[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1146492"] As cwa107 says, the MM has a sleep mode ... but it waits quite some time before going into it, and sleep still uses some power (as opposed to "off"). I keep two sets of rechargeables, and do turn my MM off on the rare occasions I go to bed. :) For me, this means the batteries last about six weeks. The main "culprit" here is me -- I use my computer at least 10-12 hours a day, minimum. I make my living off my computer AND I use it for most of my recreation as well. So that's kind of hard on the batteries. PS. Batteries DO last a lot longer on RF (non-Bluetooth) mice than on BT mice. I don't know the technical reasons why but there's plenty of documentation on that. [/QUOTE]
