[QUOTE="rcltrh, post: 328690, member: 15752"] Double check how you put in the batteries. One of the bluetooth varities (or maybe both) has the batteries going in the same direction side by side instead of one one way and the other reversed. If you put them in reversed when they are supposed to be parallel then they will discharge each other and get really hot. This also kills the batteries so if you did that use 2 new ones this time and make sure you have them in correctly. Not sure about the minus sign - maybe on and off? If you had the batteries switched to where they were discharging each other, it wouldnt have mattered if the mouse was on or off as they would have still discharged each other. The bluetooth mouse that has the batteries in parallel will work with one battery (but with half the life). [/QUOTE]
