- Press down on the polished stainless steel battery cover on the back of the AirTag.
- While pressing down, rotate the cover counterclockwise until it stops turning and can be removed.
- Take out the old battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery with the positive (+) side facing up. You should hear a sound indicating the battery is connected.

Your AirTag is now ready to use with the new battery
. Additional tips:
