New battery but still not working?
A fresh 2 × AA should restore Apple Magic Mouse (AA battery model) if the battery was the problem. Work through the checks below before replacing the device.
- Check the battery type
This device needs 2 × AA (alkaline). Same size does not always mean the same battery.
- Check known model-specific issues
Current Lightning/USB-C Magic Mouse models are sealed rechargeable — this record is only for the AA-battery generation
- Confirm the battery itself
If you have a battery tester or multimeter, check the cell. A low open-circuit voltage often means replace; for rechargeable AA/AAA, a capacity test is more informative than voltage alone.
- Still not responding?
If a correct, fresh battery installed properly does not restore the device, the fault may be elsewhere — the device may need service or replacement.
