Selecting the mouse battery over the desktop battery is by design iff the mouse is reporting it will run empty sooner than the laptop. From the spec:
> "The menu title should tell you at a glance what you need to know most: what device will lose power soonest (and optionally when), or otherwise which device will take longest to charge, optionally how long it will take, and optionally its current charge level. More detailed information can be accessed inside the menu itself. "
