Duh! It just occurred to me that perhaps an iPAD charger could be used to do "wall socket" charging.
I will give that a try. If it works, then at least I can still turn off the computer at the end of the day and re-charge the mouse overnight in a standard outlet.
UPDATE: Success! And it only took me 4 years to figure that out.
