it depends on the battery
if it is a li ion battery, you can charge it whenever you want.

if you want a good mouse, i would go for the logitech mx1000 laser. the battery lasts more than a week on one full charge. A 10 minute charge is enough for a full day. Plus it has nice features and is VERY comfortble.

I have the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0, so far it's batteries have lasted several months, and the status still says good. It's supposed to have reasonably long life, we'll see. My other computer has a Logitech wireless optical mouse, and it's pretty hard on batteries, about every six weeks.
