At 10 years I kinda wonder what the odds your AA batteries become problem occasionally (leaking, etc) long before the Airtag... although they are Lithium batteries.

I think leaking is relatively rare, but based on my experience of "10 year" smoke detector batteries they usually don't last anywhere near that.

Also there's stupid legislation in the UK at least around making smoke detectors with replaceable batteries. Took me quite a while to find some.
