abundance use with 3 little ones. How long have you had yours & are you the only owners? I know the tail & heard can come off & I cannot find our manual but you should be able to Google the manual. Good luck

There is no easy access for the battery, i guess if you are a tech geek you can have a crack at it at your own risk, otherwise you would need a professional to do it.From my personal usage (Internet, Apps & Games) battery life is pretty good as i never ran out of battery, if you are more using it for movies it might drain the battery quicker but i can not comment on this.

The Battery life sucks. every time i look at this camera I want to destroy just because of how bad the battery life is. You take 12 pictures and standard batteries are shot. It didn't start out this terribly, but its progressively gotten this way.

Battery life has been great so far. I've recently switched over NiMh rechargeables for all of my batteries. Haven't had to recharge them for about a month. The mouse has an auto shutoff feature after periods of inactivity.

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!
