Welcome to our guide on how to check the life of and replace the battery for your AirTag. In this article, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions to help you easily monitor your AirTag’s battery status and ensure it lasts as long as possible. Let’s dive in!
Why Battery Replacement is Important for AirTag
The Apple AirTag is powered by a 3V CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. Although Apple claims the battery should last “more than a year,” certain features like Precision Seek and Lost Mode can drain the battery faster. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the battery level to ensure your AirTag is always functioning optimally.
Checking the Battery Level
Thanks to the Find My app, checking your AirTag’s battery level is a breeze. Here’s how:
- Open the Find My app.
- Navigate to the “Items” tab.
- Select the AirTag you want to check.
- The battery life will be displayed just below the name and location of the AirTag.
Replacing the AirTag Battery
If you find that your AirTag battery is running low, you can easily replace it with a standard CR2032 battery. Here’s what you need to do:
- Purchase a 3-volt lithium button cell battery (CR2032) from a drug store or retailer.
- Ensure the battery needs to be replaced by following our step-by-step guide, linked below.
- Once confirmed, carefully remove the back cover of the AirTag.
- Take out the old battery and replace it with the new CR2032 battery.
- Close the back cover securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
