Question 1: Do I have to use lithium batteries in the mouse? Do I have to use alkaline batteries in the keyboard? Can I use rechargeable batteries instead?
Answer: Rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) AA batteries can be used in the Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard, as can non-rechargeable lithium and non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. How long the batteries last in the keyboard or mouse will depend on how much you use the keyboard and mouse and how old the batteries are. Do not mix battery types.
