How to Check an AirTag’s Battery Life
Apple’s AirTag is a top-notch item tracker. But since the device is battery-powered, you’ll need to be informed when the power is low so you can replace the cell.
We’ll show you how you can determine whether it’s time to replace the battery in your AirTag.
Two Ways to See When You Need an AirTag Battery Replacement
There are two ways you can find out when it’s time for an AirTag battery replacement.
With normal usage, Apple says the battery in an AirTag can last for up to a year before needing to be replaced.
The most notable way is that you will receive a notification on your iPhone. It will state that the AirTag battery is low on a specific tracker and that it needs to be replaced. If you select that notification, it will send you to the specific AirTag page in the Find My app.
And if you don’t know, the Find My app is the main place to interact with your AirTag.
Along with being able to see the tracker’s last known location, it’s possible to have a specific AirTag play a noise to help locate it if in range. It’s also the place to go to use your compatible iPhone’s tracking capability to get a better idea of where the object is located.
In the app, you can alsoreset your AirTag to give it to someone else.
you may also use the app to see the remaining battery life of your AirTag. Open Find My and select theItemstab. There you will see all of your AirTags.
Select the specific AirTag. Unfortunately, you won’t see a specific battery life meter. You will only see an alert if your AirTag battery is low. On the same page, you can chooseReplace Batteryand see instructions on the quick process.
Just to note, there is a bit of wiggle room when you receive the low battery notification. More than likely, you can use the AirTag for a few additional days without any worry. But you need to confirm to change the battery as soon as possible so you won’t lose access to the tracking functionality.
