Wireless mouse draining battery too fast!
Inspiron 5490 AIO
I purchased DELL inspiron All-in-one desktop in Mar 2020. I got wireless keyboard and mouse with it.
Keyboard is all good and no issues so far, but mouse has a battery issue. It's consuming lot of battery.
I replaced last battery 3 days before and today it's again started showing amber light (low battery).

1] Turn off the devices when not in use
The first and foremost tip to remember is to turn the wireless devices (keyboard and mouse) off when not in use. Doing so improves the battery life of a wireless keyboard to a great extent. You can use the manual turn-off method to switch off your mouse/keyboard when you are done for the day.
If you observe closely, there is a small on/off switch at the bottom of your wireless mouse that you can use to manually turn it off. (UPDATE based on comments: Not all devices may have this switch). Using this button is important because even though your wireless mouse is left idle for a few minutes or hours, it is not switched off completely. They go to sleep when there is no activity noticed but wake up immediately as soon as they are pushed aside or moved around inside your bag or in your hand—and this movement can use a lot of power!
