Logitech Slim Folio Battery Replacement

Introduction

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

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

It’s natural for batteries to lose capacity as they age. If your keyboard case dies quickly and doesn't hold a charge, it may be time to replace the batteries.

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

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?

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