Difficulty in replacing AirTag Battery

I’m not sure why Apple made a product that makes it so difficult to replace the battery almost all the coin batteries come with that bitter film on the back. Where are we supposed to buy batteries? I have 12 batteries here that I can’t use. I’ve tried alcohol as someone posted wasn’t helpful. Any ideas?

These either don’t appear to have bitterant listed, or have a compatible coating:


Most of the Duracell CR2032 products list compatibility with AirTag.

thanks I just placed an order. I have a drawer full of 2032 coin batteries that did not work with the AirTag. Hopefully this will be game changer. I’ve tried alcohol scrubbing them. I saw someone else posted using and I still will pad. I haven’t tried that yet, but I counted my batteries the other day I have 18 batteries that do not work in my AirTag.🤣
