How long does the mouse last before needing to be recharged?
2061138
I don't know what these guys are talking about it only lasting 8 or 12 hours between charges. What are they doing with it? I work on my computer 8 hours a day and have to recharge the battery every few months or so. What am I missing?

roughly 8 hours... though the battery that came with mine died and would not recharge after about a month of use. I now have a Ray-O-Vac rechargable battery in it and its working fine. one thing about this mouse. it works flawlessly at 25' away. I use it on a system hooked up to my T.V. and my couch is 25' away. (not all mice do that) I've had several that work very jerky at that distance.

It eats it quickly because you have to plug the dongle into the mouse before it will turn off. For people with desktops, this might not be the best option, but I haven't replaced the battery in 4 months while using it with my laptop.

The keyboard uses a single AA-Battery, while the mouse uses two AAA-batteries. So far, the mouse has lasted about two to three months (I did not turn off the mouse, I left it in stand-by, which is good). As for the keyboard, I recently had to replace the battery, but I believe it was more on the battery's side that the keyboard didn't last long. I recommend that you use Duracell or Energizer batteries for your keyboard and mouse to play on the safe side.Also, the customer support for VIOTEK is very good. My keyboard broke and they replaced it without me having to pay for a new one, so should a problem arise, they can replace it if you have the proper information.

Anker's description states "700-hour continuous-use battery life and automatic sleep mode allow up to half a year between battery changes (requires 2 AAA batteries, not included)." Keyboards and mice have pretty low power consumption, so that sounds about right.

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

Its not the greatest, but depends on how much you use the mouse. What I did was buy a 4-pack of Rechargeable AA's so that when they go out, just replace the two with fresh one and recharge the depleted ones. In that way, you're always ready with fresh batteries...

I bought this mouse used and it didn't have the batteries, but the mouse seems to work as most wireless devices, so you should get many hours of usage.

No. the charging terminals are located on the mouse. You could charge it up and take it as a spare. My new battery will last for hours on a charge.

I have had mine for several months now with no problems. The batteries are replaceable on both the keyboard and the mouse. With normal use, I would think at least three years.

No issues at this time, however, I have disabled the keyboard lighting. The mouse does not last that long though, perhaps 5-6 days before it requires a charge. The keyboard battery is long lasting. I like this combo, just wish the mouse lasted a tad bit longer. Hope this helpes

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

It uses a "AA" battery, it is not included, it can be rechargeable but will not recharge in mouse as there is no constant electrical connection.Wife loves it btw........

At FULL Charge, mine lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. It takes about an hour for recharging with the USB cable for your computer

Recharging is not an option that Ive found or needed. Ive had my mouse for months and am a heavy computer user. Ive not had any need to replace the batteries.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.
