Use this guide to replace the battery in a Logitech G903.

If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

This guide requires removing the mouse feet. If you’re planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.

You might need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

  1. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Turn off the mouse: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Turn off the mouse: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Before you begin, flip the mouse's power switch to the OFF position.

    • A red indicator should be visible beneath the switch.

    • Unplug all cables from the mouse.

    • Throughout the repair, it may be helpful to lay the mouse on a soft cloth to stabilize it and prevent damage while you work.

  2. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Heat the mouse foot: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • The feet are secured to the bottom of the mouse with strong adhesive. In order to cleanly remove them, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the mouse feet for one minute to heat the adhesive.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.

    • If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic shell.

  3. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Separate the mouse foot adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Separate the mouse foot adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Separate the mouse foot adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • The feet have two layers—a rubberized one and an adhesive pad underneath.

    • If you're reusing the feet, be very careful not to separate the two layers or damage the feet.

    • Slide the tip of an opening pick under an edge of the bottom mouse foot, making sure it goes under both the foot and its adhesive pad.

    • If the foot feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.

    • Gently slide the pick farther under the foot and lift until you can grip it with your fingers.

    • Use your fingers to peel up and remove the foot.

    • If the rubber layer separated from its adhesive pad:

    • Slide the flat end of a spudger under an edge of the adhesive. If the adhesive seems stuck, you may need to heat it further.

    • Peel the adhesive off.

    • To install a new foot:

    • If any of the feet got damaged during removal or separated from their adhesive pads, replace them.

    • Use a spudger to carefully scrape up and remove any remaining adhesive bits.

    • Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to thoroughly clean all adhesive residue from the foot recesses. Allow the surface to completely dry.

    • Remove the feet from their backing and firmly press them into place.

  5. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Remove the pentagonal mouse feet: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Remove the pentagonal mouse feet: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Repeat the process to remove the two pentagonal mouse feet on the left and right sides.

  6. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Heat the Logitech sticker: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • The Logitech sticker on the bottom of the mouse is sensitive to heat and crumbles easily. If you want to keep that sticker intact, apply as little heat as possible and remove the sticker carefully.

    • If you don't want to remove the sticker all the way, you can puncture it with a screwdriver where the two screws are located beneath it.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the Logitech sticker for one minute to soften its adhesive.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.

    • If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the sticker a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic shell.

    • If you want to reuse the sticker, be delicate and work slowly.

    • Slide the tip of an opening pick under an edge of the Logitech sticker.

    • Gently slide the pick farther under the sticker and lift until you can grip it with your fingers.

    • If the sticker feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.

    • Use your fingers to peel up and remove the sticker.

    You don't need to fully remove this sticker, all you need to do is flip the thinnest part (like till you reach the part like in the photo above), put the screwdriver in, unscrew the screw, take the screw out and stick the sticker back on. Do the same with the other screw and during the assembly.

  8. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Remove the case screws: crwdns2935265:08crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Remove the case screws: crwdns2935265:08crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the seven 4.5 mm‑long screws securing the two halves of the mouse together.

    • On older models, the top middle screw may be a Torx T5.

    You'll need a T5 bit to remove the seventh top screw.

    Olivier Charbonneau - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    It used to be that on the older models, but on the newer one I just opened it had a Philips for that last one too, just like the guide shows.

    • Don't completely separate the two halves yet—they're still connected together by a delicate cable.

    • Swing the top case towards the rear of the mouse to access the internals.

    • Keep the top case lifted with one hand, or use something heavy to support it while you work.

    • Be careful not to strain the cable connecting the two halves.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to firmly grasp the sides of the battery connector.

    • Hold the tweezers with your fingers as close to the connector as possible to get a firm grip.

    • Pull the connector up and out of its socket, gently rocking it back and forth to loosen it.

  13. Logitech G903 Battery Replacement, Remove the top half of the mouse: crwdns2935265:013crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Remove the top half of the mouse.

    • The battery housing is not in direct contact with the outer mouse cover. Because of that you might need to repeat the heating procedure a couple of times to loosen the battery adhesive enough in order to remove the battery.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back of the mouse.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the battery as it is susceptible to heat damage.

    • At higher temperatures the plastic mouse cover becomes heat sensitive. Avoid overheating it.

    • Insert an opening pick in to the gap between the battery housing and the battery at the side opposite to the battery cable.

    • Slide the opening pick under the battery and lift up to pry the battery off of its housing.

    • Make sure you push underneath the battery and not into it. Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a thermal event.

    • In case you have trouble prying up the battery with an opening pick, you can try to use a spudger instead as seen in this picture. When working with a spudger take extra care not to bend the battery.

    • If you encounter significant resistance, pause and heat the adhesive further.

    • Remove the battery.

    • Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • It is likely you can reuse the old adhesive with the new battery. If you wish to replace the adhesive instead, remove the old adhesive and wipe away any adhesive residue with a lint-free cloth and high-concentration isopropyl alcohol.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the device at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
