Factors affecting AirTag lifespan
How to preserve AirTag battery health
AirTags do not have a built-in rechargeable battery; instead, they use a regular CR2032 coin cell battery. The lifespan of an AirTag largely depends on how often it is used and the environmental conditions it is exposed to. Factors such as the frequency of pinging the AirTag, the distance it travels, and the number of devices it connects with can all impact the battery life.
To extend the lifespan of your AirTag battery, it is recommended to optimize its usage. This can be achieved by adjusting the frequency of location updates, ensuring the AirTag is not constantly in use when unnecessary, and keeping it away from extreme temperatures or moisture.
Regularly checking the battery level of your AirTag through the Find My app can also help in monitoring its health. Additionally, replacing the battery with a new one when needed can prolong the overall lifespan of the AirTag. By taking these precautions, you can help ensure that your AirTag remains functional for as long as possible.
