An AirTag's battery is easy to replace, but you don't want it to run low at a critical moment.

The short version

  • Why the battery in your AirTag might die quickly, and what you can do to make it last longer.
  • Apple's AirTag is a must-have accessory for travelers or anyone who's forgetful, and one of the best parts about using AirTags is that you don't have to worry about recharging them.
  • That's because the tracker runs on a standard coin-cell battery, which Apple says lasts for more than a year before you need to replace it.

What happened

But in practice, you might find that your AirTags run out of battery much faster — it really depends on how you use them. Even with the the second-generation AirTag , which released earlier this year, the battery performance remains the same.

Why it matters

The good news is that a few simple habits can help its battery last longer.
