Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse.
Lithium-ion batteries have a limited lifespan. If your mouse dies quickly, it may be time to replace the battery.
If possible, follow this guide after your battery has fallen below 25% charge. While your MX Anywhere 2S has a relatively small battery, any charged battery is a potential safety hazard.

Insert an opening pick between a mouse foot and the lower case.

Use a pair of tweezers or a spudger to remove any large chunks of leftover adhesive.

Whats the battery dimensions? That 600mAh battery is exorbitantly high in price when you can get the same 3.7v LiPo for around 6 USD
