Chosen Solution
Looking for information on how to replace the rechargeable battery in the device. Although Logitech advertises that the battery lasts up to a month, mine are lucky to last two days. I’d consider putting in a higher rated, or at least better quality battery if possible. Thanks! Update (10/11/2016) Any thoughts on this? If anyone knows the specs of the battery I can try a replacement …
Hello. Trying to contribute for those having problems removing the skid pads without destroying them: using a heat blower on a 50 Celsius (very low) and preheating it for 30 seconds makes them easier to remove, using an x-acto knife with care. You can use a hair dryer but then have to be careful since is it a lot hotter. Hope to have helped someone. https://i.imgur.com/V9N2Xzy.png
I just did this on mine. One of the four corner pads came apart when I tried peeling it off, with one side the smooth surface and foam, and the other side the foam and then the sticky part that was attached to the bottom of the mouse. The mouse body is slightly hinged, with a clip in the back but the front end (where the charger port is) just swings away from the main body. Inside, the battery replacement was super-straightforward, except that as noted the old battery is glued pretty well to the plastic mouse body. Just use a screwdriver or something as a lever and try to not crack the plastic, slow steady increasing pressure, and it’ll come unglued. I’m going to just try and superglue the slippery foot I broke back together again.
I suspect that will mean it won’t come off the same way in the future and this is the last time I can replace the battery, but who knows. I’ve found replacement feet online but since this model is discontinued, hard to say if they’ll remain available. Sorry for the lack of pics from the inside but once you get the feet off, unscrew it, and pry the top cover half off the bottom part (which is where all the important bits are) it’s very easy.
I’m not for certain but I took mine apart without breaking it and the battery is superglued literally I think I seen a 500mwh 3.7v 1.9wh Lithium Ion 2inches by 2.5 inches long rechargeable battery. basically the size of battery like this in my old mouse Logitech MX

I was finally able to find what looks like a valid replacement battery for the mouse: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254184524504 Hopefully a new battery will hold the charge and eliminate the need to be constantly on the charging cable.
I searched ebay for “mx anywhere 2 replacement battery” there are probably new listings going up every few months I ordered this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263828467814 based on the seller having more feedback, and being US based, fingers crossed. Will try to update when I’ve used the battery for some time.
