I have in my home a Microsoft wireless keyboard which uses 3 AA
batteries. It transmits to a nearby receiver which is connected to a USB
port on the computer. When the keyboard was new, the batteries would
last for 7 or 8 months. For some strange reason, I'm now changing them
monthly.

Recently, I was away for a week and the system was completely shut down.
When I returned and booted up, the keyboard was lifeless. I tested the
batteries, and they tested completely and totally drained on my meter.
