Only once or twice did I have a problem.. I didn't insert the battery all the way into the charger.. ... I could have switched to an old optical we had lying around, but I opted to turn "mouse keys" in Windows.

NiCd can get a short cycle memory if you always recharge it before it drains. yuppicide wrote: > Only 600mah per battery.

It's Lithium Ion. It shows you when it needs charging. Green = good, flashing red = time to recharge.
