If you ever need to change your AirTag battery, do not buy Duracell ones, or any which advertise this anti-swallow bitter coating. The battery will simply not work at all, at least for an airtag. I then bought non-coated Energizer batteries, and the AirTag immediately worked again.
I understand that this is a preventative measure, but from a customer point of view that was just an awful experience. The battery had one job to do, and it failed to do it because of the bitterant coating.

- marceldegraaf 4y agoHa, this bit me a few weeks ago. Almost went back to the store with the Duracell batteries, thinking they were empty on arrival because none of them worked in any of my AirTags, until I found out the bittering agent was the problem.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoHow strange. Does the airtag have particularly weak spring tension pushing the electrodes into the battery?
