Introduction

Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Logitech G915 TKL wireless keyboard.

Lithium-ion batteries have a limited lifespan. If your keyboard dies quickly and doesn't hold a charge, it may be time to replace the battery.

If possible, follow this guide after your battery has fallen below 15% charge—this is indicated when the battery light on the top edge of the keyboard is red. While your G915 TKL keyboard has a relatively small battery, any charged battery is a potential safety hazard if accidentally bent or punctured.

If your battery looks puffy or swollen, take extra precautions.

Tools

Parts

Step 1

Slide the power switch on the top edge of your keyboard into the OFF position.
A red indicator should be visible beneath the switch.
Unplug all cables from your keyboard.
Lay your keyboard down with the feet facing up on a clean work surface.
If your work surface may scratch the keyboard, place a soft towel under it.

Step 2

The Logitech sticker hides two battery cover screws.
Heat an iOpener and lay it on the Logitech sticker for one minute.

Step 3

Use the flat end of a spudger or a fingernail to peel up a corner of the sticker.
Use your fingers to peel up and remove the sticker.

Step 4

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two 4 mm‑long screws securing the battery cover.

Step 5

If you have a USB receiver stored in the battery cover compartment, use your finger to slide it out and remove it.

Step 6

Plastic clips secure the perimeter of the battery cover.
Insert your finger in the USB receiver compartment on the battery cover.
Pull up the bottom edge of the cover to release the clips.
Don't try to fully remove the cover yet, as it's still connected by the battery cable.
Gently pull the cover to the right so you can access the battery connector on the left side of the recess.

Step 7

Use a pair of angled tweezers to firmly grip the battery connector.
Hold the tweezers with your fingers as close to the connector as possible to get a firm hold.
Slide the connector straight out of its socket.
If you're having trouble, gently rock the connector side-to-side to help loosen it.

Step 8

Remove the battery cover.
If your replacement battery comes attached to a new battery cover, skip the next three steps.

Step 9

Follow the next three steps to remove the old battery from the cover and install your new one.
Light adhesive secures the battery to its cover.
Gently slide the flat end of a spudger under one of the short edges of the battery and lift to separate the adhesive.
Be very careful not to puncture the battery, as it can leak dangerous chemicals or catch fire.
Remove the battery from its cover.

Step 10

Lay your new battery into its recess in the keyboard so the cable is on the left edge, near the battery connector.

Step 11

Cut a piece of double-sided tape so it fits on the line of squares on the bottom of the battery cover.
Press the tape firmly into place on the squares and remove the plastic backing.

Step 12

Insert the new battery's connector into its socket so the side with exposed pins is on the bottom.
Use a spudger to push the battery connector fully into its socket.

Step 13

Set the battery cover into place and firmly press down around its edges to engage all the clips.
You should feel and hear "clicks" as the clips engage.
