How long do AirTags last? Here’s what you need to know

Let us walk tyou through how to replace an AirTag battery

Apple AirTag on white table

If you travel often, have a knack for misplacing things, or just like the convenience of smart tech, you've likely heard of Apple AirTags. These small, button-shaped tracking devices can be life savers when it comes to keeping track of your personal items. But how long do AirTags last? Keep reading for the answers.
How long do AirTags last?
Apple AirTags are powered by standard CR2032 coin cell batteries, which you might already be familiar with if you've used other small electronic gadgets. According to Apple, the battery life of an AirTag should last more than one year under normal use. But what does "normal use" really mean? Essentially, this means using your AirTag to ping your items occasionally and having it emit a signal when nearby devices on Apple's Find My network detect it.
Factors that affect battery life

Frequency of use: If you frequently use the AirTag's precise location feature or trigger the built-in speaker to find lost items, your battery life will be shorter. The more you interact with your AirTag, the faster the battery wears down.
Find My network activity: AirTags work by tapping into Apple’s Find My network, which anonymously leverages the millions of iPhones, iPads, and Macs around the world. If your AirTag is in a busy area with lots of interactions, it might use up battery more quickly than one tucked away in a drawer most of the time.
Environmental conditions: Just like any battery-operated device, temperature and weather can play a role in how well the AirTag performs. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect battery life, sometimes leading to premature battery depletion.
