Hi Ronni, I was surprised when this happen to me just a few days ago. I got the eventual “low battery” warning for my Apple batteries in my mouse. So I swapped them for the pair in my Apple charger.
The next day I happened to check something re the mouse in SP. And I noticed that the battery charge was 45%. I only put them in the day before. However my battery set is about 3 years old. > On 14 Mar 2015, at 3:57 pm, Ronda Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Severin, > > <https://www.apple.com/au/battery-charger/ > <https://www.apple.com/au/battery-charger/>> > For $45 - Free Shipping > "Each Apple Battery Charger comes with six high-performance AA NiMH batteries > — two for your keyboard, two for your mouse or trackpad, and two for > charging.
