Magic Mouse battery always shows 100%

Since upgrading to Mac 10.6.7, The preference window for the magic mouse always shows 100%.
After installing MagicPrefs free drivers, (because Apples' sensitivity settings suck), MagicPrefs show
a more accurate level of 84%. What gives here Apple? Are you letting the competition beat you at
your own game? I'm getting disgusted with Apple's lack of support, fixes and updates to reported problems.

From my troubleshooting, it seems it's specific to the individual mouse.
I have two Magic Mice on my desk, one for a MB Pro and one for an iMac. The "trouble" Magic Mouse, which always shows "100%" AND frequently disconnects, did so in 10.6 and 10.7. on my MB Pro.
I thought maybe the Bluetooth module on my MB Pro was bunk--so I swapped mice and took the "stable" Magic Mouse on the iMac and paired it with my MB Pro--no problems. The "trouble" Magic Mouse, formerly on the MB Pro, now on the iMac--exhibits the exact same problems--it seems to be the specific mouse, not the OS or Bluetooth modules on either host computer. Hope this helps. I guess I'll be making a trip to the Apple Store to see if they can fix/replace my "trouble" Magic Mouse...

Magic mouse battery level never 100%

my freinds bought me the rechargable batteries from the apple store a few months back (like nov 2011) and i fully charge the battery put it into the mouse or keyboard but a full charge is 81%? is this normal?
i downloaded istatpro as i read mention of it in a few threads but that one too says 81%...do i have bad batteries? or is it just the mac not being able to read the battery correctly.
running 27 inch iMac with lion

Actually there may be something wrong, either with the charger or the batteries. I went through the above reasoning when I first started using the recharables but was correctly pointed out on these forums the percentage is based on power, not voltage.
When I charge my Sanyo Eneloop NiMH (of course 1.2v) I do see 100% charge in the display. Some batteries have a high initial dropoff so maybe yours were 100% but dropped off to 81% by the time you read them (unless it was only a few minutes after you put them in in which case my initial statement stands). Continume monitoring. I suspect you will see the drop off at a much slower rate.
Of course "drop off rate" is a relative term. I use my MM heavily so it only takes me an average of 9 days to get the value below 15%.

Magic mouse battery level always 100% running Yosemite

Hi All i have had this problem since 1 year, also after updating to Yosemite the bug still exists, the battery of the magic mouse is always at 100% until it runs out of juice and it asks to replace battery.
Apple pls fix it or provide a terminal solution
thank you

1. Rechargeable batteries are different: the voltage stays practically the same untill the end of the charge, then they steeply fall to "empty".
2. You may have a not too healthy battery (happens sometimes). When the magic mouse or the cordless keyboard do not work well, changing the battery for a new one often solves the problem, even if the battery inside is "full".

Magic Mouse Battery Level - System Preferences

I put this question up awhile ago but got zero responses...
13" MacBook Pro (mid 2010) with OS X v10.8.3
The Magic Mouse Battery level shows a constant 100% level in System Preferences and then it will suddenly give me the message that Mouse batteries are low. I will then check System Preferences and it will show, what I assume is, the correct battery level of 5%.
Has anyone seen this issue with Mountain Lion? I never had the problem with Snow Leopard. Also, I've tried resetting SMC and PRAM but no change. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Barry,
Thank you for the reply. I was thinking that I was the only one having the problem since I couldn't find any discussions on it. Perhaps though, I may have not searched the database enough to find anything.
I can't remember having the problem with Snow Leopard; only since I've been using Mountain Lion. I will definitely check out the Might Monitor widget which sounds good!
Do you know where I can get to an Apple page to report this bug? It's not a massive problem but I think it would be fair to report it to Apple anyways.
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to your reply regarding reporting the problem!

My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.

Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries.

My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery

My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery and suddenly it gets off post complete discharge.

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Lenovo K 900 --Battery charge indicator always shows 100 %

A strange issue after firmware upgrade in lenovo K 900 , When I charged to 100 % , the phone always shows 100 % charge . It is not getting updated and after using for 6-7 hrs the phone gets switched off without any notice . Now I can charge again and this time the battery charge indicator shows correctly . but again the same issue is seen if the phone is charged to 100 % .

Let it die all the way down, to recalibrate the battery, and then fully recharge. See if that helps.

My mac wireless keyboard always shows 100-percent charge when its not

How do I allow my iMac to correctly show the battery level of my Mac wireless keyboard?
It always shows 100-percent, which is wrong most of the time.
It reads and shows my Mac wireless mouse battery level correctly.

It's a bug.

Apple Wireless keyboard/Magic Mouse battery levels differ

I have an iMac 27" that my Wireless keyboard came with and a 15" 2.2ghz i7 Quad and go between using both the keyboard and magic mouse with both of the machines.
However on the iMac the new keyboard shows 40% while the MBP shows 67%
the mouse is the same.
Magic Mouse on iMac is 87% and the MBP 100%
a few weeks ago before i picked up the rechargable battery kit from Apple, i had duracell batteries in the magic mouse and it said 100% for weeks straight which never made sense then randomly said there was 6% left and prompted to replace the batteries.
is this a hardware issue with the MBP bluetooth or just some glitch in software?
the iMac is 27" fresh out of the box 10.6.4 while MBP was updated using the 10.6.7 for MBP update.
thanks,

Hi Frank:
The battery reading anomaly is a known problem (began with OS X 10.6.7) and has been reported to Apple through channels. As an aside, I use the mighty monitor widget which seems to give correct readings.

Magic Mouse battery usage

I've come to the conclusion that the problem wt the magic mouse battery usage is not completely that it uses to much power (scrollng seems to kill it), but that it instead warns you way to early about shutoff. When it does shutoff, by just clicking the mouse, it will come back on. If my battery was truly departed, then how could it come back to life, show 5% power, and then operate for literally hours, before going off again. Off course you have to hear that annoying ping, and then have to click on the message stating that your mouse will soon turn off. I love my magic mouse except for this technical glitch. What I would like to do, is write a script, to remove all battery warnings, and possibly make it so the mouse doesn't turn off, until it is truly at 0% power, but I am not very technically oriented.

Hello Apple Discussions,
I am a brand new Magic Trackapd user (since 13th of August 2010), but I already noticed something strange. My battery power dropped from 100% to 89% for less than 4 days of continuous usage. My trackpad has been delivered with Energizer Alkaline batteries.
Here's my battery life story.
Obviously, days between battery changes depend on use. I started with Alkaline batteries (Duracell) when I got the MT (Magic Trackpad) working. Battery life was about a month on the first set. I use the trackpad exclusively (of my three different devices- Magic Trackpad, Wacom tablet, Logitech S530 wireless mouse+keyboard) now, on my desktop MacPro.
I am now trying the Sanyo brand Eneloop batteries to compare. I didn't even notice the battery warnings until the screen flashed a battery low indicator. I also have been using two Eneloop's in my Logitech keyboard, with I think, excellent results (about three months of constant use, and the charge indicator does gradually falls off in that time until blinking a warning).
When I first inserted the rechargeable batteries their charge level said 83%. So I don't know if the life expectancy of the rechargeables will be close to that of alkaline (which said 98% when first started). Certainly it's more economical to use rechargeables. I use the mouse a lot. I see in this thread that results vary from a week or two to months.
Questions:
Does turning off the Trackpad make a big difference compared with leaving it set unused?
Does a rechargeable give way lower life than an alkaline?
What is the comparable battery life between the types of power sources- Alkaline, Eneloop, NIMH, Lithium?
Is there an app for archiving battery life information on the MT? There is one for the laptop and there is history in Profiler, so it seems there could be a way to get the data. Has anyone done it?
Is the low battery indicator (1.0V??) a false indication?

Magic Mouse battery drain since updating to 10.9.5

Since updating my iMac to 10.9.5 my Magic Mouse battery life has gone from over a month of use to less than a day. It's so bad I switched back to a USB based Mouse. Has anyone else experienced a rapid battery drain of their Magic Mouse since updating their iMac?
Ian

Hello Ian, I know it sounds simplistic but you will have to check the battery situation. Here are a few notes I recently made. It is true that Mavericks needx more memory support but probably it's not much more of a drain on the mouse batteries.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor. I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this. Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation. The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available. Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced. Note. Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day. Note. Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device. You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

My PSAPTEMP tablespace always show 100% Full or Used

Dear All ,
Using brtools my tablespace PSAPTEMP always show 100% full or Used, I extend 2 Gb size in PSAPTEMP tablespace but still no solution
Please guide me why it always shows 100% used and what is the performance impact on that
Regards
Shahid

Hello Shahid,
> Please guide me why it always shows 100% used and what is the performance impact on that
This is a normal behaviour in case of a temporary tablespace.
If you do sorts, hash-joins, etc. which can not be done in memory-only you allocate extents in the temporary tablespace. If you finish your query, that temporary extents will be marked as free but they still kept allocated. So over the uptime of your database your temporary tablespace will be filled by allocated (but marked as free) extents .. and so you will see it as "full". You can also check the current "real" usage of your temporary tablespace by the view V$TEMPSEG_USAGE:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2164.htm#i1421319
The temporary extents will be deallocated by a database shutdown or by a database start, if the database crashed before.
If you don't get any ORA-01652 by your query .. everything is fine.
Regards
Stefan

Bluetooth magic mouse battery

My magic mouse battery hasn't lasted long, are you supposed to switch off the mouse underneath when not in use?

Hi s:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I never shut my BT devices off unless I am going to be away for an extended time. Apple BT devices go into a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use.
As a thought, you might want to consider using rechargeable batteries. I have a drawer full of Duracell 2650 mAh batteries and a 15 minute Duracell charger. I got both new on E-bay at a very reasonable price. Rechargeables do not last as long as Lithium batteries (lower voltage, I think) but they are environmentally friendly and you are only 15 minutes from fresh power.

Magic mouse battery level

My magic mouse battery level indicator doesn't seem to update. I view it under the BlueTooth menu, and can't seem to force it to reset.

It's definiately a somewhat expensive convenience. I think the battery door on the Magic Mouse isn't designed very well, and makes changing / swapping rechargeable batteries more difficult than it should be. I've replaced the Mobee battery pack once after over 2 years of daily usage & weekly recharging. I'm sure there are less expensive options, possible even as convenient, but I received this as a gift, and I like it with the exception of not knowing when it's in need of recharge in order to get through my next session without having to fall back to a usb mouse. For what it's worth, that's my experience.
Thanks again for the suggestion!

Magic Mouse battery only lasts 30 days?

I bought my new 21" iMac back in October and today got a message from Magic Mouse that batteries need to be replaced.
What kind of battery life other folks are getting from MM? Is there anything can be done to increase battery life of MM?

Hi Kenichi Watanabe:
Would seem some Apple reference reported the Magic Mouse batteries should last four months. I've only found items that report the reference (have not located the reference itself). Clips below are cross posted, but if you search the Internet for the terms ["Magic Mouse" four months] (without the brackets), you'll find a whole series of early reviews and comments containing the same reference to four month battery life.
Perhaps inquire directly of Apple Care. Gizmodo's review (http://gizmodo.com/5386202/apple-magic-mouse-review ) relays a claim about the Magic Mouse battery life saying, "it's powered by two AA batteries, which get up to four months of use per charge, according to Apple."
Engadget's preview (link follows) included the same reference, the related headline read, "Apple's Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life."
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/apples-magic-mouse-multitouch-gestures-blueto oth-four-month/
Finding support for Gizmodo's reference ("according to Apple") and Engadget's headline may be a little more difficult. Perhaps I haven't read the press release carefully enough. Clip below, from that Apple press release:
"Apple Introduces Magic Mouse," press release, 20 Oct 2009, Apple.com (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/10/20magicmouse.html : accessed 24 Nov 2009), in part, "Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth wireless capabilities to create a clean, cable-free desk top and its secure wireless connection works from up to 10 meters away. To extend battery performance, Magic Mouse includes an advanced power management system that works with Mac OS® X to automatically switch to low power modes during periods of inactivity. The wireless Magic Mouse is powered by two AA batteries which are included."
Hope this helps
