This seemed odd to me. My spouse and I operate our internet business from home. We both have a wireless mouse we use with our laptops.
My mouse is a Microsoft mouse that takes two AA batteries. It is very good on batteries, lasting about a year. This is very good, considering I use the mouse about 10 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week. My batteries are about one month old, and they are duracell.
My spouse has an IBM mouse, and he goes through AA batteries like crazy, in spite of the fact that he uses the mouse much less than I do. His batteries were about two weeks old, from a different pack, purchased from a different store, in a different state.
Yesterday, suddenly, at the exact same moment, both mice suddenly died. I am not talking within minutes of each other, I am talking the exact same second. Now, I found that so odd, that I tried both sets of batteries in remote controls for the TV and VCR and sure enough, they were both so dead there was no power at all. While this could be coincidence, I find it highly unlikely, knowing the performance track record of both mice and their battery drain.
What could have caused this suddenly loss of power in both these sets of batteries, at the same time? As a note, there were no electrical problems at this time. The radio, television, and lights were still working. Perhaps some sort of force that affected the batteries but not electricity?
Thanks for your help in solving this mystery.
