AirTag not registering a new battery.

Replaced the battery, but the AirTag doesn't beep or register that a useful battery is in place (tried a few new batteries, just in case). The AirTag noticed that the battery was low, but a new battery does nothing—no beep, nothing.

Try another brand of battery.


Some brands have a bitterant coating (to protect children) that interferes with the AirTag; Duracell batteries, for instance, have that coating.
