Wireless mouse batteries needs to be recharged every 4 hours

Welcome to FixYa!

Here's a quick checklist to resolve your wireless mouse connection.

Solution 1.
1. If the underside of the mouse has an on/off switch, make sure to set the switch to the "On" position.
2. Make sure that the battery of the wireless mouse is placed correctly and is not drained.
3. After checking the first two steps, the optical lens on the underside of your wireless mouse should be flashing once in a while. If not, there is something wrong with the battery, the wireless mouse switch, or the wireless mouse itself is defective.
4. Connect the USB dongle in the USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 2.
5. Connect the USB dongle in another USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 3.
6. Restart the computer with the wireless mouse turned on and the USB dongle inserted in the computer.

Solution 4.
7. Download and install the drivers from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-47909-1

On the Top on the Mouse u can see the Battery u need to Remove the old Battery's and Replace with New battery see that you use Rechargeable battery because ordinary battery life spam is very less and u need to change the batterys for every 1 month so if u use the rechargeable battery then u need not change battery for 1 month at least for 5 or 6 months the rechargeable battery work and u can keep and spare rechargeable battery when every needed and try to purchase a Sony Rechargeable batterys

I use rechargeable batteries rated at 3200MAh and have been operating for 2 months now.

If you can't get hold of them, try fresh Alkaline batteries like Duracell.

pls. vote for better service... thank you

Rechargeable batteries do expire after a while either get new ones or get a battery tester to see how much life they have left. under normal circumstances a new set of batteries last me about two weeks before i have to recharge them and my computer stays on 24/7 including the mouse with at least 5 or more hours of use per day.

Hello Pabobr, hi, I wish this may help, I want to ask you a question, during that 4 hour use, does your mouse operate normally?
If yes, then thats a design problem, If no, you need to try other battery makes, and see if the changing battery names with solve your problem, if by any chance the problem still persist, try you mouse on another PC, see if the problem is your PC or not, if still you cannot break the 4 hour use, its already a design flow of that wireless mouse, call your dealer if what you have experience is the true just for confirmation. Try also other brands, you choose, still continue to use that mouse, and waste money on batteries or try other makes. Or go back to the traditional wire mouse.

"Normal" batteries are 1.5 Volts per "Cell" However Ni-Cads, rechargeables, each "Cell" is only 1.2 Volts. So the rechargeables simply may not work... If they do work, then there is NO reason why not.

You may want to try with normal batteries instead of the rechargeable ones.

You have not provided the model no of your mouse. Is it connected to PC or laptop?

Are you able to go to the logitec mouse setup in control panel and check if the diagnostic works.

Some wireless mouse devides have a reset button which you sync with the base unit that goes to the USB port. If this one has it, then try to resync.

Waiting for your responses so that we can diagnose the problem further.

what happens if you put the mouse on the charger and leave it there for 2-4 hours?

Does it recharge?


I supose you could replace the recharable battery yourself by opening the mouse and so on, but finding the right type of a battery for it might not be as easy as that. Id recommend takeing it to warranty repairs if it still has such.

Other options would be to buy a new mouse.

u need to get the wireless kit replaced

If you slide down (hard) the panel beneath the 2 clicker keys, you will find a battery compartment with space for 2 AAA batteries
