I really think the OP just wants to not have to keep changing batteries
and for that the solution is rechargeables. Yes, the OP said:

I suspect that he/she simply means that getting some NiMH batteries and a
battery charger isn't desirable because it still involves the
inconvenience of the batteries running down and needing to be changed and
charged. A mouse with a charging stand solves that problem. The NiMH
batteries will far outlast the alkalines and the OP will do a lot less
buying batteries and throwing them away.
