A safety feature made to stop kids from swallowing Apple AirTags' batteries can break the image tracker.
The lithium button batteries that power Apple's AirTag item trackers look like small coins. That is not necessarily such a bad thing, but for some children, the small, flat button battery could resemble candy. And as you might imagine, swallowing the component is not a healthy thing to do since it can cause permanent injury and deathTo prevent kids from swallowing a button battery, manufacturers are applying a bitter tasting substance to the batteries called Bitrex.
Symptoms of swallowing a button battery are not always immediately obvious. Children may suffer breathing problems or feel unwell. You also might see obvious signs such as finding your child coughing up or vomiting blood. A child could also insert a battery into an ear or nose causing the orifices to bleed.
Try to find out exactly what kind of battery your child swallowed but don't allow that to delay your journey to the ER.Some AirTags, as we pointed out, have just stopped working when a Bitrex-coated battery was used to power the device. That's due to the Bitrex-coating blocking the AirTag's battery contact from touching the metal of the button battery.
