Introduction

Use this guide to safely remove and replace the battery in a Logitech Slim Folio iPad keyboard case.

Note: The Slim Folio requires two CR2032 coin cell batteries as replacements.

Tools

Spudger

Parts

CR2032 Lithium Battery

Step 2

Grip the two case corners closest to the keyboard with your thumbs and pull them down, away from the iPad.
Remove the iPad from the case.

Step 3

Fold the case in half, so the keyboard is facing up.
Locate the battery tray.

My Logitech keyboard has stopped working after I wiped it down with a soft cloth. Tried new batteries, no good. I see your iPad has three dots at base - to connect to keyboard? My iPad doesn’t have those.

Step 4

Insert the pointed end of a spudger into the access hole on the battery tray.
Push the spudger in, down, and pull the spudger towards you.
The battery tray should "click" open.

Heb je geen spudger? Je kan ook een zakmes gebruiken.

Step 5

Insert the flat edge of the spudger into the top of the battery tray.
Push the battery tray out, away from the case, until you can grip it with your fingers.

Step 6

Remove the battery tray.

Step 7

Flip the battery tray over.
Use the pointed end of the spudger to push both batteries out of the tray.
Remove the batteries.

Step 8

To install new batteries:
Press one edge of a CR2032 coin cell battery against the contact arm, its text and "+" sign facing up.
Press to fully seat the battery.
Repeat for the second battery.

Super duidelijke uitleg.

Excellent instructions. So easy - you made me a hero!

So easy to do. I’m up and running again!

Susan Hallett -

when you put the battery tray back in, you have to push it kind of hard to get it to go all the way in. I didn’t have a spudger but was able to use an ice pick (gently) and then a small flat screw driver.

What if you don’t have a spider? Is there anything else that you can use to open the battery tray?

Kathy Pecsko -

You can use something pointy instead of a Spudger. For example: A pair of scissors ✂️. You can open them with the pointy blade. Thanks!
