This product is possibly one of Apple’s best and most interesting inventions. AirTags are small devices about the size of a coin that are used to geolocate products. Many users hide them in their bikes, motorcycles, cars or suitcases, among others. The good thing about AirTag It is that they do not have a battery, it works with a stack and we are going to explain how you can change it.
You should know that Apple AirTags are designed to last approximately one year. A great optimization of autonomy, which surely many users would like to be imitated on the iPhone. We will explain how to change it and other important aspects about it.
Change battery of an AirTag
The first thing you should know is that if the AirTag battery is running out, we will receive an informative notification. It allows us to know when it is almost exhausted and so we can proceed to change it. Note that the change process is not particularly complicated, it can be done quite quickly.

We must follow these steps:
- We put the AirTag on a hard and stable surface. The part in contact with the surface must be white plastic
- Now we push on deck of stainless steeland where is the screen printed company logo
- Once we press, we turn to the left until it no longer spins
- We have to withdraw the deck and the stack
- We insert a new battery lithium button CR2032 of 3V. The positive must be up (we must see it)
- When the battery is in position, you will hear a small sound indicating that it is connected.
- We proceed to install again the deck of stainless steelmaking sure that the slots are aligned with the slots on the AirTag structure
- Finally, we turn the cover on the sense of the clockwise until it no longer spins
AirTag compatible batteries
You should know that Apple specifies that, although in principle all CR2032 batteries are compatible, there is a specific model recommended. The company recommends Duracell 2032, which has a coating of a bitter substance. The reason for recommending these batteries is to prevent children from swallowing them, as they would find them repulsive and throw them away.
In any case, we bring you a small selection of good quality batteries so that you can purchase the one that best suits you.
Duracell 2032
We start with those that are recommended by Apple. As we have mentioned, they have a technology called Baby Secure, which is this bitter coating that makes them throw them away when they accidentally put them in their mouth. If you have children at home, it can be an excellent option to avoid accidents. They are not bad at the price, since the unit costs just over 1.4 euros.

VARTA CR2032
As an alternative, we bring you this pack from the German brand VARTA, which has been manufacturing this type of products for many years. As in the previous case, it also has a bitter coating to prevent children from swallowing them. In addition, it is noted that the packaging is also designed so that it cannot be manipulated by children. The unit costs 1.25 euros.

Energizer 2032
Finally we bring you another trusted brand that offers a wide variety of solutions, such as Energizer. It is a reliable brand with very good quality products. Unfortunately, in this case it does not seem to have technology to prevent children from rejecting the battery if they put it in their mouths. The good thing is that it is a large pack that we can share with family and friends, the unit costing only 0.74 euros.
