When AirTag battery needs to be replaced, it's when your iPhone says so. It will use a CR2032 coin cell battery that is designed to last about 1 year of use and the Find My app will alert you for low battery. You can also go to the Items tab, choose your tag and view its battery status. Change the cell within a few days of the alert not once the tag has ceased responding a dead tag is not going to be found when you need it. Press the silver cover and turn it counterclockwise until it stops to replace AirTag battery. Unscrew the cover, take the old cell out and put in a new CR2032 cell, with the positive side up. Once it begins to press down, push it down and then line up the cover and turn clockwise until it locks. Then, test to ensure that it all works as it should. The tag will sound when it starts up, indicating that it has power. Next, in Find My, touch the Items tab, make sure that there isn't a battery icon in the tag, and there is a location icon. A sound can be played from the app to ensure the speaker functions correctly, and a few steps away to observe that the speaker's location changes.When powered on, if no sound is heard, remove the battery and make sure that it is installed correct side up and flat, then safely re-lock the battery cover. Old or rubbery cells are likely to fail and some coin batteries have a coating on the safety contacts that tastes bitter  try a different brand if this is the case . Do not give spare cells and free tags to small children as it is unsafe to swallow a coin battery and should be removed immediately.
