...possible problems? I bought myself some Energizer rechargeable battiers today thinking that they'd be perfect for the mouse, which keeps draining batteries (the drain of the batteries is normal, but this will just save me having to buy anymore).
However, the AAA batteries didn't work.. When I put them in, there was nothing. I plugged them into the charger, and the light was green, indicating a full charge, and I also tried them in my remote control and they worked.
Why wouldn't they work in my bluetooth mouse? Has it got something to do with rechargeable batteries being 1.2V, where as normal alkaline is 1.5V?
The rechargeable ones I bought are NiMh, 900mAh, if it makes any difference knowing...

Thanks
Luke
