Keeping track of your belongings shouldn’t mean constantly replacing batteries. While Apple’s AirTag offers a respectable year of battery life, managing multiple tags can become a chore. Notifications for low power seem to arrive at the worst times, especially when your trackers are scattered in different locations. A clever solution emerged last year to tackle this exact problem, and now it’s been refined into a more versatile option.
The original TimeCapsule from Elevation Lab made a bold promise: a full decade of power for your AirTag. The product delivered on that claim, but its larger size wasn’t ideal for every situation. Sometimes, you need a tracker that fits into tighter spaces without sacrificing longevity. Recognizing this need, the company has just introduced a sleeker, more compact version of its popular battery case.
This new model is designed to extend your AirTag’s battery life for over five years. It achieves this by housing two AAA batteries, specifically Energizer Ultimate Lithium for optimal performance, which provide more than five times the capacity of the standard CR2032 coin cell. The concept is beautifully straightforward. You simply insert your AirTag, add the batteries, and then forget about power concerns for a very long time. The case is also built to be waterproof and maintains a discreet appearance that doesn’t hint at the tracker inside.
For those comparing the two options, the size difference is significant. The new five-year case measures 2.6 by 1.6 by 0.8 inches, making it far more pocketable and easier to conceal. The original ten-year version comes in at 4.45 by 1.57 by 0.75 inches, offering maximum battery life for situations where size is less of a constraint. This gives users a clear choice based on their specific needs, ultimate battery endurance or a more streamlined form factor.
The compact TimeCapsule is now available for purchase, either as a single unit or in convenient multipacks. Whether you’re securing luggage, hiding a spare key, or monitoring valuable equipment, this accessory provides a reliable way to maintain a connection to your items without the hassle of annual battery swaps. It transforms the AirTag from a yearly maintenance item into a truly set-and-forget device.
