KDE letting me know that my mouse’s battery is low for the past six months
(Okay I was too lazy to edit the image but all three sections of the battery are colored in red)
AA batteries are typically 1.5V, but some rechargeable ones are only 1.2V. This leads to the product thinking the battery is always low even when it’s fully charged.
If you have a Li-ion rechargeable, you get the opposite problem. The battery is actually around 2.7V, and has a converter internally to step it down to 1.5V. You will keep getting 1.5V until the battery goes flat with no warning.

Are you using a rechargeable battery?

Ooh, that’s a good call, I’ll check. I think it’s just a standard 1.5v though.
