Logitech totally get power management. I've been using their wireless diNovo keyboard for about 18 months now on the same set of 4 AAA batteries and they still register as being fully charged. Their literature states 3 years on a set of batteries. So it makes me wonder, why bother with solar cells when they can squeeze so much life out ordinary batteries.
