Elevation Lab Launches Compact TimeCapsule for AirTag With Five-Year Battery Life

It powers an AirTag via two AAA batteries using an internal contact in a sealed IP69 housing.

Overview

  • The smaller TimeCapsule is available now from Elevation Lab, with pricing at $19.99 for one, $29.99 for two, and $39.99 for four.
  • The accessory replaces the AirTag’s CR2032 with a built-in contact that draws from two AAA cells, which the company says should last about five years.
  • Elevation Lab recommends Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries to maximize longevity and reduce the risk of leaks during long-term use.
  • The case is made of fiber‑reinforced polycarbonate and is designed not to reduce Bluetooth or UWB range, carrying over the original model’s IP69 protection.
  • Trade-offs include added weight at about 1.9 ounces with batteries and an estimated one‑third reduction in audible chirp volume versus an AirTag alone.
