Anyone who understands batteries want to tell me if this will eventually explode or something?

So, at best it'll last half as long. At worst, it'll have intermittent issues from only getting half the current capacity it's designed for.
These are wired parallel, so it's supplying the same voltage as two batteries, but will only last half as long before dying. It wouldn't turn on at half voltage in series.
Still gonna have mild power problems though cause the battery isn't seated well and will possibly short out when you move the mouse.
it's just a mouse so it's probably fine
Will just die faster.
It depends on how the battles are wired.
If the battles are wired in series (think train cars) it increases the voltage of The circuit. Which means if the electronics require the higher voltage this may not work well, if at all.
If the batteries are wired in parallel then this is basically half a fuel tank.
In this case, we can tell it's likely parallel because the springs (negative terminals) are on the same side. When the batteries are in series they're usually placed in the compartment facing alternating directions.
I always assumed this was like a universal truth, but I've found a couple of cases recently where they wired it in series despite the batteries all pointing the same way, I was so confused...
Everybody else is wrong this shit could wipe out a town
Depends on the configuration, but it won't explode. It may just act as if it's on low battery for a while then stop working as if the battery is drained, when the one battery might only be half drained. If it's in parallel it could work but with about half the runtime, but it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation.
it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation
This.
If it's in parallel anyway, it doesn't make a difference, slanting it like that, except maybe, making a worse quality connection, that may disconnect with the cell wiggling.
From understanding my old GameBoy that had 4 AA batteries in alternating rotation, that had 6V (1.5V each battery). Chaining positive and negative together increased the voltage.
Since this has them pointing both up, it's just 1.5V but it's as if you put a half sized battery.
Basically, the same, just less amperage because of a smaller battery (if compared to 2 of the same).
tl;dr: same, but half capacity.
Why would you need to put it in at an angle if the batteries are supposed to be connected in parallel?
What part of Cyberpunk do you not get? Haha
it's like a parallel reality
hope they don't make it a series
I frequently fix things for people by turning things off and on. Day by day, the madness grows.
I mean... You right...
