Thinking about getting an AirTag to keep track of your keys or luggage? One of the most common questions is: Do AirTags need to be charged? The good news is, **no, AirTags do not need to be charged like your phone or smartwatch.**
Instead of rechargeable batteries, AirTags use a standard CR2032 coin cell battery. This readily available and inexpensive battery provides power for about a year, depending on usage. When the battery starts to run low, your iPhone will notify you, giving you plenty of time to prepare for a replacement.
Replacing the battery is simple and requires no tools. Just pop open the back, swap out the old battery for a new one, and you're good to go for another year! So, while you won't be plugging in your AirTag every night, you will need to keep a pack of CR2032 batteries handy eventually. This simple battery solution ensures AirTags are always ready to help you find what's lost.
