Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

Hi There,
Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
+You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?

Hi zulficarr
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.

  • Batteries compatible with Nokia E70

    Hey
    Im looking for batteries compatible with the Nokia E70. The one that comes with the Nokia E70 is dieing and now gives me very low battery life. I want a high capacity one.

    There's only one type of battery recommended for Nokia E70 which is BL-6C. This is the only type you should buy. If you use anything other than the recommended battery, it will be at your own risk.
    Reference to the battery type can be found under "Power Management" of the tech specs:
    http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-e70/technical-specifications
    If your battery was purchased less than 6 months ago and you believe there's an issue with it, you can take the battery and phone to your nearest Nokia Care Center to be checked. Locations of your nearest local repair center can be found under the "Repair & Recycle" link above this page.

  • Scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt  work anymore

    Suddenly scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work any more. Left clicking and cursor moving works normal. I have checked the system preferences for the mouse and find nothing strange or unchecked. Any ideas?

    Also tried the universal access thing. Doesnt work.

  • Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

    Hi
    In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default. 
    How can i change this behaviour?

    I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
    I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
    I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
    If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
    In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

  • HT4288 Hand writing Chinese with Magic Mouse? OR Trackpad only?

    I am using an iMac with Magic mouse and I could not find the Handwriting Chinese function! Do I have to get a trackpad to enable the hadwriting function?
    If yes, Can I have both magic mouse and the trackpad working at the same time?

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect

  • Been using LR since 2004. My raws are all of sudden jumping around in Develop module. Image does not stay, it goes forward and backwards randomly, even with magic mouse off. Can't edit. Using MacPro, currently everything. Canon 5dmk3 raws

    This sounds like a hardware issue. I haven't seen this particular problem reported before.

  • Installed new batteries in my magic mouse. It tracks well but does not click.

    MacBook Pro indicated that the batteries in the magic mouse needed to be replaced. New batteries were installed in the magic mouse. The pointer function works well, but the click function no longer works.

    Hey in Sweden. I believe before you can install a new system on your new hd you will need to format it using Disk Utilities. You should be able to access the Disk Utilities program from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). You should now be able to install to your hearts content.

    Hello,

  • The batteries on my Magic Mouse are lasting one week

    The batteries on my Magic Mouse are lasting one week. Please help.

    How old is the Mouse.  When did you last change the batteries.  Are they rechargeable or regular.
    Here are some notes I have made about batteries.
    Batteries.  Here are a few notes I've put together.    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.  Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
    Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.  I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.  The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.  Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
    Note.  Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.  The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.  Note.  Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones. 
    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.  You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it.  The green light becomes steady.

  • Macbook pro 2012 bluetooth problem with magic mouse

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    It's two days old and Bluetooth has stopped working.. I use bluetooth for my apple magic mouse.
    I know it's the Bluetooth app and not the mouse as I changed the mouse batteries and double checked it with my old iMac.
    The Bluetooth app has become sluggish and unresponsive.
    I have restarted and logged out and in.
    Run permissions.
    Switched Bluetooth off and on.
    Scratched my beard.
    Any ideas or similar problems?

    Not sure which Bluetooth app you are referring to ... 
    Try deleting Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /LIbrary/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the   com.apple.Bluetooth.plist   file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth and try re "pairing" the mouse.

  • Same batteries 92% in Magic Mouse but 10% in Trackpad???

    So now I am scratching my head.
    I was trying to find an answer as to why my battery life is so terrible for my Apple wireless keyboard and the Apple trackpad (for the mac Mini).
    I also have the Magic mouse that I use every now and then. I was using it and saw that the batteries were at 92%. I figured I would test them on the trackpad, only to get a low battery message. What?! Nonsense. Same thing with the other batteries that were in the trackpad minutes ago - 88% in the Magic Mouse.
    So what is going on here? Which file I have to delete?
    Thanks!
    <Edited By Host>

    So I deleted the following and now everything is back to normal:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple related to trackpad, keyboard and mighty mouse
    To do that you have to disconnect those devices.
    Now everything is back to normal.

  • USB Cord that comes with Magic Mouse

    HI,
    I bought a Magic Mouse when they first came out. With it came a USB cord. One end is a normal usb, the other is where a USB would go in it. Except at this end, a normal USB doesnt fit, as it has a bit of metal that is raised up, as though to fit a specific type of USB.
    I was wondering if anyone knows what it is actually for and how it works? I have been looking at things and it discusses that it connects to charging stations, but the charging stations for the magic mouse I have seen, have plugs for the wall.
    It seems odd to get this cord with the mouse, but it not connecting to the mouse?
    Thanks

    I don't see why Apple would send a usb coard with a bluetooth mouse. But I purchased a wired keyboard  a while back that came with a coard that fits your discription. I think they raised a bit of the metal up so you could only use the coard as an extension with an apple mouse or keyboard. The Male USB end on myh keyboard has a grove down the center, alowing it to plug into Apple's extension, while still letting it plug into a normal USB port.
