Troubleshooting AirTag Issues: A Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Guide
AirTags are handy little devices that help you keep track of your belongings, but like all gadgets, they require some maintenance. One common issue that users face is a dead battery. If you’re wondering how to change your AirTag battery, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll take you through each step to replace the battery in your AirTag so you can get back to tracking with ease.
Understanding Your AirTag Battery
The AirTag uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which is widely available and easy to find in stores or online. This lithium battery typically lasts about a year before it needs replacing. You’ll know it’s time to change the battery when your iPhone sends you a notification saying the battery is low or when your AirTag stops responding.
Gathering Your Tools
Before starting the replacement process, gather everything you’ll need: 1) A new CR2032 coin cell battery; 2) A small coin (such as a quarter) or a flathead screwdriver; 3) Clean cloth for handling the device. Having everything at hand will make the process smooth and straightforward.
Opening Your AirTag
To access the battery compartment of your AirTag, lay it on its back with the stainless steel side facing up. Gently press down on this metal cover while twisting it counterclockwise using your coin or flathead screwdriver. It should pop off easily without requiring excessive force.
Replacing The Battery
Once you’ve removed the cover, take out the old CR2032 battery. Note how it’s positioned—+ side up is essential for proper functionality. Now insert your new CR2032 battery in exactly the same orientation (positive side facing up). You’ll hear a sound indicating that it’s connected properly.
Reassembling Your AirTag
After replacing the old battery with a new one, align the metal cover back onto your AirTag. Press down gently and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place securely. Ensure there are no gaps between parts; otherwise, water may damage internal components.
Congratulations. You’ve successfully replaced your AirTag’s battery and are ready to continue keeping track of your items effortlessly. Remember to check periodically for low-battery notifications so you’re never caught off guard again.
