Hi PC Works Group, The mention of rechargeable batteries brought to mind a little problem I ran into several years ago. I had a TRS Model 100 portable 32k computer and I tried to use Rechargeable batteries and they went dead much to fast. I learned that Rechargeable batteries are only 1 .25 volts instead of the normal 1 .50 volts. I had to jerry -rig extra space in the Model 100 to put 5 batteries instead of the normal 4 because it needed 6 volts to operate properly.... 4 x 1.50=6 volts , 5x 1.25=6.25 volts. I had great success using the portable in my Taxi after my fix. Hope this sheds some light, Rocky de Dragon ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 4:33 AM Subject: Re: PCWorks: Logitech cordless mouse
That's about what it did with me. BTW, I use the optical cordless now, and the first set were dead in TWO DAYS!! But, 2nd set is still going ok after 3 weeks. First may have been already low (I use rechargeable batteries, and also have a charger that can recharge any ALKALINE battery, that's a big help). So, if you recharge them, it's no big deal. I also get some "herky jerky"....."stuttering" type cursor movements with this new unit and the older one as well. That happen to you? -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 10:38 PM Subject: PCWorks: Logitech cordless mouse I have a Logitech cordless mouse and I've found it really sucks up the 2 AAA batteries. I've used 2 sets now and the mouse is only 4 weeks old. It's the older type not the optical. Does anyone else have this mouse and what are your battery usage experiences like?
