Thought I had gotten a bad batch of batteries because no matter what I did, I couldn’t get an AirTag back online after a replacement.
Turns out, the bitter coating seems to be preventing proper contact in the AirTag. Cleaning the battery off with an alcohol swab solved the problem immediately for me and my AirTag came right back online.
Yes. Had exactly the same! Was thinking that I could not replace a simple battery and contemplated my life choices. But then came to the conclusion it was just the coating :)
It’s the battery that’s out of touch
