Replacing the batteries with new coin batteries. It is very easy and costs like $5.
There are LOTS of posts on MR about people having issues with the batteries with the bitterant coating - your personal experience does not refute theirs (and you advising others, despite that is pretty careless).5 replaced 3 out of five in 11/2 years.No I have used the Bitterrant types and they worked.
not refuting anything silly. I stated that it doesn't always apply. Why else does it work in my example (3 times)? problem is the layers of the coating aren't always the same it seems. I am not wrong source or no source it doesn't always apply to every case.There are LOTS of posts on MR about people having issues with the batteries with the bitterant coating - your personal experience does not refute theirs (and you advising others, despite that is pretty careless).
From Apple:
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.

I also got batteries on Amazon. Just make sure you purchase ones without the bitterant coating. I've read that they don't work well with AirTags.
If your idea of ASAP includes walking around an IKEA store maze for 4 hours, then we have different definitions of that term. I could probably have Amazon deliver faster!I recommend ones from IKEA if you need it ASAP
That has not been my experience.What are you talking about? No you don't! AirTags are designed to have the battery changed by the end user as everyone above has said, and I have done multiple times.
That has not been my experience.
It has not been my experience that India exists, but that's only because I have not gone there to experience its existence.That has not been my experience.
I have successfully exchanged the batteries in both of my AirTags several months ago.It has not been my experience that India exists, but that's only because I have not gone there to experience its existence.
