New AirTag Case Promises 10-Year Battery Life with AA Batteries
Elevation Lab's TimeCapsule case offers extended battery life, waterproofing, and added durability for Apple's AirTag trackers.
- The TimeCapsule case replaces the AirTag's standard CR2032 coin battery with two AA batteries, extending battery life from one year to an estimated ten years.
- Designed by Elevation Lab, the case is made from fiber-reinforced polycarbonate and features IP69 waterproofing, offering protection against water, dust, and dirt.
- The case is ideal for outdoor and rugged use, such as tracking vehicles, boats, or luggage, and camouflages the AirTag to resemble a small external storage device.
- While it maintains Bluetooth and Ultra-Wideband signal strength, the case increases the AirTag's weight significantly and muffles its audible chirp by about one-third.
- TimeCapsule is available for purchase starting at $19.99, with users needing to supply their own AA batteries, such as the recommended Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries for optimal performance.
