Reputation: | I use a Radtech bluetooth mouse that sucks battery juice. On 2 AAA alkaline batteries, I get maybe a week's worth of use. Switching to rechargeables finds me swapping out and recharging about once every 24 hours. The best brand I've used is Rayovac. Anybody have better results with other brands? |

Reputation: | I used to use Everready with my digital camera, they were always satisfactory and recharging is much more cost effective isn't it.

Reputation: | I second the Rayovacs. They don't last quite as long normal alkaline batteries, but that is more than made up by the fast recharge time (15 mins). |

Reputation: | I wonder if it is the bluetooth. I have a MS wireless mouse that uses IR and batteries will last for months. Perhaps a different mouse would save money in the long run. |
