The battery in my AirTag was showing a low charge so I decided to replace it. I bought a DuraCell CR 2032 and it won't connect to the AirTag. No beep. The original battery is a Panasonic Cr 2032 and it will still make the beep when i put in the AirTag, but the charge is too low. Are there CR 2032 battery makes that do not work? Which do?
I just tried it myself w/ Duracells yesterday.
The Duracells have a non-conductive bitterant coating. (Intended to make a child spit out the battery)
As soon as I replaced the “child-safer” Duracells with non-coated Evereadys, the tags “beeped” just as-advertised as soon as the new battery “made contact.”

Thanks. I knew the Duracells were coated, but didn't realize it would affect contacts. Also it appears that the Duracells are slightly different dimensions.
I too thought someting was amiss w/ our 4x tags, and then discovered the Apple article.
Although opened, Home Depot happily exchanged them for Evereadys and handed me a $1.21 credit to boot. 👍
