Yes, airtags need to be charged.
Airtags are small tracking devices designed by Apple to help users locate their belongings. The airtag itself does not have a built-in rechargeable battery. Instead, it uses a replaceable CR2032 lithium coin cell battery that lasts for about a year. When the battery is running low, the airtag will send a notification to the user’s iPhone to replace the battery.
Steps to Check Battery Status and Replace
1. Open the “Find My” app on your iPhone.
2. Select the “Items” tab and locate your airtag.
3. Check the battery status of the airtag in the app.
4. If the battery is low or needs replacement, twist and remove the stainless steel back cover of the airtag.
5. Replace the CR2032 lithium coin cell battery with a new one.
6. Place the back cover back on and twist to secure it in place.
By regularly checking the battery status of your airtags and replacing the battery when needed, you can ensure that your airtags continue to function effectively in helping you keep track of your items.
