However, the AirTag’s battery life is designed to meet these regulations.
Key Features of the AirTag
The AirTag is a small, lightweight device that can be attached to personal belongings. Its compact size and battery life make it an ideal solution for users who want to keep track of their items without the hassle of constant monitoring.
However, lithium batteries with a capacity of more than 100 Wh are prohibited in carry-on luggage.
Battery Life and Charging
Normal Use
The battery life of the AirTag is estimated to be around 1 year with normal use. This means that the device can be used for tracking purposes without needing to be recharged frequently. However, it’s worth noting that the actual battery life may vary depending on factors such as usage patterns, environmental conditions, and the type of battery used.
Charging
The AirTag does not require charging. It is designed to be a low-power device that can operate for extended periods without needing to be recharged. However, if the battery is depleted, it can be replaced with a new one.
Battery Replacement
Replacement Process
Replacing the battery in the AirTag is a relatively simple process. The user can access the battery compartment by sliding open the back of the device. The battery is then removed and replaced with a new one.

Lithium Battery Restrictions
Carry-on Luggage
Lithium batteries with a capacity of 100 Wh or less are permitted in carry-on luggage.
Air Travel
When traveling by air, it’s essential to check with the airline for their specific policies regarding lithium batteries. Some airlines may have additional restrictions or requirements for carrying lithium batteries.
Packaging and Shipping
When shipping lithium batteries, it’s crucial to follow proper packaging and shipping procedures to ensure safe transportation.
Don’t get grounded: Know the airline’s lithium-ion battery policies before your flight.
Preparing for the Flight
Before embarking on a long-haul flight, it’s essential to consider the airline’s policies on electronic devices and lithium-ion batteries. Understanding these policies will help you avoid any last-minute surprises or fines. Check the airline’s website or contact their customer service to confirm their policies on lithium-ion batteries and electronic devices. Familiarize yourself with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines for lithium-ion batteries in carry-on and checked luggage. Be aware of the airline’s specific restrictions on battery size, weight, and type.
Carrying Lithium-Ion Batteries
If you’re allowed to carry lithium-ion batteries, make sure to follow these guidelines:
Carrying Lithium Metal Batteries
If you’re allowed to carry lithium metal batteries, follow these guidelines:
This is a tiny amount of power, but it’s enough to keep the AirTag running for up to 5 years on a single charge.
The Power of a Small Coin Cell Battery
The CR2032 coin cell battery is a tiny powerhouse that packs a significant punch. With a capacity of 2.35 Wh, it’s a relatively small battery, but it’s enough to keep the AirTag running for an impressive amount of time. The battery’s small size belies its impressive power output. It’s a common battery type used in many devices, including watches, calculators, and other small electronics.*
How the AirTag Uses the Battery
The AirTag uses the CR2032 battery to power its various features, including:
The battery is designed to be low power, which is essential for the AirTag’s small size and low power requirements.
The Science Behind the Battery
The CR2032 battery works by using a chemical reaction between lithium and other materials to generate electricity. This reaction is what allows the battery to produce power. The battery’s chemistry is based on a lithium-ion battery design.
