Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in a Logitech K800 wireless keyboard.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your keyboard. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

the original took 2 lithium AA rechargeables. their update just creates ewaste
not lithium! Just standard Ni-MH AA's. I was pretty disappointed when I bought the second keyboard (the fist one was already pretty beaten up) only to discover that below the battery door there is just plastic and no battery! bastards... I used the keyboard from time to time as 2xAA charger (as most of the time it was connected to power) and I swapped those fully charged batteries with discharged ones from other devices that take 2xAAs aswell
Do you have a part number for the replacement battery?

The part in the canadianbatteries.com link is not the correct part for this keyboard.
The correct PN is 533-000141, this has longer leads on the battery and the battery capacity is larger than the one linked. Aliexpress is the only place I have been able to locate a new one.
Kevin, exactly right. I have 2 of these, the original and this one. Whoever the brain trust was that came up with this cockamamy idea was a numbskull. The rechargeable batteries dont last forever, why make a product. you must basically throw away because of the imbecile design? Sheesh.
