Keyboard will not power up after battery replacement -

I have an older wireless keyboard, model # A1314 (2 AA battery). I started using NIMH rechargable batteries in all of my devices. To my utter surprise, the keyboard would not function with these batteries. IS battery 1.2 voltage the cause? These batteries work fine with the trackpad and the 10-key add on.

With some batteries the bump on the + end is not tall enough to reach the recessed + contact in the keyboard. A small piece of crumpled metal foil dropped in there may fix it.
