Does anyone know how to replace the battery in an AirTag? I’m having trouble figuring out how to open it and what battery to use. Any step-by-step advice or tips would be really helpful!
I’ve done this a few times — just press and twist the stainless steel back of the AirTag counterclockwise, remove the old battery, and pop in a new CR2032 coin cell (positive side up). Then twist the cover back on until it clicks, and it’s good to go.
To replace an AirTag battery: press and twist the metal back cover counterclockwise to open it, remove the old CR2032 battery, insert a new CR2032 with the positive side up, then twist the cover clockwise until it locks. A chime confirms successful replacement.
To change the battery, unscrew the stainless-steel back/back counterclockwise and then remove the cover before discarding the old battery and inserting a new CR2032 coin cell battery (with the positive side facing up) and screwing the cover back in place until it clicks.
