Apple Airtag Does not come with rechargeable battery and is powered by the commonly found CR2032 Lithium 3V coin battery. Depending on usage, you may need to replace the battery airtag once every year. While CR2032 batteries are easy to find, Apple now mentions in its support page that CR2032 batteries with a bitter coating may not work with AirTag. Bitter coatings are applied to hazardous substances such as batteries to prevent children or pets from swallowing them.
