What are the signs that my AirTag battery is running low

Signs of Low Battery

- Low Battery Notification: Your iPhone will send you a notification when the AirTag's battery is critically low. This is the most direct indication that you need to replace the battery[3][7].

- Find My App Indicator: Open the Find My app on your iPhone, go to the Items tab, and select your AirTag. If the battery is low, you will see a message stating "Low Battery" under the AirTag's name. Additionally, the battery icon may appear red, indicating that it needs replacement[1][4].

- Reduced Tracking Accuracy: If you notice that your AirTag is not accurately reporting its location or has difficulty connecting, this could also be a sign that the battery is running low[7].

- Battery Icon Visibility: If you do not see a battery icon next to your AirTag in the Find My app, it may indicate that the battery is very low or dead. In such cases, you will only receive notifications when it's critically low[3][4].

Additional Notes

- The AirTag uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which typically lasts about a year under normal usage conditions. If you're nearing this timeframe or have been using features like Precision Finding frequently, it may be wise to check for these signs more regularly[2][4].

By keeping an eye on these indicators, you can ensure that your AirTag remains functional and avoid being caught with a dead battery unexpectedly.
