For anyone who owns a Logitech LX-700 mouse, how long do the rechargeable batteries last before you get a low battery warning?

I bought one for a relative and they are getting a low battery warning after 5-6 hours of use. I use an MX-1000 and it goes for days before it gets even half discharged.
 
I tried to reply to you yesterday, but my Firefox was being stupid. Anyway, here ya go:

I've had my MX-700 since about the time they came out, give or take a few months, and to this day, I still get at least a day's worth of use out of it. I get up at 8:00 or so and take the mouse off the charger, and from there it generally lasts until I'm ready to go to bed (midnight or later), at which time it goes back on the charger. I've had a few days where it crapped out on me early, but half an hour on the charger usually fixes it. I would say unless your relative is using it heavily for the 5-6 hours they're using it, it should be doing better.
 
My MX700 can go for a few days, perhaps close to a week, without giving me a warning. Now, I don't use my mouse particularly heavily, but easily 2-3 hours a day. So I suspect you might want to get different batteries in your mouse.
 
My original MX700 used to last anything up to 10 days without needing recharging, after upgrading my motherboard however I now get about 48 hours maximum out of it. I even had it replaced but it didn't change, Logitech said it's something to do with the suspend settings in my BIOS but refused to give me any details on what setting works best for the mouse.
Dano.
