I have an AirTag in my car (in case I lose it in a parking lot or something). It beeps whenever I drive away. Why is this? This is no kind of "safety feature" because it is bound to my phone so obviously I want it there and I am the one who will know where it is. It's a waste of battery life.
AirTag
Could it be that this battery may be weak or defective? That is, did you happen to test it with a voltmeter prior to installing it to very voltage output?
Also, would this battery have a bitterant coating? These are known to be problematic with the AirTags.
An AirTag is designed to "beep" when it is separated from its "host" iPhone anywheres from 8 to 24 hours later.
AirTags are known to make a sound randomly, which is a way to alert the tag's owner to place the tag near their phone to locate the "lost" item. However, most likely, random beeping could also indicate a low battery condition.
At least you verified that the issue is not the battery. Thanks for giving that a try.
Sorry, I don't have a solid answer for you. At this point, I suggest that you contact Apple Support directly for further assistance with this matter. To do so, simply select the "Support" link on the lower left-hand side of this forum's web page.
I've recently changed the battery.
Same behavior as before I changed the battery, and same battery as in my other airtags.
