About this replacement
Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse / MX Air — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (831409)
This 3.7V 600mAh Li-ion cell replaces the rechargeable battery in the Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse, MX Air, and M-RBQ124. It slots into the original battery bay and restores wireless operation after the factory cell degrades. OEM part numbers covered include 831409, 831410, 190310-1000, NTA2319, L-LL11, and 190310-1001.
- G7, MX Air, and M-RBQ124 compatibility: These three models share the same 3.7V single-cell Li-ion format, identical connector pinout, and the same BMS handshake thresholds — so one cell covers all three without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a G7 unit. The BMS accepted the cell immediately, showed no protection-trip events during normal tracking loads, and held voltage within the expected 3.7V nominal band throughout.
- G7 charging dock contact care: The G7 charges through a cradle with spring contacts rather than a cable port. If the cell isn't seating flush after swap, wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and cradle with a dry cloth — oxide buildup on those contacts interrupts the charge circuit before the BMS even engages.
Why the G7 stops reconnecting after a battery swap
The G7 uses Logitech's Unifying or legacy 27MHz receiver, and the wireless link drops completely when voltage falls below the BMS cutoff. When a fresh cell restores power, the mouse firmware re-initialises from scratch — the receiver doesn't always handshake automatically. Unplugging the USB receiver, waiting ten seconds, and replugging it forces a fresh pairing cycle. If that still fails, hold the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse for three seconds while the receiver is plugged in.
Mouse pointer stuttering or jumping at partial charge
The G7's laser sensor runs a tighter polling loop than most office mice, and it draws enough current that a degraded or deeply discharged cell sags below the stable voltage window during tracking. The result is micro-dropouts that look like pointer stuttering or erratic jumps rather than a clean shutdown. This isn't a receiver or surface issue — it's voltage sag under sensor load. Check the battery indicator in Logitech's software; if it shows above 50% but stuttering persists, the old cell has lost capacity and the replacement will resolve it.
