That "battery life" is specified for when the devices are in use.  Although 
batteries do leak some charge when they are not in use it is pretty-much 
negligable for modern ones (think 10-20 years).

I personally never switch them off when they are on the table.  And yes, I 
get at least the battery life outof them you mentioned.   Than again, I'm 
not using them over prolonged periods (an hour or two each day).

IOW, I don't think that the stand-by current is something you need to worry 
about (both the keyboard and mouse go to sleep after a while of not being 
used, only to be woken up by a keypress)
