How To Charge Your Mac's Magic Mouse
How Do You Change a Battery in an Apple Mouse?
Assuming you’re referring to the Magic Mouse 2:
The first thing you’ll need to do is turn your mouse over so that you can see the underside. There are two small screws on the bottom of the mouse that need to be removed in order to get to the battery compartment.
Once those screws are removed, the back plate will come off and you’ll be able to see the batteries.
There are two CR2032 lithium coin batteries inside of the mouse. To remove them, simply use your fingers or a small flathead screwdriver/knife to gently pry them out of their compartments.
Be careful not to touch any of the other components inside of the mouse while doing this.
Once you have both batteries out, insert new ones making sure that they go into their compartments in the correct orientation (the + side should be facing up). Close up the battery compartment and screw it back together, then give your mouse a test!
How Do I Take the Back off My Apple Mouse?
Assuming you’re referring to the Magic Mouse 2:
To take the back off your Apple mouse, first locate the small button on the underside of the mouse. This button is used to release the battery cover.
Once you have located the button, press and hold it down while simultaneously lifting up on the battery cover. The cover should come off easily. If it does not, make sure you are pressing and holding the button correctly.
Once the battery cover is off, you will see two AA batteries inside. To remove these batteries, simply lift them out of their compartment. Be sure to dispose of them properly when you are finished; do not put them back in your mouse!
How Do I Open My Mouse to Change Batteries?
If your mouse uses AA or AAA batteries, you can simply unscrew the back panel and insert new batteries. If you have a wireless mouse with a removable battery cover, gently pry off the cover with a small screwdriver or butter knife. You may need to wiggle the cover back and forth before it pops off.
Once the cover is removed, replace the batteries and snap the cover back into place.
For some mice, especially those with built-in batteries, you’ll need to use a special tool (often included) to open the case. Once you’ve located the release button or switch, give it a firm press and pull off the top half of the mouse casing.
Again, replace the batteries and snap everything back into place before using your mouse again.
How Do I Charge My Mac Mouse Battery?

Once it’s fully charged, the LED will turn green. It’s that simple!
