![]() I pulled out the multimeter and sure enough he was right. So I decided to give his idea a bit more thought. He hypothesizes that the magic mouse requires a 1.5V constant power output and that cheaper batteries can’t handle it. ![]() It’s got 5 pages of people mostly saying ‘I got the same problem’ but one guy sparklelellama suggested it could be the batteries themselves and specifically mentions Duracell batteries and other cheap batteries. ![]() With its first post in 2009 which is weird cause I didn’t find that in my searches earlier in the year. I decided to give it another go today and came across this post on the Apple Discussion Forums. Ok, so it’s disconnecting, what does that mean? I saw these in the logs months ago but googling the error nothing came up. I was able to see my mouse disconnect and reconnect in real-time as it logs with entries like this:ġ1/08/11 8:48:12 AM kernel enteredġ1/08/11 8:50:04 AM kernel entered I opened up the Console app to see if the OS was logging anything about the mouse and sure enough it was. To diagnose the problem I wondered if the OS was logging anything. I would get constant disconnects and I have done research and found one suggesting that the battery contacts were getting bumped so I jammed a piece of paper in there and it appeared that it was doing a better job, for about a week, then back to the old tricks. I’ve raged a lot on my networks about how crap my Apple Magic Mouse battery life has been and how it keeps constantly disconnecting.
