Mine just died due to battery controller failure after about 3 years.. Looks like it is a common problem with this keyboard as well..

Mine is 3 1/2 years old and still on the original batteries. If/when they die it will already be out of warranty period so I will at least replace the batteries. If they don't work, nothing lost. I like it so much I'm considering buying another in case Logitech drops it from their line up. Which I thiunk is possible since they don't show support above Windows 7. Anybody using this with Windows 8???

The answer below that says you can change the batteries is incorrect as it will void your warranty. I changed mine and they didn't work and Logitech would not send me a new one since I opened the keyboard to replace the batteries.

Yes you can, either by turning it down using the Hot keys on the keyboard itself (F keys, from 100% to 0%) or by installing the SetPoing software and configuring the setting to OFF.

Quote from Logitech forums"The K800 takes AA NiMH batteries and recharges with a Micro USB cable. The same as a Performance Mouse MX. The door has a screw holding it in place so if you need to replace the batteries for any reason, you can."I looked inside mine today and this is correct, the door is a little hard to get back on though. The AC-to-USB wall charger is $10+shipping.PS. this keyboard works at PC start up/bios.

You can use any AA batteries in the keyboard, rechargeables or otherwise. Just don't plug in the charging cable if you are using non-rechargeable batteries. You might have an explosion. Just unscrew the screw from the battery compartment cover on the back to remove batteries. One battery has a sticky plastic strip partially holding it down. I cut it off with scissors and refined it with a utility knife. Now I can remove and replace my batteries with ease. Battery compartment cover is flimsy and a bit of a challenge to put back on, but nothing major.

Thats great to know I just brought mine home and haven't even opened the box yet as my new htpc hasn't arrived.But I have a box of AA nimh batteries as Seems all my grandsons toys use Batteries and buying recharables just mades sence. They are pretty inexpensive on ebay by the way.

I don't believe the battery is replaceable. I've had the prior version of this one for over 23 years and the battery still runs. Hope that helps.

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

I have had good experience with the keyboard lasting all day. I've used it in meetings that are daylong, and lasting into the evening, and haven't had any problem with it working the entire time.

There is no lag time between keystroke and letter on screen, it's immediate, as a notebook. The longest I used it without interruption was for about two hours, and for that the battery lasted perfectly. I haven't paid attention in battery charging yet, I've just put it charging overnight. After using it now for a while, there is a problem: the ink of the most used keys is already gone. It's not a huge problem but unpleasant considering I bought it for a month or so.

No, but it has never been a problem. The keyboard is lightweight. It takes just two AAA batteries, which have not needed to be replaced yet.

When not used for 5 min, the key board gets disconnected from the tab. It gets activated in few seconds after tapping on any key. Not sure, if yhis can be really called sleep/wake. This anyway doesnt save the battery of the tab, as it continuously searches for bluetooth devices, till it goes to sleep. But, I did not charge my keyboard for more than 5 days of conyinuously "ON" position, with approximately 90 minutes of daily usage.

I would say No! I've had this for approx 1 year (got it for Christmas 2011) I didn't like the delay in having to put my hand over it for it to light up so I just left it plugged in all the time. The whole thing just died this weekend. I'm now looking into replacing the battery. Otherwise I love this keyboard. Well, not this cheapy keyboard I'm stuck using for now until I can get new batteries. ugh!

Sorry Jennie I don't know. I use only with ipad and still love my keyboard. BTW I use everyday since last Dec, don't shut off keyboard and haven't had to change the batteries.

Don't know what kind of battery, but I have not had to recharge since I got the keyboard in May 2014. I'm sure I've used it for over 30 hours.

Hi, from what i know the battery is non replaceable nor can you replace it. But gives up to 8-10 hours of play time. I leave mine off charge at home to maintain battery life. All said this is one great device. The build quality is excellent and the sound is great.

I've had mine for over 12 years, use it constantly at home office. Amazing product, I'm on my 4th computer, same keyboard! They have made improvement in battery life since mine.

I have had this keyboard and mouse only a few months. My experience with other Logitech products, including keyboards and mouses, is that they will last years if proper care is exercised.

I've had my Lenovo since June and almost exclusively keep it plugged in. I used the battery a couple of times but only for a short period. So, I really can't comment on the battery life. However, I do understand that it's good for only 2 hours or so. I've read other complaints about that. Also, can't comment on the battery replacement issue. Sorry!

The battery for the keyboard lasted a few months for me. But, it did not come with a charger. I think it uses the newest iPad charger. I have the older iPad two charger so it doesn't fit.

The battery usually last about 2 yrs. I would get it diectly from the seller, I did and the seller sent me a new one right away, but again that will depend on your seller. To remove and insert a new battery is very tricky, so it takes some tweaking. However, if you just bought the product, send it back for a new one. I'm very happy with my two.
