Hi, I’m using Energizer batteries with no coating -because I tried 3 other brands with the same result. I have read that those are the best replacements.
Still showing red and low battery for all four tags.
Is there a reset option? Any other solutions besides telling me to close it correctly which I did. I fix technology for a living….
None of the official Apple stuff worked for me, not anyone else's suggestions. Here's what did:
I was already in the "Find My Items" app trying to get the iPhone to find the AirTag with the new battery. It was making beeps every time I put the battery in so I knew it was getting power. The reset doesn't work; on the fifth time it makes the same noise and then does nothing. Out of frustration, I went back to the "items" tab in the app and slid left on the item name to remove it. The app asked if I was sure; I said Yes. Then the AirTag beeped and I got an immediate window with the AirTag spinning and a prompt asking if I wanted to add a new airtag. Bingo. Just like new.

Yes, there is a reset option.
