Introduction
Use this guide to safely remove and replace the battery in a Logitech MX Vertical wireless mouse.
Note: If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Is it actually important to replace with the same mAh value?
Or can I go with something bigger as long as the voltage is 3.7V, the connector is the same and the battery actually fits inside the mouse?
