1-2 day battery life Keyboard wireless!

Since the update to OS X 10.11.4, the battery on the wireless (former model, not the new Magic Keyboard) keyboard has slumped about 3 to 4 weeks for 1-2 days! I use rechargeable batteries from Apple, and the same set of batteries has not affected the Magic Trackpad (also a former model).

And FYI, I use the keyboard for about 8 to 12 hours.

Try the non-rechargeable batteries...

Battery life is based on its use. I don't know what it is that the software update would have done to cause the problem.

  • One month battery life MS Wireless 4000 mouse Mobile

    I bought this mouse a few months ago and use it daily.  I am very happy with the performance, but not with the battery life.

    I have to replace the battery every month, almost to the day.

    The mouse is mainly used with my desktop system, also in my web development work and general use.  I believe my use active 8 hours a day, but my systems are constantly lit.

    I used the new brand name alkaline batteries (Energizer, Duracell) and the last 2 months, the batteries to the Energizer Lithium, with no difference.

    It is impossible for me to turn the mouse over and out all day.

    Packaging claims up to 10 months of battery life - of course, I'm not anywhere near that.

    I have the latest intellipoint drivers and otherwise my Win 7/64 system is up to date.

    You have any ideas why I have this problem, and what I might be able to do about it?

    Thanks in advance: as I said, I love the mouse, but the cost of battery alive to eat me!

    Have you tried to contact MS support it exchanged or replaced? How about the place you bought it? I had a few wireless mouse and all their batteries have lasted more than a month, but only lasted as long as 10 months. I have a MS Natural Wireless Laser 6000 last 6 months, almost to the day. But my Logitech V470 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse batteries last about 4 months and it stopped immediately.
    I think you have a faulty mouse, but I don't know that your merchant nor Microsoft would take my word for it :-)

  • K3500 wireless keyboard: wireless keyboard

    Just bought a keyboard wireless, out of a slit which seemed to be a guardian of the battery, and it works fine. There is nothing in the documentation that shows how to turn off to save battery life, or how to replace the battery. How can I do?

    BTW, I spent an hour on hold and transferred around HP (India, I think) and could not get an answer. HP used to have great customer service.

    bobbellevue

    There is no on/off switch.

    As for the battery, I found this thread which has some answers: http://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/asin/B00FARSAVY

  • Short load cycles affect the battery life?

    Hello world

    2 weeks ago, I bought a car with Apple Carplay. Before, I was charging my iPhone 6 more at night, have it completely recharged when I wake.

    Then, since I plug it to my car to use Carplay everytime I go somewhere, the battery has multiple short consecutive charges along the day. I was wondering if this kind of accusations could affect my battery life in the wrong direction? Does my battery prematurely die compared to 'normal' load cycles every night

    Thanks for your replies.

    No, many short sessions of loading will not harm your battery. At the risk of anthropomorphism, lithium-ion batteries "prefer" kept topped up.

  • Tecra M2, battery life

    Got this lappy a week ago (dothan 1.6, video 512/60/64)
    All right, but I am concerned about the life of the battery of the standard package.

    Once fully charged, it shows a little less then 3 hours of work.

    Then time falls rather quickly. 90% ago 02:24
    Manufacturer and several critics claim that the battery life should be at least 4 hours.

    I reinstalled Toshiba Power Management. Then XP asked to reinstall common Modules.
    However, it did not help much.

    Can I have a broken battery or this longevity is good for this machine?

    My old laptop had a utility of calibration of the configuration of the BIOS battery.
    Is there somewhat similar? It seems that the system reads value battery incorrectly.

    To Check first, Toshiba site and Microsoft for any update of the operating system or drivers that can help.

    About the battery life, I know on older batteries, they worked as how you mentioned.

    They lists only a change of time remaining at certain times of the battery.

    For example, it can declare 100% for 30 minutes, but then drop to 50% all of a sudden.

    But this has happened on NiCad batteries because they lacked a "smart" sensor in the battery to detect small changes.

    The battery you have is a Li-ion, so this problem should not exist.

    Depending on what you were doing at the time and what power management settings you put in, this will also play a role in how fast your battery drains.

    Have the wireless on when you don't have not wireless configuration will drain more quickly the battery.

    Playing a CD / DVD, watching movies & games all drip the battery more quickly.

    Power management settings, if the value of 'Always On', it will cause the CPU to run at full speed, even on battery.

    This is a BIG drain on the battery, while leaving the brightness of the LCD on MAX.

    Check your settings, make sure that it has defined for the laptop and try to get down your glow.

    If these suggestions do not help, it is possible that you have a defective battery, if so you may want to get it replaced.

    Good luck!
