I may have found a legit need for a .."batteriser"

Kasper:
When the batteries are in the wii remote and it says 50%, what is the battery voltage?

The batteries might have different voltages when they are in different devices. If battery has higher voltage in wii, there might be less current draw in wii.
BrianHG:
Imbalanced batteries can also mess up your expected usage life per charge by a large factor as one battery has extra voltage as your second cell accelerates to it's 'cliff dive' to below 1v at the end of it's capacity.

My wireless mouse draws an extremely low current so that ordinary cheap alkaline batteries last for months but your mouse draws such a high current that you need rechargeable batteries and need to charge them often. Either your mouse is defective or it has a very poor design.

G700 was a top end laser gaming mouse. Battery life sacrificed for maximum performance. On the other hand, your mouse sacrifices performance for maximum battery life.

I smell excuses.
I am thinking it's more like the G700 is a top end gaming device. Hence, it might take too much time and effort to optimize such a short run, niche product for low sleep current.

Designing and coding for low sleep current is device specific. It is one of those things a consumer takes for granted, but it is a total PITA and requires some work with the datasheet. You can't just code it in C with your favorite compiler. There's a big nest of decisions that has to be made, correctly, starting from the start.

Even if the one mouse draws 10x the current while in use, that wouldn't necessarily be noticeable over the life of the batteries. If there's a huge difference you can bet it's the sleep current.
