a battery that lasts 10 years? Yes, it's possible and starting now

We regularly tell you stories where the AirTag played an important role. In particular, it made it possible to find objects on several occasions, whether luggage, a bicycle, and even loot worth 5 million euros. The beacon also helped bring down sign stealers during the last US elections, but despite the miracles it performs, the Apple GPS tracker still includes a restrictive limit.

If you use an AirTag, this limitation is probably not foreign to you, since it is simply the fact of having to change the battery every year. A constraint which may seem trivial at first glance, but which can in reality have serious consequences, as explained in the testimony of an ElevationLab photographer.

The latter recently lost $10,000 worth of equipment following a theft, because his GPS beacon had unfortunately run out of battery for several months. After this mishap, he found a solution so that this would no longer happen!

ElevationLab presents the battery for AirTag

Elevation Lab today presents a solution to avoid being a victim of an AirTag running out of juice. Its principle is simple: you replace the back cover of your AirTag with this new special shell. Instead of the traditional CR2032 button battery, you can now use two AA batteries. A change that allows you to take advantage of your GPS beacon for 10 years without interruption.

To guarantee optimal protection for your AirTag, TimeCapsule has not skimped on materials. You benefit from a fiber-reinforced composite housing and CNC machined screws guaranteeing total waterproofing. Enough to resist the most hostile environments.

If you have valuable items that have AirTags in them, you might be interested in this high-capacity case. ElevationLab also recommends opting for Energizer Ultimate lithium AA batteries in order to optimize the lifespan of TimeCapsule.

How much does it cost?

You can find the battery by following this link. She is charged $19.99to which shipping costs will probably have to be added. Note that as of the date of publication of this article, the product is already out of stock, but should be available again soon.

However, you will have to take into account a notable disadvantage: the increased case size. The latter could make your beacon more visible and therefore less effective in certain situations. A compromise to be evaluated according to your specific tracking needs.
