Steps 2-5 remove sticker, two Phillips cover screws and battery cover. Steps 6-7 disconnect plug connector and release adhesive. Steps 9-15 install and reconnect new battery, refit cover and sticker.

Source1Maker product pagelogitech.com/en-us/shop/p/mx-mechanical.920-010547Read 8 October 2026Current maker full-charge claim is up to 15 days with backlighting enabled, or up to 10 months with backlighting turned off. These are calendar-use estimates with idle time and adaptive proximity/ambient illumination, not continuous typing at a fixed brightness. Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions. Connection, polling rate, daily workload, exact brightness, sleep settings and firmware are not stated. Published days and months are preserved without conversion to continuous hours.6Reviewarstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/logitechs-mx-keys-mechanical-is-a-satisfying-wireless-introduction-to-mech-keebsRead 5 October 2026Review reports the manufacturer claim of 360 h with backlighting enabled, equivalent to the current primary fifteen-calendar-day estimate. The stored table uses the current maker native days and months. This is normal calendar-use endurance with idle and adaptive proximity/ambient lighting, not continuous typing or maximum fixed brightness. Connection and polling are unstated. The partial 170.5 h observation with 90% remaining is not a measured full-discharge runtime.
