Thank you for sharing this information. I’m investigating this product prior to purchasing.

I believe that using the "Remove" command in Find My app (Items) will reset the AirTag for another person to use. It disconnects it from the Apple ID used to register it. Have tested this.

Of course, if the AirTag is malfunctioning, this battery method should suffice to fully reset it. You will probably want to remove it from the Find My app anyway so new registration can proceed. (I have not tested performing this hard reset and then pairing with my ID while it was still registered.)
