Mice and Pointing Devices

[Rostamiani]

Hi

I own a M515 mouse

I tested it with one battery instead of two and it worked !

Can I use it with just one battery ? Does this may harm my mouse ?

Thanks

Interesting discovery.

Are the batteries serial or parallel?

In other words, is it 3 volts or 1.5 volts?

It isn't an infallible guide, but if the batteries sit with their "pointy" ends in the same direction, it is probably parallel (1.5v).

My mouse seems to be parallel. It has a label on the bottom that says 1.5v. You aren't likely to damage it with one battery, but what's the point? It will run out more quickly. And the weight saving isn't much.

A lot of models from logitech support one battery opration ,but I didn't see this for M515 !

It seems that the batteries are paralel ! 

My mouse is a little heavy with two batteries !

Whitch model do you have ? Did you test it with just one battery ?

Yes, tried my Connect Mouse with one battery. Works fine.

It says it is 1.5V.

How can I find out if one battery couse damage to my mouse or not ?

Hello Rostamiani,

Using your M515 with one battery will not harm your mouse but as MichaelKenward posted, the battery life will be noticeably shorter.

Best Regards,
