Apple's AirTag runs on a removable coin cell battery that can be easily serviced by the user, and Find My will tell them when it needs replacement.
The AirTag, a small puck-sized tracking device created by Apple for use with its Find My ecosystem, runs on removable coin cell batteries — and it's simple to find out whether a battery is ready for replacement. In some cases, users might not even have to take any extra steps to learn whether a battery still has life left in it, or needs replacing. Instead of using some kind of proprietary battery solution or a rechargeable battery that is not user-serviceable, Apple went with a coin cell battery that is pretty standard. While it's unlikely that a user will have the CR2032 battery that powers the AirTag around the house, a quick trip to the drugstore or supermarket is all it takes to find the replaceable battery.
Apple estimates that a single CR2032 battery should last about a year while in use within an AirTag, and the first one is pre-installed when the tracker is purchased. When it is time to swap out a new battery, the process is simple. However, without a screen or any other medium to let a user know that it is time to replace the battery inside an AirTag, the notifications and battery status functions are left to Apple's other devices. An AirTag cannot be setup without an Apple device, so it makes sense that part of the AirTag's usage relies on the company's devices. The Find My ecosystem, which encompasses all of the company's devices that have location tracking enabled, backs the AirTag and makes it possible to check the tracker's battery status.
Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
