I guess that would depend on how the device measures it. With all my mice/kbds, I only see High, Normal and Low. > today mouse suddenly stop function > > i really don't know how long battery has been used, perhaps a few years How long they last depends on many factors, like the real date of manufacture, temperature of storage/use, and how much use you've made of them. An ordinary mouse should give you not much less than the shelf life. BTW when you take multiple cells out of a device, it's always worth checking each one individually. They don't necessarily contain the same charge: usually one goes flat before the others. I use an old single-cell toothbrush for testing: the speed tells you the charge that's left. When they merely hum, they're flat. Battery testers usually don't provide enough load for a realistic test. > i replace 2 AA cells anyway, it works now With new or used? I run mice/keyboards/remotes etc on partially used cells, after use in higher-powered devices. Cheers, David.
