Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your Logitech MX Master 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 Master 2S has a relatively small battery, any charged battery is a potential safety hazard if accidentally bent or punctured.

Sure would be a more useful guide if the kit was in stock to purchase. Thanks anyway!
Bought the kit w/ battery to replace it on my MX Master 2S. The guide is great, but I noticed that with the new battery, the mouse never finishes charging, i.e. the third (final) LED will blink forever instead of turning solid like it used to when the original battery was new. Tried it with different chargers and after doing the full recharge cycle described on the instructions (full charge + 2h, full discharge, full charge). As such, the battery never shows as 100% on software and the battery capacity is not great. Not sure if there's a way to reset the battery charging circuit or if my battery is defective.
