air tag battery change ugh11

Sew Walker All Messages By This Member #21327 I have watched every video and site on how to change the battery on one battery I can not reconnect the top? on the second battery I can't open Any ideasi on why this is so difficult and how I can change the batteries Sue
Bev in TX All Messages By This Member #21330 I've never done it, but perhaps this will get the conversation going. Did the battery's package say that it is compatible with AirTags? It's rather difficult to tell what is going wrong. If the battery is compatible, perhaps you could tell us the exact steps you used to replace the battery? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 27, 2025, at 1:00?PM, Sew Walker via groups.io <sewnyes@...> wrote: I have watched every video and site on how to change the battery on one battery I can not reconnect the top on the second battery I can't open Any ideasi on why this is so difficult and how I can change the batteries Sue -- Bev in TX
Otto Nikolaus All Messages By This Member #21332 You’ve read <>? It must be a 2032 cell. These are the dimensions, 20 mm diameter and 3.2 mm thickness. Also, the + side must be facing up. I find that the highly polished surface of an Air Tag makes it difficult to turn the battery cover.

Sew Walker All Messages By This Member #21333 thank you Bev and Otto. ?my CR2032 is regular one. I will order the "made for air tags and see if that help Thanks ? I will let you know if the new ones work Sue ?
Bev in TX All Messages By This Member #21334 After saying that I had never done it before, last night one of my husband's AirTags notified us that its battery needed changing. I used those Apple Support directions and it was very straightforward. I had a little problem getting the battery cover back on. As you mentioned, it's slippery! This morning I remembered that many years ago we used rubber finger tips in the office to more easily flip through piles of paper. I'm wondering whether something like that would make it easier to deal with the slippery battery cover. I might get some to try out the next time one of his AirTags needs its battery changed. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 28, 2025, at 5:10?AM, Otto Nikolaus via groups.io <otto.nikolaus@...> wrote: You’ve read <>?

Otto Nikolaus All Messages By This Member #21335 Yes, I’m pretty sure that something rubbery would help. How about washing-up (dish-washing) gloves? It would also be better if the cover clicked into place. As it is, you just have to turn it until won’t turn any further.

Hugh All Messages By This Member #21336 开云体育 I just use ordinary CR2032 batteries. Work just fine. I don’t think there are special air tag ones. The problem lies in the difficulty getting the back on. To quote Long Jon Baldry, “It ain’t easy.” toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 28, 2025, at 9:09?AM, Sew Walker via groups.io <sewnyes@...> wrote: thank you Bev and Otto. ?my CR2032 is regular one.

Otto Nikolaus All Messages By This Member #21337 I think that’s only an issue with some “bitter-coated” cells, but I can only see that affecting the electrical connection, not the fit.

Hugh All Messages By This Member #21338 I used the Duracell bitter coated ones and they are fine, both fit and power. hugh toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 28, 2025, at 9:49?AM, Otto Nikolaus via groups.io <otto.nikolaus@...> wrote: I think that’s only an issue with some “bitter-coated” cells, but I can only see that affecting the electrical connection, not the fit.

Bev in TX All Messages By This Member #21339 Only some of the bitterant coated batteries won't work. Per Apple, "Look for packaging that states "Compatible with Apple AirTag". Some CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products." toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 28, 2025, at 9:15?AM, Hugh via groups.io <hcrymble@...> wrote: I used the Duracell bitter coated ones and they are fine, both fit and power. hugh On Apr 28, 2025, at 9:49?AM, Otto Nikolaus via groups.io <otto.nikolaus@...> wrote: I think that’s only an issue with some “bitter-coated” cells, but I can only see that affecting the electrical connection, not the fit. -- Bev in TX
Bev in TX All Messages By This Member #21340 I have a box of nitrile gloves. I could cut off a couple fingers from one of those gloves and see whether those are tacky enough to turn the battery cover. Thanks for the idea! toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 28, 2025, at 8:42?AM, Otto Nikolaus via groups.io <otto.nikolaus@...> wrote: Yes, I’m pretty sure that something rubbery would help.

Otto Nikolaus All Messages By This Member #21341 Why ruin the gloves when you could use them as they are?
