Apple AirTag doesn’t come with a rechargeable battery and it is powered by the commonly found CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery. Depending on the usage, you may be required to change the battery of the AirTag once every year. While CR2032 batteries are easily found, Apple has now mentioned in its support page that CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag. Bitterant coatings are applied to hazardous substances like batteries to prevent children or pets from swallowing them.
