Melissa Dewalt caught the travel bug a decade ago when she drove from her home state of Pennsylvania across the country to California to visit her then-boyfriend. She then road-tripped north to Seattle.
Your AirTag battery only lasts a year — here's how to check it
30.08.2024 - 18:08 / thepointsguy.com
If you've used an AirTag for less than a year to track your luggage, you may not realize that the original AirTag battery only lasts for roughly one year.
In the same way that you can replace your iPhone battery, you can also replace your AirTag battery when it dies.
When your battery is on the brink of death, Apple will notify you via the FindMy app if you've connected your AirTag within the app. You can also proactively check the battery length within the app by opening the app and identifying your AirTag under the "Items" tab at the bottom.
Instead of replacing the AirTag itself when the time comes, you can replace the battery for less money. Then, you can continue using the AirTag. According to Apple, you should look for a CR2032 lithium 3-volt coin battery that states "Compatible with Apple AirTag."
Compatible batteries include the Panasonic CR2032 and Energizer CR2032 batteries, both of which are currently available on Amazon for $8 (for a pack of 10 and six, respectively). You can also find compatible batteries at most electronics stores and drugstores, per Apple.
If you can't find a battery in time or would prefer to replace your AirTag, one tag costs $28. Or, you can get a four-pack for $80. Also, we routinely see AirTags on sale.
Otherwise, if you know you've had your AirTag for roughly a year, consider purchasing a pack of replacement batteries for less than $10.

13 Travel Makeup Bags to Keep Your Beauty Essentials Secure and Organized
The best travel makeup bags keep your beauty and skincare essentials secure and organized while in transit, and help protect the rest of your belongings from accidental spills and leaks. A few years ago, I ruined one of my favorite tote bags after a bottle of foundation broke in my old makeup bag and spilled everywhere. There goes my tote bag and my overly priced foundation. After that, I decided to invest in a protective, durable travel makeup bag that could handle bumpy car rides, long-haul flights, and a reckless suitcase toss or two from TSA. The best options are also roomy enough to fit a vacation's worth of makeup while still being compact enough to neatly fit in your carry-on or personal item. And bonus points go to the cosmetic cases and bags that feature smart pockets or loops to keep small products like brushes, lipsticks, and eyeliner in place.
