[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1142335, member: 59143"] Um, if they're not rechargeable then why [B]wouldn[/B]'t you run them down until they're dead? It's not going to have an effect on the mouse its self, and when they are dead, you throw them away. The question is, why aren't you using rechargeable batteries in this day and age? They save you tons of money and are much better for the environment (if you care). Get yourself an 4 pack of Sanyo Eneloops and a decent charger (NOT the one which they sometimes sell with the Eneloops OR the one from Apple those are quick chargers which lessen the life span of batteries by charging too fast causing excessive heat) from Amazon.com. The Eneloops are the same batteries which Apple uses now (they're re-branded by Apple) and last a long time per charge and in terms of their life span. There's no memory effect with them either, so you can charge them when ever you want. Though every once in a while it's good to cycle them. And a good charger will do that for you. Look at this article: [url=http://www.metaefficient.com/rechargeable-batteries/best-rechargeable-batteries-battery-chargers.html]The Best Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers Of 2010 >> MetaEfficient Reviews[/url] I happen to own that first charger you see, the LaCrosse.
