Vista - Microsoft Keyboard 7000

I just replaced my old microsoft keyboard with a new Microsoft wireless laser
7000.

My question is when I am charging the "NIMH" battery. In struction says
to charge the new NIMH battery for one hour before taking the next setup
step. It also says, it takes seven hours for a complete charged.

I did charge the NIMH battery for one hour. After 20 minutes later, I
lost my battery power on my mouse. So I recharged it again.

After a few minutes of charging, there is a red blinking light. I
presume that the charging is complete. So far my mouse is working fine.

How do I get a seven hour charging when the red blinking light comes on
a few minutes after charging?

Read the manual so you understand what the various light displays mean.

I have a 8000 version. My experience is as follows. A red blinking light on
the mouse either means that the mouse is not seated on the charging station
quite right or the battery has drained so far that the trickle charge
provided by the charging station does not have enough power to charge the
battery. Jiggling the mouse while on the charging station can fix the first
problem. Charging the batteries in a third party's charger solves the second
problem. Then make sure you fully charge the mouse on the charging station
on a regular basis.

A steady green light means the batteries are fully charged.
