The AirTag has been with us for a year now. That means that there are many users who need to know how to change the battery to the AirTag , as it is possible that it is beginning to reach its last days of autonomy. Unfortunately, the battery in this beacon is not rechargeable, but we can replace it for very little money.
You won’t need any complicated tools or weird parts , contrary to what you might expect from an Apple product. And that speeds up and makes the whole process much easier.
Check your AirTag battery
We already know that the AirTag has many ways to be used . From recovering a $7,000 camera to finding a stolen scooter . Going through a lost puppy that is reunited with its owner . The advantages of having one on objects susceptible to loss are many.
If you’ve been using it for any of these things for a while, you may be wondering how to change the battery to an AirTag. But first of all, you will need to know what charge your battery has. To do this, do the following:
- On your iPhone, open the Find My app.
- There go to the Objects tab and choose the AirTag you want.
- On its tab you will see a battery symbol, which shows the current battery charge.
