I bought a cordless mouse that takes 2 AAA batteries. I found that
these wear out after about 2 weeks and want to get rechargable
batteries but the device says "only use Alkaline batteries" - does this
mean that I cannot use rechargable NiCd or NiMH batteries? Will these
batteries blow up my mouse?! :o)

It may be that the voltage from the rechargeable batteries is too low

for thing. Alkaline batteries are 1.5 volts and the rechargeables you
mentioned are 1.2 volts. This voltage difference is a result of the
battery chemistry. Lead acid batteries are 2 volts per cell.

Get the NiMh's and if they don't perform well, use the batteries in
something else. You can never have to many rechargeables
