Replacing Your AirTag Battery

I got a warning on my iPhone that Jezebel’s AirTag battery was running low.  I don’t know why I have an AirTag on Jez since she is a home body but she’s a modern bulldog and needs to sport some Apple tech!   So I need to replace the battery and here’s how you do it.

1. Press down on the polished stainless steel battery cover of your AirTag and rotate counterclockwise until the cover stops rotating.
2. Remove the cover and battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery (available at most electronic and drug stores) with the positive side facing up. You’ll hear a sound indicating that the battery is connected.
   CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.Be sure to remove the paper cover on the negative side before inserting.
4. Replace the cover, making sure that the three tabs on the cover align with the three slots on the AirTag.
5. Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops.
