Replacing AirTag battery
I've got the AirTag open and the new battery in but it doesn't want to snap closed.

It doesn’t “snap” at all.
Rather, “GENTLE” is the operative word.
Once the replacement battery is in, align the cover’s locking tabs with the slots in the body; then gently press and rotate the cover CW just a bit to “latch.”
It’s takes a bit of a practice to get it to rotate w/o squeezing too hard. Using two fingers at opposite edges of the cover often works better for most individuals.

Thank you! When I couldn't get it to close with the new battery in place, I removed the battery and tried to close it. It closed and now I can't get it to turn to open and try again with a new battery. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again!
