I recently bought a Logitech Wireless Keyboard and mouse. I use it almost daily but for a couple of hours only. The keyboard has 2 AAA batteries and the mouse has 1 AA battery. The box mentions that the keyboard has a 24 month battery life and the mouse has a 5 month battery life.
Should I keep the batteries in the keyboard/mouse, when they are not in use?Is it safe? Does the battery life mean 24 months of continuous usage or 24 months of average usage?

Probably means 24 months of average use. Unless they are bunny powered.
I would not take the batteries out with normal usage. You are more likely to damage or reduce the tension of the springs that hold the battery contacts. If the hardware is going to be stored for three months or more. Then remove them, as batteries have been know to leak chemicals onto your hardware, possibly damaging the circuitry. And three months turn in to six which turns into three years.
