Yesterday one of my airtags gave the low battery notification. Was surprise because less than a year and battery is dead? I open the airtag and took out the battery and place the same battery in the airTag. Now findmy says the battery is full. So I don’t know if the battery is really low or thinks is full cause I reset the battery?
Got a tip for us?

False low battery notification?

This is something I've seen before with Lithium batteries in general. They will show low level but if taken off load and returned they will show full. If it happens again you might want to change the battery (but keep the old one) and see what happens. It could be a defective tag.
Just looked at my battery and one shows full and my other one shows about 25% capacity according to the battery level. Thought that was very strange. Removed my battery and put it back in and now showing full charge.

That happens with lithium batteries. Removing and reinserting fixes it. It's the first thing I do when I see low battery.
