Brand is not relevant, it's the type of Battery that matters.
AirTags take CR2032 Lithium 3V coin type batteries. Link ➡️ How to replace the battery in your AirTag - Apple Support
A Duracell CR2032 will fit just fine in an AirTag: https://www.duracell.com/en-us/product/cr-2032-lithium-coin-button-battery/

Seems like an issue with the Duracell brand only. It does not appear to be an issue with the AirTags directly but more with how Duracell is making their batteries.
If the coating is preventing the connection, then it's down to what Duracell did to their batteries. No way for Apple to know this before hand unless they went out ands tested hundreds of brands of CR2032 batteries.
It seams a bit of Lysol Disinfectant on the battery is all that it takes to make the Duracell Batteries work however.

Iti
it will fit in fine but it won’t work, it’s due to the coating a lot of battery manufacturers use now to put off children putting them in their mouths, buy duracell or energiser and try them in airtag, they don’t work
CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.
Can I use Duracell batteries in AirTag?
